About This Game


Knights of the Chalice 2 is a 2D RPG with turn-based combat for Windows and macOS. The game uses the OGL 3.5, the set of rules at the root of Dungeons & Dragons 3.5, a role-playing game from Wizards of the Coast.


Create a party of up to six adventurers and explore the village of Finchbury and the dangerous sewer complex that lurks beneath the town. You will be able to recruit eight new companions during the course of the adventure.


The characters will soon find themselves caught up in deadly conflict with a powerful group of evil worshippers, the Circle of the Black Rose. Your epic struggle for survival and justice will culminate in the retaking of Gleegold Keep from the forces of evil.

  • Turn-based, party-based tactical combat similar to that found in the RPG Dark Sun Shattered Lands made by SSI and in Troika's Temple of Elemental Evil.

  • Advanced emergent Artificial Intelligence. Enemies act as a group and support each other. They can use special actions like Grapple, Trip, Disarm, Sunder, Feint, Bull Rush, Ready Versus Spell or Swallow Whole and other tactics like taking a Five-Foot step before casting Maximised Fireball. They might use a Wind spell to dissipate the player's Acid Fog.

  • More than 700 Spells and Psionic Powers. The game also features 22 Classes, 10 Races, 36 Subraces, about 500 Feats, 41 Cleric Domains, 71 Weapon enchantments and 51 Armour and Shield enchantments. See the list of Wizard spells and the KotC 2 database webpage for details.

  • Multiple-choice dialogue options offering real choices and real in-game consequences to the player. Use your party's unique skills and consider your own preferences and playing style in order to resolve situations in the most suitable manner. Accept or decline various optional quests and join different factions with conflicting interests. Create the perfect combat-focused party, or have fun creating a party of eccentric misfits.

  • Enjoy a variety of engrossing puzzles and riddles. Use your intuition and logical thinking to decrypt mysterious coded messages. The game's cryptography interface, inspired by Broken Sword Shadow of the Templars, makes decoding a captivating activity. Do not worry about the difficulty of puzzles and riddles, though, as the game frequently provides Hints designed to help you resolve this type of challenge.

  • Play through the extensive Tutorial Adventure to learn the ins and outs of the game's interface easily. The tutorial is a unique adventure. It features multiple endings and offers a number of important choices. Create your main character and start exploring the ruins of the ancient citadel of King Valdrek. Your adventure will bring you new friends, but you may also get more than what you bargained for.

  • Experience brand new tactical challenges. Get ready for pitched battles with frequent enemy reinforcements. Some monsters will attack the party once it is divided into two subgroups. Your characters may have to fight underwater, brave the heat of a volcano, or endure the toxic fumes of a gigantic poison trap. Some particularly devious areas, called Death Snares, will tax the party's fighting ability and survival skill to its extreme limit.

  • KotC 2 Augury of Chaos allows you to create your level-1 characters and take them all the way to level 21 or so. There is no limit on character level. You can create up to six characters from scratch. In addition, you may recruit eight permanent companions during the course of the adventure, increasing your total number of party members to eight or nine by the end of the game. Temporary companions and allies will also be assisting your party from time to time.

  • User-friendly interface. Launch a charge, full-attack or coup-de-grace with a single click - the computer will automatically look for the best option available. Out of combat, move the party with a single click or by keeping the mouse button pushed. See the KotC 1 How to Play webpage for more information.
  • Omnipresent help files and clear in-game feedback on the results of each dice roll, saving throw, attack roll, modifiers and so on. A similar feature exists in Temple of Elemental Evil.

  • With the right materials and sufficient gold and experience points, craft your own weapons and armour and apply enchantments like Vorpal, Life Stealing, Wounding, Swift, Dispelling or Flaming Burst. See the complete list of enchantments for details.

  • Use the powerful integrated toolset to create new modules and campaigns easily. Easily swap monster tokens and sprites or create new ones. Create new monsters, new dialogues and new maps easily. The best modules may also generate an income stream for you thanks to the 5-5-5 User Module Offer.

  • Enjoy fast Saved-Game loading and saving and numerous game options designed to accelerate gameplay. Enjoy various convenience features, such as the Saved-Game preview image display, automatic potion and scroll distribution to the party members, Tab key press to highlight objects that may be interacted with, Inventory Screen weapon-comparison tooltip, and the highlighting of spell scrolls that may be learned by a character.

  • Thanks to its successful Kickstarter campaign, KotC 2 will receive many further improvements in the future, including new creature sprites, new feats, new items, a new iconised combat-actions menu, and more. New adventure modules will also be created.

  • Enjoy collecting 100 GOG Galaxy achievements designed to challenge the best tacticians. Easily increase the difficulty level to create a drastically different experience where each and every one of your decisions both in combat and out of combat could mean the difference between life and death. Or simply download an extensive user module, such as Dorateen's Hearkenwold, for an awesome change of pace. Get ready for hundreds of hours of immersive and delightful playtime!

Deeply personal title which reminded me

a lot about my old friend, he introduced me to d&d, he was our forever GM and each campaign he would start with a simple disclaimer I am not trying to kill you, I play rules as written, if you die it is because you were stupid. and we died...a lot...until suddenly we weren't. Brutal trap field dungeons-check Puzzles that can make you question your own mental faculties- check interesting situations and tactical challenges- check Disregard animations- oldschool plays on tokens. Allow this game to be what it is meant to be, a portal to another world fueled by your imagination. This game gave me better d&d experience than Baldur's Gate 3 or Pathfinder. This is what rpg games should always be about, discoveries, exploration, adventure... Simply the best.

Great game

First, let's address the elephant in the room : the price tag. What the right price is for an niche game that took years to develop is, is highly subjective, but 40€ is a lot more than what indie games usually go for. That being said, the game is really good, with a nice story and really good gameplay. If you're a rpg / dungeon crawler fan, chances are this game will suck you in. Hard. If you can afford it, and you like those kinda game, you should consider giving this game a chance, it's worth it.

Great combat focused RPG

Backed this on KS and loved Pierre's original title. Great 3e/3.5 (OGL) based title. Very combat focused with lots of options for character building and difficult encounters. Has 22 classes which all have unique class abilities and feat selections. Very challenging dependent on difficulty presets, so don't be afraid to start on normal.

Incredible Gameplay Depth

What Knights of the Chalice 1 and 2 do very well is to distill the complexity of the ruleset — the "more than 700 Spells and Psionic Powers" and make it approachable. All those many different things could easily be daunting, but KotC is great about having in-game explanations for everything. Tooltips in the UI and descriptions of every spell, skill, race and class. Complexity done well can make for a deep, absorbing experience, and it results in a lot of depth here. It's important to note that KotC is designed as a platform for which the game's designer — as well as other players — can make additional "modules" using the engine and graphical assets. Each module is meant as an individual adventure. The game comes with a great module, Augury of Chaos, that has engaging and awesome level design. There is already a community of players making their own modules for the game, too. You can find them in the forums on the Heroic Fantasy Games website. That is KotC 2's value proposition: you get not just one game, but a platform with which to play many more games, or even to make your own for others to play. This is probably as close as I've seen to a pen & paper RPG experience in a single-player game.

What a shame.

After the fantastic experience from the first game, I was really looking forward to this. And it failed on every level. The character classes are wildly unbalanced, and the game is WAY over-tuned, with the notion seeming to be that you're going to play only the most broken of the character options. Core characters are severely overwhelmed by niche classes from expansion books that only a trolly min-maxer would play. Gone are all animations and all charm, replaced with a bog standard display that you can find from any novice D&D project. I tried to like this.
