Overview

Hero's Guild is a guild management roguelike from solo developer Antoni Saez, released into Early Access on October 26, 2026. The core premise is simple but emotionally loaded: your heroes are not expendable.

They have names, friends, lovers, and opinions about their equipment. When they die—permanently—your guild will never quite be the same.

This is a game about managing people, not just stats.

Highlights

  • Heroes with real personalities: Every hero arrives with a personality, not just a stat page pretending to be one. They have feelings about party composition, equipment, and each other—and those feelings aren't always helpful.
  • Permanent death and its consequences: Death is permanent, and it carries weight. Heroes can suffer mental breaks from stress, and the narrative explores grief and loss when they die. The tavern features alcohol and gambling, adding to the lived-in atmosphere.
  • Tactical dungeon crawling: Send your party into dungeons that are actively trying to kill them. Turn-based tactics meet party-based RPG mechanics, with base building and story-rich dark comedy woven throughout.

Who It's For

If you enjoy tactical RPGs, dungeon crawlers, or management sims with a strong narrative bent, Hero's Guild should be on your radar. The dark comedy and mature themes (presented in a stylized, teen-appropriate way) will appeal to players who like their strategy games with emotional stakes.

The Early Access status means you'll be part of shaping the game's future.
