One Fenix Down is available now on Steam, bringing Regalcraft Games’ debut turn-based RPG to PC after ten years of development. The game costs $19.99, with a 15% launch discount available for a limited time.
Inspired by 1990s Japanese RPGs, One Fenix Down features pixel art, hand-drawn character sprites, and a campaign the developer says runs over 40 hours. Its story centers on destiny, redemption, and the balance between peace and war, with party relationships and personal choices shaping the experience.
Turn-Based Battles Feature Excedo Skills and Three Difficulties
Combat emphasizes elemental interactions, party synergy, and tactical decisions. You can use elemental magic, martial arts, traps, and monster abilities, with character-specific Excedo skills becoming available when the corresponding meter fills.
The game includes three difficulty settings, letting you adjust the challenge. Its rotating roster of 14-plus playable party members encourages changes to your lineup and tactics as the story progresses.
Regalcraft also promises over 600 items and pieces of equipment, giving you more options for outfitting your party. Each character brings individual motives and goals to the group, making their relationships as central to the campaign as combat.
A Decade-Long Project Inspired by SNES RPGs
Founder and lead developer Ryan “RC” Dunn began the project while living in East Asia. That experience influenced a protagonist who rebuilds his sense of self-worth while encountering unfamiliar cultures and places.
Dunn cites playing Final Fantasy III on the SNES as a childhood inspiration. He developed One Fenix Down in his spare time over the past decade, with the project eventually growing to involve artists, programmers, QA specialists, and other contributors.
The game’s 2024 Kickstarter campaign reached its funding goal in three days, Regalcraft Games says. Its soundtrack also draws on SNES-era RPG music and features guest vocalist Emi Evans.
One Fenix Down is available now on Steam for $19.99 before the limited-time launch discount.
