Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated 2h ago

Flashlight Games is publishing the turn-based roguelite RPG The Hero's Party Has Been Wiped Out, developed by Death Kumiai, with the release now set for November 10, 2026 on PC via Steam. Earlier coverage in July 2026 reported the title under a different English rendering, The Brave Party Was Annihilated, and a developer named as Death Guild. The game was pushed from its original July 22, 2026 date, with the team citing time needed to improve overall feel and adjust battle balance.

The story structure is settled across both stories: the player is the lone survivor of a rescue team sent after a hero's party that went missing in a dungeon, and chooses one partner from four broken members to escape with. Combat is a turn-based card battle where items in hand become cards with limited uses. A demo playable up to the first boss, the Exile, with all four partners selectable, is scheduled for release soon, alongside a trailer marking the release date.

What remains undecided is the price. The July story said a new demo was planned to gather user feedback during the final development phase; the October story confirms the demo's scope and the November 10 date. Nothing in the coverage names a final price or a firm demo date.
