**Realm of the Wyvern** is a tactical turn-based RPG by solo developer
solarnomad, announced for 2026 on Steam with a playable demo already available
for Windows and Linux. Steam describes the art as 1-bit: flat unshaded sprites
in a handful of solid colours against black.

## Features

- A party of three: a **knight, a ranger and a mage**, in the land of Skyllia
- **Turn-based tactical combat on a 9×9 grid**, using artifacts, spells and
  summons against a large roster of unique foes
- A **handcrafted open world** of villages and ancient ruins, rather than a
  procedurally generated one
- Little mandatory story
- System requirements of a 1 GHz CPU, 2 GB RAM and 100 MB of storage

Steam tags it Tactical RPG, Turn-Based Tactics, Dark Fantasy, Dungeon Crawler,
Open World, Party-Based RPG and Pixel Graphics.

## Story

Three adventurers cross the decaying land of Skyllia to meet Cetris, a legendary
wyvern.

## Concessions

Realm of the Wyvern is a landscape desktop game, so it does not have the **vertical,
one-handed UI**.
