About Stones Keeper: King Aurelius
Free prequel to the main campaign!
The story of King Aurelius's courage and self-sacrifice
The story of King Aurelius's courage and self-sacrifice – leader of the Order of the Griffin. The Inquisition, guarding the borderlands, asks for help as undead units are increasingly infiltrating the territory of the order. Aurelius takes on the task of protecting his own lands, unaware that this is only a small part of what his entire Order will face in the future.
The Order of the Griffin has at its disposal a floating island-fortress on which its castle sits. As you develop your castle, you will have the opportunity to hire new warriors, equip them with weapons, armor, and elixirs. You can upgrade the castle's core systems to fight off pirate ships, artillery, and other flying islands. While moving your castle around the map, you explore and participate in story quests, discover ancient ruins, secrets, rewards, and artifacts.
Stones Keeper uses a turn-based combat system, which lets you use environmental objects as protection against your enemies. As well as the ability to break some of the environmental objects down to move faster, which, in turn, opens up a lot of strategic possibilities.
You can customize your squad by recruiting new companions with multiple specializations, skills and weapon preferences. Missions and battles will be just as diverse: Command your warriors to besiege enemy settlements or defend yours, protect your order's churches, escort civilian wagons, lay siege to enemy castles, aid your allies, and capture new technologies to upgrade your castle.
Defend the Order's lands and uncover the beginning of the Order's great history.

✦ AI summary
Stones Keeper is a solid turn-based tactical RPG that players appreciate for its engaging combat system, environmental interaction mechanics, and progression through character upgrades and a mobile flying city base. However, the game has rough edges including a steep early difficulty curve, clunky interface design, limited unit variety in squad composition, and uninspired leveling mechanics that hold it back from being a more polished experience.

Easy to start, satisfying to master. Great tactical game with character equipment, level ups and various abilities. Did I mention you have flying city, that you can upgrade and move across map to discover loot?1 found this helpful
🏆 PLATINUM ACHIEVED! Review: Stones Keeper 🏰✨ I just platinumed this game and here are my thoughts! If you enjoy a solid medieval tactical challenge, this one is definitely worth a look. 🎮 Game Style: Turn-Based | Strategy | RPG | Medieval Fantasy 💻 Platform: PC (Steam) 💎 Platinum Difficulty: Medium ⚖️ 💰 Price: €14.99 (Free Demo Available!) 👍 Do I recommend it? Yes! But fair warning: the beginning is tough. 🛡️ My Thoughts on the Game Stones Keeper really shines with its turn-based combat system. The coolest feature is the environmental interaction 🪵🪨. You can use objects on the map as cover against enemies or smash them to move faster across the battlefield. This opens up a ton of strategic possibilities! You manage a squad, recruit companions with multiple specializations and weapons, and upgrade your castle by capturing new technologies. The missions are highly diverse: you'll find yourself defending churches, escorting civilian carts, and launching massive sieges on enemy castles. ⚔️🏰 ⚠️ Friendly Advice: The game is unforgiving at first! The learning curve is a bit steep and the beginning is quite challenging. If you're on the fence, try out the Free Demo bef…
I am a self proclaimed "The Prologue Guy" and i approve of this half baked. ( ദ്ദി ˙ᗜ˙ )
This game is rough around the edges, but considering that it's free, enjoyable, and visually appealing, I recommend it if you like turn-based tactical combat. - The game looks nice, with a clean art style, but animations are rather minimalistic. - Tactical battles are engaging with units that have different roles, and can use various abilities and consumable items. Though I wish there was more variety. You can only hire one of each unit type, I'd prefer if it was possible to mix and match your army. And the level-up system feels a bit uninspired. - The interface and controls are clunky. For example, closing popup messages requires clicking on a tiny "x" instead of something like a big "OK" button. In combat, it’s not always clear which abilities are usable, you have to try to use them to find out (e.g. you don't have enough AP or it's disabled by other ability). And it took me almost the entire game to notice the small icons indicating which units I could target with different abilities. - The game is very short, with only about 30-40 minutes of gameplay.
Nice
