Berlin, Germany – August 20, 2024 – Today, Thunderful and Studio Fizbin, a German indie game studio known for crafting socially relevant, narrative-driven games, revealed Reignbreaker, a medievalpunk action-roguelike coming soon to PC.

In Reignbreaker, players wreak havoc on a dystopian kingdom as Clef, a child soldier turned anarchist rebel. From deep within the gothic sprawl of the Queen’s domain, Clef and a band of rebels dash and smash through legions of hostile high-tech medieval machines to breach the inner sanctums of the Bastion, a giant fortress where the unimaginable riches of the elite are stored. Players must plunder the coffers of the Bastion, smash the kingdom and become The Reignbreaker.

“Clef and her band of miscreants are aiming to take down the oppressive evil in their world, with no agenda but to tear down the entire system in pursuit of a utopian society,” said Alexander Pieper, CEO and Technical Director at Studio Fizbin. “Reignbreaker’s narrative is a reflection of the reemergence of right-wing authoritarianism and extreme class exploitation we see in the world. Our studio is known for crafting meaningful narratives and artistic worlds, and now that we’re part of the Thunderful family, we are able to expand on that with our most complex gameplay to date.”

Reignbreaker presents players with a unique hand-drawn dungeoneering experience with stylish inspirations from punk, anime and pop culture. The medievalpunk roguelike features brutal and fast-paced combat with several unlockable variations of motorized Javelins, Clef’s weapon of choice. Equal parts weapon and lockpick, the Javelin is a deadly tool used to fight machines, open doors and override traps. With a strong femme protagonist, eccentric characters and a seductive story about uprising and rebellion, Reignbreaker delivers an unforgettable power fantasy about smashing an oppressive system and returning power to the people.

Developed by Studio Fizin and published by Thunderful, Reignbreaker is coming soon to PC. Wishlist Reignbreaker here, sign up to our newsletter here, check out the reveal trailer here, and join the community on X, TikTok, Instagram, and Discord.
