About Knights of the Chalice
Knights of the Chalice is a 2D RPG with turn-based combat for Windows. The game uses the OGL 3.5, the set of rules at the root of Dungeons & Dragons 3.5, a role-playing game from Wizards of the Coast. Create a party of four adventurers, explore the Crimson Coast of Mindrel and fight valiantly against the evil Council of the Slaver Lords, domineering Giants, fiendish Demons and scheming Dragons.
Free Demo/Tutorial: this is a unique adventure.
A haunted forest. Strange ruins. The villagers call this place “Devil’s Lair”. The ruins may be dead, so they say, but the sinister, malevolent creatures that lurk underneath most certainly are not.
Tightening your packs, you reflect upon this. The devil’s lair, Hah! How could any self-respecting adventurer shy away from the golden opportunity? In this short adventure, the player characters are pre-created and start at level 3.For more information, please visit the developer's website. Thank you for reading!
- Turn-based, party-based tactical combat similar to that found in the old Dark Sun Shattered Lands game made by SSI and in Troika's Temple of Elemental Evil.
- User-friendly interface. Launch a charge, full-attack or coup-de-grace with a single click - the computer will automatically look for the best option available.
- Well-developed artificial intelligence. Enemies act as a group and use special actions like Grapple or Charge and tactics like taking a five-foot step before casting Maximised Fireball.
- Omnipresent help files and clear in-game feedback (a feature also found in Temple of Elemental Evil) on the results of each dice roll, saving throw, attack roll, modifiers, etc.
- 175 magic spells, most of which were taken from, or inspired by, Wizard of the Coast's open game content. The list of spells is available from the developer's website.
- Craft your own weapons and apply enchantments like Wounding, Speed, Flaming Burst and Keen. The lists of weapon enchantments and feats are in the developer's website.
- Multiple-choice dialogue allowing you to resolve situations in unexpected ways.
- A large campaign largely inspired by the classic Dungeons & Dragons modules Scourge of the Slave Lords and Against the Giants.
- Enjoy collecting 100 Steam achievements designed to challenge the best tacticians.

this game is too hard1 found this helpful
A flawed masterpiece.1 found this helpful
I miss my table top days and this is the closest to scratching that itch. DND 3.5 is life, and KOTC is peak. EDIT: Finished it! Amazingly fun and addictive. Highly recommended CRPG!1 found this helpful
Best D&D 3.5 turn based combat, challenging, but fair difficulty, i really don't understand why some people find it too hard.1 found this helpful
Best crpg i already played in my life.
This is the RPG to play for fans of classic fantasy & genuinely difficult, tactical combat with D&D-ish rules (It uses the open license version of D&D 3.5) This game has an average story where you slay lots of evil villains & save the land. It doesn't have fleshed out or developed character. But it does have good exploration, a real artstyle (reminds me of D&D: Warriors of the Eternal Sun) and the combat & character building is genuinely involving and rewarding. Bespoke, hand-crafted combat encounters with a brutal enemy AI that will use spells, abilities, grapples etc and will use them well is the absolute core of this game. It's more difficult than the average RPG, from start to finish. Highly recommended to those that think that sounds appealing. I do not recommend the game so much if you play RPGs mainly for story/characters.
