Stonewards has crossed 100,000 wishlist registrations ahead of its early access launch, Banana Tiger Studio announced. The game casts players as a dwarf tasked with rescuing the dwarven kingdom's fortress by digging through procedurally generated tunnels, collecting ore, and forging equipment.
The core loop repeats mining, forging, and combat. Going deeper into tunnels yields better ores and treasure chests but cuts into preparation time. Resources return to the forge for weapons, repairs, and random upgrades. Defense battles require maintaining walls and gates against monster waves.
Early access starts August 12 on PC via Steam, priced at 1,350 yen. Japanese language support is planned. The early access period is expected to last 9 to 12 months, with a slight price increase at full release.
