Dive into the bleak, captivating world of Rotspire, a text-based RPG inspired by the dark fantasy realm of Mörk Borg. Choose from six unique hero classes and set forth on a perilous journey filled with monsters, dungeons, and unrelenting challenges. Key Features: • Epic Journeys: Venture into the unknown, where each step holds danger, treasure, or an NPC waiting with cryptic tales. • D20-Based Combat: Engage in thrilling battles where critical success and failure hinge on the roll of a die. • Skill Pathways: Customize your hero’s progression by choosing from Mage, Rogue, or Warrior skill trees. • Dynamic Encounters: Discover items, fight ferocious creatures, or try your luck at evasion. • Factions and Raids: Join forces with other players, raid faction-based dungeons, and vie for eminence on the leaderboard. • Dungeon Expeditions: Explore two types of dungeons—hero-based and faction-based—each promising unique rewards. • Trade System: Barter and trade with fellow heroes for essential items and powerful artifacts. • Death has consequences. Recover and rejoin the adventure with resilience. Prepare for the ultimate test of courage and strategy in Rotspire. Will you rise to greatness or be consumed by darkness?

Decent game ruined by AI

I see the vision and my bf and I really like morkborg but the AI generated “art” really ruins this game :(I read some of the other reviews and the developers replies, and I just want to encourage you to keep developing this game, but without the generated AI “art”.I admire you for putting your own money into this project, and it clearly is one of your passions. I’d love to give this another review if/when they add real art :D

I noticed pretty quickly, probably like most, that the art is clearly AI generated. Now I understand that the developers or developer may not be an artist and AI is an interesting tool that takes only seconds and costs nothing. However as a fan of Mörk Borg I can confidently say that there are plenty of artists that understand that style and idea that would love to work on it. I say this as an artist too. Please consider reaching out to some artists to have some paintings made. I know you want to make money too, but take pride in your work and the creative people it takes to help it come into fruition. Plus it’s honestly really cringy to see a poorly made ai painting of a world that was literally built by real people. Oh and pro tip, don’t ask ai to make pixel art, that should be a no brainer, cmon man.

Developer Response
Hey, I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts — especially as both a fan of Mörk Borg and an artist. I totally get where you’re coming from.Just to clarify one thing: AI "art" doesn’t actually cost nothing — between server hosting, processing, and the tools involved, it’s far from free. Rotspire itself is a completely free game and hasn’t made a cent so far. I’m covering everything out of my own pocket, just because I love building it as a side project.That said, I absolutely agree there’s real value in human creativity. I’m definitely open to working with artists who share that vision — if you’re interested, feel free to reach out to me directly at krcaltomas99@gmail.com. Would love to hear your ideas.Thanks again for the honest feedback :) Tomáš K.

Slow but good

I am enjoying the game so far, however I have been trying to figure out what the stat “presence” means. As well as other stats. I’m pretty sure I know the others but I like to know what they mean in each game. As well as type of characters. Why the difference in stat points. Some are 3 total others are 5 total starting points.

Developer Response
Glad to hear that you like Rotspire, and thank you for the thoughtful comments. Presence comes into play with social or mental confrontations — persuasion, intimidation, or standing against fear. In those situations, the game rolls a d20 and applies your Presence modifier.Stat point difference on start is intentional – classes are more specialized and others balanced out with more evenly divided stats.Tomáš K.

This game is pretty interesting, but the way you progress is just flawed and slow. You spend more time waiting than actually playing this game.
