Ved

About

Ved is a hand-drawn RPG that mixes turn-based strategy with roguelite twists. You play as Cyrus, a rookie hero trying to balance swordplay and spellcasting while navigating two distinct worlds. Each battle unfolds in grid-based combat where positioning and elemental weaknesses matter. Progression feels organic, with randomized encounters and permadeath risks keeping runs fresh. The story unfolds through dialogue and environmental storytelling, focusing on Cyrus's growth and the crumbling worlds he tries to save. The art style stands out, everything feels like a living sketch, with fluid animations and expressive character designs. Combat demands thought without slowing pace, balancing depth and accessibility. While still new, early reviews highlight its creative risk-taking and how the roguelite elements add weight to every decision. Released in late 2024, it’s shaping up as a bold indie take on classic RPG themes.
