Evaluation

Swords 'n Magic and Stuff remains in Early Access and is actively being developed toward an eventual 1.0 release. The developer (Kindred Games — a small indie studio) has maintained a steady stream of updates since the game's Early Access launch in September 2020, including five major content drops across 2024–2026 alone: the Treasure Hunting update (March 2024), Delver's Pass (October 2024), Crimson Skies with a new zone storyline (June 2025), the Frostfall winter event (December 2025), and the Seasons system with the Bloom Day event (March 2026). The most recent patch was released on April 16, 2026, fixing bugs and signaling that "some awesome stuff" is in the works for the rest of the year. Most importantly, a developer statement from January 20, 2026 explicitly confirmed that the team is planning "one more major content push" before rounding the corner to an official 1.0 release. That statement makes clear that development is ongoing and that players should expect additional content before the game is considered complete. No release date for 1.0 has been announced, but the developer has committed to keeping the community informed as the timeline is finalized.

About this game

Swords 'n Magic and Stuff is a cozy, cooperative, open world RPG centered around the joy of discovery. 

Start your journey as a hopeful hero on their way to Tirawyn, a land of adventure. But along the way your ship is boarded by an orc warband and you're thrown into a dungeon with your childhood friend. Escape your captors and head out into a large open world to write your own story.

Swords 'n Magic and Stuff is all about exploration and adventure. Explore a densely packed, hand-crafted, open world and reignite your sense of discovery as you uncover new secrets around every corner.

Go it alone or bring along all of your friends in a cooperative online multiplayer experience featuring a simple multiplayer lobby system or host your own dedicated server. With locally saved characters, you carry your progress to your friends' servers so you never have to start over.

Who says cozy RPG's can't have depth? Swords 'n Magic's combat system is fluid, fun and action focused. Strafe, dodge, parry and attack without ever being rooted in place.

Combat is based around 6 different classes you can level up independently by simply using the different weapons tied to them. Dual wield any weapons you like and mix and match your gear to fine tune your playstyle. Become a splash potion-slinging rogue, a necromancer warrior, or even a bardic healer. The limit is your own creativity.

Swords 'n Magic and Stuff offers over 1500 unique items to discover and collect as you adventure through the world.

Dig through piles of dirt to discover bait for fishing, seeds for planting or magic cubes for donating to evil cults. Discover new chests each day with a randomized, respawning chest system that ensures you've always got new loot to plunder as you explore.

And the best part? All the loot is local to you, so you never have to fight over it with your friends.

Swords 'n Magic has hundreds of quests. Some quests are fetch quests, some are kill quests and some require you to lure hundreds of angry bees into the arms of a bee fanatic for a big, cozy bee hug.

Discover loads of secret quests by reading stashed away books, stumbling through hidden doors or paying close attention to the hundreds of NPC's all with unique dialog. Questing in Swords 'n Magic is as much of an adventure as anything else and it's not always laid out directly in front of you.

No RPG would be complete without the ability to craft. Swords 'n Magic and Stuff offers several crafting skills to level up, including blacksmithing, carpentry, tailoring, cooking, farming and alchemy.

Discover new recipes by leveling up your craft, visiting different shops, looting chests or completing quests. Harvest resources with tools, pick plants and herbs, start a farming empire or enjoy the simple life fishing on the local pond.

Discover plots of land for sale scattered all around Tirawyn. Buy one (or all of them) and stake your claim to your own little safe haven. Use blueprints for buildable structures to construct your first home, or design it from the ground up.

With a grid-free decoration system, you can freely decorate your plots however you see fit with hundreds of unique collectible furniture items. Want to cover your entire house in gems? Build a museum to show off rare items? Design a tavern for you and your friends to come back to after an adventure? Go for it.

Swords 'n Magic and Stuff was designed from the ground up with a more casual experience in mind. As a husband and wife dev team, we have very different tastes in games at times.

Swords 'n Magic is a love letter to the gamer couples out there who are looking for a cozy life sim game with a heaping helping of exploration and action combat. As avid MMO players, we know what the grind to get the most desirable gear can be like, and Swords 'n Magic promises to make that grind far more casual, being friendly to busy schedules and short attention spans.

Funded and driven by our community
