The Sundered Anvil

A party of greenhorn adventurers acquires a contract to retrieve an anvil stolen from a remote village, only to discover the job is more than they bargained for. A turn-based, party-focused, old-school, handmade role-playing game inspired by classics such as Wizardry and Might & Magic.

  • A storyline rich in lore, set in the high fantasy world of Olytheus.
  • Single-player, and playable offline.
  • Extensive character stats and skills, with thousands of randomly generated items.
  • Build your party of custom characters from 8 races, 8 classes, and 25 skills, or select from eight pre-built characters for instant gameplay.
  • Set your game's base difficulty and begin your quest. The game does not scale in challenge after that. You will live or die based on the quality of your party's build.

Who we are

Basilisk (opens in a new tab) Games is an independent game development studio founded in 2005, headquartered within a cursed, thorny glade somewhere in the wilds of Indiana.

We are gamers just like you, and we believe that games should be DRM-free, able to be played offline without an internet connection, and belong to you when you buy them.

Send us an email, or consider donating (opens in a new tab) to help us buy a Steam Deck and a MacBook Pro for the studio so we can port The Sundered Anvil to those platforms.
