A Leader is Wanted: Destiny’s Sword Lands on Early Access

You have already been the hero. Now is the time to be the leader.

You know the drill: start a campaign and kick off the first mission. You’re ordered to take your team of peacekeeping soldiers and handle a series of riots as cleanly as possible, without any civilian casualties. But when the action starts, everything goes sideways and now you must decide whether to shoot or talk your way to get back in one piece.
Sometimes the worst wounds are not visible – surviving the mission is only the first challenge. In Destiny’s Sword you manage your team through the highs and lows of combat, making sure your troops are in the right frame of mind to bring peace to the planet Cypris.
Destiny’s Sword is a living, graphic adventure with rich narrative gameplay in which empathy is your most powerful tool.
“The living-narrative gameplay of Destiny’s Sword means your actions don’t just affect the story, they affect your team emotionally. As their leader, you have to get to know them–find their strengths, help them overcome their weaknesses, and support them through difficult situations in order to accomplish your goals.”, describes Ken Hall, the creative director of Destiny's Sword.
The story is written by New York Times bestselling author M. D. Cooper, and the studio has been consulting with psychologists and war veterans to make sure the characters’ personalities and reactions are realistic and respectful.
The studio behind Destiny’s Sword is 2Dogs Games from Ontario, Canada. The studio is run by long-time game industry veterans, who all share a passion for deep, story-rich adventures and sci-fi.
The game is fully feature-complete, but will receive new content and new chapters in the full release in Spring, 2023. “Including the player community and their feedback in the story’s evolution is very exciting for us. The story is a living one, so this is the perfect opportunity to let our fans jump into the development process from the first steps onward”, says Sami Mikkola from the game’s publishers, Bonus Stage Publishing.

Destiny’s Sword is a graphic sci-fi adventure with RPG progression and rich narrative gameplay

NEW BUILD is Live! + Exploring Character Personalities in Destiny's Sword
Hey folx! We've just released the new build of our demo! Check it out and let us know what you think! For a more in-depth look at the character diversity in Destiny's Sword we've also released a new video exploring our Insight Engine and how personalities are created (see below).
Hey folx! We've just released the new build of our demo! Check it out and let us know what you think!
For a more in-depth look at the character diversity in Destiny's Sword we've also released a new video exploring our Insight Engine and how personalities are created (see below). From battlefield to bunks, Engineering Bay to Medical, every event the NPC DS-Trooper experiences impacts how they behave going forward, allowing us an infinite number of unique NPCs. If you have not signed up to make your own unique DS-Trooper click here!
Judgement calls and last minute victories are not exclusive to the battlefield, Destiny's Sword puts the lives and well being of your troops in your hands, whether you are planning the next battle strategy or forming a team of highly skilled medical officers, each choice will have a lasting impact.
Watch on YouTube
We believe that your choices should have long lasting, dynamic impacts within the game world.
Your Troopers can have one of three specializations, each one matches a core element of the game:

Combat Troopers are most often found on the battlefield, either going head to head for resource control, or holding the backline as the first line of defense. As the commander your job is to assemble and operate the right team for the job. Your choices before, during, and after each engagement counts.
Medical Troopers are there to catch you when you fall, that is to say when something doesn’t go to plan, troops do go to Medical. Bandaging a cut, setting a broken bone, it takes a team to save a life. In Destiny Sword that team is there for your entire guild, you will need the right skills and preparation if you plan to keep your Troops for the long haul.
Engineer Troopers are there to make sure you never need that trip to Medical. Whether it is developing new upgrades for the entire guild, or salvaging mechs for the battlefield, Engineers are at the ready to provide the tools needed to get the job done right. Customize your specializations to build a squad as unique as your combat strategy.
The mixture of Infinite Dynamic NPCs personalities gives Destiny’s Sword a living narrative that will be unique for every player, every time. Every choice, and every lesson in the game will leave a mark on your experience. Our Steam Wishlisters are invited to Create a Character and we will add their character to the next phase of the game! We hope you will help us make every NPC as unique as possible!
Thanks for joining us on the journey!
