Combat
Building Combat Around Decisions
How positioning, initiative, enemy behavior, and party roles can make each encounter feel more tactical.
A solo indie game studio crafting authentic turn-based RPG experiences for players who miss strategy, character-driven stories, and battles that actually make you think.
Broken Build Studios is built around the kind of RPG design that rewards curiosity, planning, experimentation, and emotional investment.
Inspired by classic RPGs without simply copying them. The goal is to bring back the feeling, not freeze the genre in time.
Systems need to matter. Combat, positioning, resources, and builds should create real decisions instead of empty button presses.
Small team, direct vision, personal process. No corporate mask, no overpromising, just transparent development and honest ambition.
Every character, mechanic, and pixel should feel intentional. The work is small-scale, but the care behind it is not.
Made in Brazil, built for RPG fans everywhere. The studio speaks to players who still believe turn-based games have a future.
The journey matters. Updates, experiments, mistakes, and progress should be part of the adventure, not hidden away.
Some battles leave scars deeper than steel.
Echoes of Argenta is a turn-based RPG about loss, difficult choices, and the weight carried by those who survive. It follows Gariel Argen and his companions through a world shaped by rupture, conflict, and old magic.
The goal is to mix classic RPG soul with modern tactical clarity: meaningful positioning, resource pressure, character identity, and battles that reward planning instead of repetition.
A place for progress updates, design breakdowns, combat system notes, visual experiments, and the real process behind building an indie RPG.
How positioning, initiative, enemy behavior, and party roles can make each encounter feel more tactical.
Testing character height, monster readability, battle silhouettes, and how much detail works in small sprites.
Exploring elemental pressure, thresholds, proc buildup, resistances, and status effects with real gameplay impact.
Broken Build Studios is a solo indie operation. Every follow, share, wishlist, message, and future support option helps the project move from prototype to playable adventure.
