The Journey

In a mountain citadel bound by debt, a lone swordsman climbs a shifting tower of elemental realms. Master fire, ice, poison and thunder as you fight warlords, claim power and carve your path to freedom.

You start one million in debt, and every day it grows. Fight through the tower's floors for gold, then decide what it buys: pay down the debt, hone your sword, learn new techniques, or climb the ranks of the citadel. There are no experience points and no levels. Every bit of power you gain, you earn and choose.

About the Game

What is Honed to Perfection?

A stylized action RPG about a swordsman fighting his way out of debt. You switch between elemental swords in fast, skill-based combat, climb a tower of dungeon floors, and grow stronger through what you buy, not through experience levels.

Where can I play it?

Honed to Perfection is coming to PC on Steam. Wishlist it to get notified the moment it launches.

How does progression work?

Everything runs on one currency. Gold from monsters, bosses and treasure pays your debt, upgrades your attributes, unlocks skill tree nodes and ability ranks, ranks up your swords at the forge and promotes you through ten divisions.

What are the elements?

Fire, ice, poison and thunder. Each has its own sword, its own abilities and its own realm behind a portal in the citadel. Monsters resist some elements and are weak to others.
