Evaluation

The Hidden Scrolls launched on July 15, 2026 as a turn-based tactical roguelike featuring five regions, 13 character classes, 60+ creatures, and 10+ bosses. The developer has been visibly active post-launch, shipping six patches between July 15 and July 23, 2026 — covering bug fixes, balance changes, new trait effects, new accessory items, and a new in-game currency mechanic (Wraithspite). This demonstrates an engaged studio actively refining the game. However, no DLC has been listed on the store, and no roadmap, expansion, or announcement of future content has been made by the developer. The game appears to have launched as a complete product, but at just over two months old as of September 24, 2026, it is still too early to determine with confidence whether the developer plans to expand it further.

About this game

Step into a Spring and Autumn fantasy realm where ink-wash brushstrokes meet the texture of oil painting. Mist-shrouded peaks, abandoned bamboo paths, desolate ancient ruins… Five distinct regions await your exploration. Battle monsters, bandits, and fallen souls twisted by obsession into demonic forms. Collect cryptic bamboo slips to piece together the truth behind the chaos.

Assemble your expedition party by freely combining retainers from 13 classes: Swordsmen, Physicians, Shamans, Drum Warriors and more. Combat goes beyond positioning; skill synergies are key. Even with the same lineup, drastically different playstyles emerge, ready to take on 60 mystical beasts and over 10 uniquely designed bosses.

Battle tests not only your tactics, but also your retainers' minds. They may grow bolder in desperation, or break down and flee from terror. Fallen characters face permanent death. When a companion is lost in the wilds, will you risk your entire party to bring them back?

After each expedition, return to town to rest, develop, and recruit talent. Construct various buildings and enlist legendary figures from the Spring and Autumn era: Lord Xinling helps you recruit capable retainers to fill vacancies, Yan Ying boosts morale through lectures, and Gan Jiang forges peerless weapons for you. Through rituals and research, strengthen your forces, enhance your gear, and prepare for the journey ahead.
