Built around party-building, tough tactical battles, and run-based progression - Forsworn is definitely one you need to keep an eye on. Resummon Studios recently revealed a September 10th release date with Linux support.

Forsworn is all about experimenting with new heroes, abilities, items, and strategies after every inevitable defeat. Playable entirely solo or you can bring up to three friends along for the ride as you push deeper into the realm and grow stronger with each run.

Across runs, your heroes can learn new abilities, equip powerful items, earn special blessings, and unlock upgrades that change how they fight. Battles are designed to keep the action moving while still giving players room to plan, adapt, and work together against overwhelming odds. When a run ends in defeat, players return stronger, rebuild their party, and try again with a new strategy.
