Beaten Path is a turn-based, tactical RPG where you traverse a shattered world, fend off foes, and strategize your way to victory.

Beaten Path

Follow the journey of Shim, an elderly mage, and her student, Panna, as they travel through a shattered world. The Grarl -- embodiments of humans' worst qualities -- tore apart the world long ago, leaving only a handful of islands remaining in the human realm. Only the Sovereign's strength was able to drive the Grarl back to their realm, sealing them there for over a hundred years.

Now, the seal is broken and they threaten humanity once more. Shim and Panna lead the campaign to defeat the Grarl, traveling to varied islands scattered across the human and Grarl realms. Their path takes them through the grand desert city of Marnew, the wooden landscape of the Palimpsests, and even to the Sovereign's place of rest.
