Stoneshard is a Roguelike for the PC, developed by the Russian studio Ink Stains Games (which had earlier created 12 is Better Than 6). It was funded on Kickstarter on June 16th 2018, with only an hour left before the deadline, and was later released onto Steam Early Access on February 6th, 2020.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Stoneshard is notable for functioning like a traditional roguelike, with the same sort of unforgiving simultaneous turn-based gameplay as opposed to the real-time roguelites of 2010s, yet at the same time possessing lush pixel art graphics that are a far cry from the ASCII of classics like Nethack or Angband, or even the comparatively simple tilesets later added to games like Ancient Domains of Mystery. It also has sound effects and a soundtrack that is already an hour long - again, in sharp contrast to the classics, which are normally entirely silent.The game also has a considerably more developed plot than is usual for the genre. It has a largely scripted and voice-acted prologue, which places you in the shoes of an aging mercenary Verren, who finds that a job about retrieving a Stoneshard from a supposedly abandoned abbey had suddenly involved a lot more than he bargained for. Afterwards, the player's true character is a younger mercenary under Verren's command, who'll have to untangle the growing conspiracy entanging the war-torn fantasy realm of Ardor on their own.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Anti-Armor/Armor-Piercing Attack: Two-handed weapons in general and axes in particular are a bit of both, as they both deal extra damage to worn armor, and partially bypass it due to the sheer momentum of their attacks.

comment
Armor of Invincibility: Solid plate armor gives so much protection that very few weapons in the game can do any sort of serious damage, and many can't even hurt you at all. Of course it's expensive, very heavy, and may not actually do anything against non-physical attacks (like magic) to compensate.

Apocalyptic Log: Abbot's diary pages in the prologue, which detail how the plague has spread through the abbey and turned them into vampires. The last page is blood-stained, as the early stages of the transformation consist of the blood pouring out from the pores and even from the eyes.
