Evaluation

Trials of Valor launched on March 5, 2026 as a finished release and is available for purchase. Since then the developer has shipped a steady run of major updates: version 1.1.1 on March 13, 2026, version 1.2 on March 27, 2026, version 1.3 on April 19, 2026, version 1.4 on April 25, 2026, version 1.5 on May 16, 2026, version 1.6 on June 15, 2026, and version 2.0 on August 10, 2026. Gaps between these updates have ranged from about one week to about two months. Version 2.0 added Endless Mode, a player camp with crafting stations, and over 70 new charms. A subclass the developer teased in March arrived in the June update. The last major update was 2.0 on August 10, 2026, and the only communication since then is a small bug fix on August 11, 2026. A developer post about the game's history and future was published alongside the 2.0 launch. Because updates have come regularly and the developer has kept working on the game, it is treated as still receiving substantial updates. The developer has not clearly committed to specific future updates in the material reviewed, so this assessment rests mainly on the pattern of past releases.

About this game

This roguelike fighter blends RPG elements with fast, skill-based combat.

  • Choose your path across a board game-style map.

  • Fight enemies, collect gear and face powerful bosses.

  • Master attacking, evading and blocking to overcome every challenge in this unforgiving world.

Every run is different

Map content, gear modifiers and encounters change every run. Build your character from randomized choices of abilities, equipment and charms to come up with interesting combinations, or to create overpowered builds.

Climb ascensions

Each character has 10 increasingly difficult Ascension levels to beat. Complete Ascensions to unluck unique charms for future runs and earn exclusive cosmetic armor pieces to show off your veteran status.

Endless Mode [NEW IN 2.0]

See how many waves you can survive in the new Endless Mode!

Construct and upgrade crafting stations in your own camp to gain the advantage in fights. Be prepared, the enemies grow stronger after each Elite Encounter!

What you're up against

  • Each enemy has their own strengths and weaknesses.

  • 3 maps with different paths and biomes.

  • An Endless Mode where you upgrade your camp to survive the increasing difficulty.

  • 50+ character stats that affect how your character performs.

  • A large pool of selectable abilities with unique choices for each character class.

  • Countless weapons and gear pieces to equip, each with random modifiers every time they are created. The same sword can fit two very different playstyles!

  • 200+ charms to increase your chance of victory, some even change the rules of the game entirely.

  • 3 main classes and 7 subclasses to unlock!
