Description

Dive into a living medieval fantasy sandbox RPG where the world lives and acts with or without you. Villagers follow routines, factions compete for power, dangers roam the land, and every decision can create opportunity or disaster.

Become a thief, hunter, or sellsword. Travel alone or build a party. Hunt, steal, trade, fight, and survive in a fully enterable world where every building, cave, and road can become part of your story.

No fake doors. No decorative cave entrances. If you can reach it, you can enter it.

Play solo or build your squad

Create the heroes of your journey. Customize each member of your party’s appearance, hairstyle, physique, and background story to make your mark on the world.

Every choice teaches you something. Earn experience through what you do and unlock skills that keep you alive. Go in loud with brutal weapons, or stay unseen, avoid fair fights, and end threats before they notice you.

Survive, Craft & Build

The world won’t keep you safe; you’ll have to prepare. Stock up, craft gear, and choose how you live: settle in town by renting a house, or roam freely with camps you can set up between expeditions. Hunt, gather, and craft your loadout, then do whatever it takes to survive.

Write Your Own Story

Valorborn is built around player-driven stories, not a single scripted path. Start small and survive however you can. Steal and sell stolen goods. Live off the wilderness and trade pelts for coin. Take contracts and hunt the dangers stalking roads, ruins, and settlements. Tip faction conflicts in your favor, exploit the chaos for profit, or stay out of politics and carve your own path. Your choices shape your identity, your reputation, and your future.

Mechanics Available in Early Access

  • Living World Simulation

        AI characters follow day and night routines, travel, work, and react to danger with or without your involvement.

  • Sandbox Roleplay

       Choose your own path as a thief, hunter, sellsword, or forge your own way through the world.

  • Faction Tension and Conflict 

       Kingdoms, guilds, and local groups pursue power, survival, and influence across the region.

  • Fully Enterable World

       Every building, cave, and point of interest is designed to be explored.

  • Survival Systems

       Hunt, gather, manage resources, and prepare for long journeys through dangerous territory.

  • Stealth, Stealing, and Crime

       Pick locks, steal valuables, and profit from risk while living with the consequences.

  • Camp and Progression Systems

       Set up camps, prepare supplies, and build a stronger foothold as your story grows.

  • Solo or Party Play

       Survive alone or build a group and shape multiple lives in the same world.

  • Permadeath

      Death can wait behind every corner, but risk, loss, and adaptation are part of what make each run rewarding.

The game is **FAR** from finished. There is like an hour of content, gated behind a walking simualtor because mobs are very spread out. The crafting system is wonky, and buggy as hell. They have released a couple

As a big Kenshi fan and someone who played Kenshi when IT was in Alpha, this was a must-try for me. And while I do admit, it is still clearly in a early stage of development, I also can't deny it has incredible

You're not being sold medieval Kenshi, you're being sold the idea of it, There is no game here. You enter an open world with the most nothing I've ever seen, long roads that go to invisible walls in the middle of

This game is still a concept. There is literally something wrong with every single aspect of this game. I would write out a list, but it would be easier to count the things that aren't wrong with it. Which is again just

The game is playable to some degree, but it's a janky buggy mess at the moment. I recommend waiting on purchasing, or get it on sale. Its not worth the asking amount in its current state.

The game is all jank. Two questions for the devs 1 Why are the forearms on backwards? 2. Why are the necks coming out of the characters chest? You really do not care and are putting out junk to make a buck. So return.
