Indie developer Cinder Pit Studios has officially revealed the Steam store page for its debut title, Neidfyre. This turn-based duel dungeon crawler is set in the land of Kurania, a world consumed by perpetual darkness, fanatical crusades, and monstrous threats. Players take control of a protagonist on a personal quest, such as searching for a missing sibling or seeking to lift a powerful curse. The game focuses on high-stakes exploration where every encounter feels like a life-or-death struggle within a beautifully dark and atmospheric setting.

Sophisticated 1v1 Combat System

The standout feature of Neidfyre is its unique 1v1 combat system, which emphasizes psychological warfare, positioning, and timing. Rather than simply trading attacks, players must carefully manage distance and initiative to secure victory. The gameplay involves tactical decisions like parrying incoming strikes and breaking an enemy’s stance to create openings for critical hits. This focus on spatial control means that being backed into a corner can lead to swift defeat, requiring players to think several moves ahead in every duel.

Relic Customization and Strategic Choices

Progression in the game is driven by “Relics,” powerful items found while exploring dungeons that define a character’s combat skills. By discovering and combining different relics, players can develop unique combat styles tailored to their preferences. The journey through Kurania is also shaped by meaningful choices, such as deciding between a fast but dangerous path and a slower, safer route. Developed by a small four-member team, the game is slated for a 2026 release and will support multiple languages, including English, Japanese, and Korean.
