Cozy game designed TO PLAY WITH FRIENDS. yet there is no quest sync or party system for the hundreds of quests thats in the game. a Co-op game without the most basic Co-op features. Played with friends and we lost track of eachothers progress within the first hour. The Gameplay is ok, artstyle is quite nice and it runs well on steamdeck. Combat is also decent, but progression is kinda annoying with a bit of back and …

A true hidden gem. I havent completed the game yet. Playing on hero (hard), ocasionally with a couple friends. Pros: -No game breaking bugs, only have had to unstuck twice. -Classless level system where your gear determines class. -Crafting that is rewarding but not nessacary unless you want to 100% the game (needed for certain side quests). -Bosses that are challenging yet beatable once you learn the mechanics. …

Very underrated gem of a game! If looking for a casual or comfy game with exploring, secrets, farming, crafting, combat, house decorating and much more then check this game out! Game is actively being worked on and improved! I really enjoy the game solo but it really shines when I get to play with my friends!

This game is a true diamond in the rough. I got the game ages ago and let it sit in my library for a while until my girlfriend and I were looking for a "cutetsy" game to play and I stumbled upon it scrolling through my library. Loaded in and tested out the tutorial to show her and she liked it so I got it for her and we started playing. This game has been nothing short of astounding at how well everything has been …

Cute and I want to like it, but it is very clumsy, it feels very alpha WRT interactions, fighting, first/3rd person camera. The aiming while fighting is often "off". It has potential -- I think fixing a few of these frustrations could make it a good game. I will check back again in a year. PS - I know my review is not "positive" but I'm trying to be considerate of the Solo Developer and of the fact that I have not …

92% of the 184 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Swords 'n Magic and Stuff. The complaint that keeps coming up: clumsy combat and camera controls. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the idea of the game and that they allow players to post suggested content changes / quality of life adjustments. On to the reason it's a thumbs down for me. I've come back to this game a few times over the years hoping that some of the updates would make things better, but it seems like Kindred Games is focused on finishing the story or adding major content updates while ignoring the issues (not the game breaking ones) they've had since the beginning. Great game overall, but as it's…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am very sorry to say i will not be recommending this game to others at this time. I want to like the game but currently the progression is, at least in my opinion complete and utter crap. There is no non cosmetic armor in the game. Unless you count the Bee keeper outfit witch makes you immune to bee stings when popping hives. There is a trinket/amulet slot but so far any change has been so minor its not worth mentioning. The casting feels sluggish and weak. My friend just did parry warrior…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the free demo before getting this game. My husband and I liked it. We felt that it had a lot of potential and we hoped that we could see this game become more. When we got the full version we had no idea just how much was already in the game. In the demo you are kept to a small island. In the full version you are able to go to another island nearby. AND THEN THERE IS THE MAIN LAND. It was like a tutorial part two. We didn't really feel like we knew the game until we got past the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Relaxing to play and explore. Developers are working towards finishing. Holiday events are fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm normally jumping right in after my first session or two, ready to write a review. This one took some more time to gather my thoughts and see what was up with the game. It's a qualified yes. Does your wife/signifant other like cutesey little "sim life" adventure games? Want to play something with the kids, or maybe just let the kids play on their own? Here you go, then. It's a fair bit like Minecraft, with very little world modification, much nicer graphics, and far superior…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →combat is boring, most quests are fetch quests and the combat quests are no better. There is no fast travel and it takes forever to get anywhere even after you have a horse. Boring empty game overall.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Swords 'n Magic and Stuff, developed and published by Kindred Games, is a relaxed open-world RPG that prioritizes freedom, exploration, and player-driven experiences over rigid structure or high-stakes progression. Set in the vibrant land of Tirawyn, the game invites you to carve out your own path, whether that means following a loose main quest, diving into side activities, or simply wandering the world in search of hidden secrets. It presents itself less as a traditional narrative-driven…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really really great game. You can tell that the developers have a lot of passion for this project. Regular updates. a community that's engaged and helpful, A very active and helpful discord. I've had a lot of fun playing this. Lots of areas to explore. Lots of quests. Interesting characters and bosses. I cannot recommend this game enough and really think you should give this game a shot. You will not be disappointed!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love the game. Devs are super active and cute. Bosses are too strong to me. I just want my hair showing while wearing a hat
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely expected more for a $25 game, play about 10 hours straight before I lost interest. It also looks like the project has been abandoned or knocked WAY down on the priority list.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Games cool as hell little bit animal crossing, little bit old school zelda, little bit wobbly life. its a good mix.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has a lot going for it and not a lot of attention. Solo dev slowly making their way through a checklist of features and content. Features: a large open world, crafting, mount/pets, skill leveling, random loot, in-game seasonal events, secret quests and boss fights
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The fact that I have put over six hundred hours into a game that's still in early access should speak for itself. But if it doesn't, Swords n' Magic and Stuff is a very fun RPG with cute, coherent visual design, some genuinely funny writing, and a balance of accessibility and focus on player exploration. There's enough diversity in the existing elements to keep you busy for a while (as my playtime will attest) while also hinting at the truly impressive scope planned for 1.0. Even if the game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes, it feels like the early access that it is. Yes, the fact that this is an indie/solo dev makes me question what AAA is doing with their time because this is better than their slop. Yes, I will continue to play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was just was I was looking for. I signed in and immediately was drawn in by all the cute graphics and missions, building, and crafting to accomplish. I've been spending 6 hours plus a day on it and time is flying and it is bringing me relaxing and happiness.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting and fun games for people like me who enjoy MMO. Pro: Almost everything is fun, exploring,gathering,housing etc etc Cons: I would like to see some abilities linked to each weapon but i could settle for at least a heavy attack for each weapon. Would make combat more enjoyable in the long term.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute gem. I hope the developers continue working on this game and making it even better. I highly recommend it if you enjoy games of this genre.

neutral · AI labelView post →It is a very cosy game with lots of jump riddles and places to search for secrets. The comunity is nice and helpful the admins and programmer are very activ on Discord. Its still early access and its already a realy good game, i am very curios what will be implementet for now im waiting for the next update i think it will improof the game even further
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Although it's impressive that the dev has been working on making this a masterpiece since 2020, as an early kickstarter backer i get frustrated with each major update that compels me to start over again and again and again. All the missions, all the dialogue. It's just an absolute non-starter. If you're contemplating getting this, just hold off. Kindred Games, i'm so sorry I have to give this a thumbsdown but it's not a cozy game anymore - it's just grindy and repetitive. I'm proud to have…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The art style might not be for everyone but i believe the gameplay would justify it a very fun coop game to play with your friends, exploration, secret quests, puzzles to be solved, farming, huge accessories from hats to clothes, crafting. overoll its an amazing game even though i feel the combat could be more complex but keep in mind its an indie game and still on early access more could come. one thing for certain this game is made with a lot of love from the developer
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The world of Swords 'n Magic has such charm and warmth, it's endearing one moment and deadly the next. Game play is fun, the music and atmosphere never get's stale. The tool and weapon presets are a nice touch. It's a really great game everyone should try.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game has a nice balance of adventuring, harvesting resources, and crafting that doesn't feel overburdening and grindy. Adding on the secret quests, hidden lore, and puzzles, this game will have you questioning every NPC and combing new areas as you encounter moments of ,"oOooOoO", and "No way!!". 10/10 Would recommend to anyone looking for something new to delve into.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game really flew under my radar for HOW LONG?! It's so fun! Kind of like a cross between Animal Crossing and Legend of Zelda. Seamless multiplayer that my fiance and I have been having a blast with. Exploration, combat, cosmetic dress up, gathering, crafting, quests. This game ticks all the good boxes. Controls are pretty tight, gameplay is solid, and I love the feeling of discovering new things in the open world. Nothing but good things to say about this so far. Do yourself a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You know when a single dev makes a game better than most multi millionaire game studios thats what this game is. It’s not a masterpiece but its really enjoyable and fun for what it is!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →for a game that is supposed to be about magical world and has magic in its name the magic is boring, honestly im already not feeling any excitement to continue playing, personally i find the quest rewards to not be very exciting most of them are just gold and the magic to be boring to use, i like the style, exploration and areas

positive · AI labelView post →This game is fun with Friends! We love it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Swords 'n Magic and Stuff is an exceptionally deep and complex game presented through an invitingly adorable art style. My brother and I were looking for a solid co-op campaign game with online multiplayer and this hits the spot perfectly. Hidden secrets, RPG leveling mechanics, and interesting lore. This game has surprised me consistently and I'm thoroughly impressed with what the development team has created. The demo is limited, but it provides a fantastic glimpse into the early game.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this game on launch, played for a bit and put it down due to life getting busy. Recently picked it back up again and man I am hooked, questing is fun, crafting and gathering is enjoyable, there's plenty of variety in weapons and builds (currently running a shield/mage staff combo that is very fun) and housing! The housing system has to be one of my favorites and I know I can always return to my little cottage on the island. Not tried out multiplayer yet, but I think it will be a lot of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hidden Gem Status!! This game is so much fun with a friend. The exploration is rewarding and there is a abundance of content to be played. Not to mention mini holiday worlds and events. Very charming <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I absolutely recommend this game to anyone looking for adventure. With farming elements and copious quests (many of which are secret and incredibly rewarding to discover) this game has it all. From unique mounts to plots of land to create things of your wildest dreams. All of this before even mentioning the amazing community this game has. From a developer who cares about his player base and frequently interacts and joins events - to other players who help new players discover secrets and learn…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple fun Coop game. Like a middle between Trove and Skyrim if that makes any sense. I keep wanting to go play some more fancy games, but this one keeps pulling me back!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →100% recommend this. Its genuinly such a lovely game and Im so glad I gave it a go. If youre unsure try the demo, but it doesnt do the game justice as there is SO MUCH MORE, but its definately enough to get a feel of the game. Movement and controls are usually fundamental for me when it comes to games and if I'll enjoy them or not, and Swords'n Magic does it very well (IMO ofc), love the double jump and dodge roll x) Maybe people are tired of this comparison but THIS is what cubeworld…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have to give this game a 9/10. It has a vibrant, colorful world to wander and explore, filled with quests, puzzles, items to discover, combat to master and wonderfully simple built-in multiplayer. And it's *adorably cute*. There is a great amount of character customization both cosmetically and skill/combat wise, and there are no locked classes or skills, anyone can be any combination of anything they choose to practice! There are also no consequences for player death, which makes this…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Old school style with modern pacing! This is the first game I've seen quite like itself... imagain an MMO world but for only you and your friends. Thats what this is... a... MO-rpg of you will. Multiplayer online... but no 'massively' Like.. cutesy skyrim with multiplayer? This game blends some of the best elements of old and modern RPGs. Quests are a good mix of short fetch quests and more involved, globe-trotting adventures! With Puzzles and boss fights sprinkled in! It leans closer to the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked the game and it is captivating... But needs direction or it will go stale. This probably does not tell you much so I'll elaborate. The game is an open world island exploration (as far as I've seen) with hand crafted locations, characters and quests. You jump and find chests, obtain loot or craft it by gathering resources (mind you, it is mostly weapons, as the clothing is purely cosmetic and does not influence the character). You can build a house (on specific land plots) and furnish…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's a lot of fun to be had here. If the whole game was just the starting island it'd still be worth it. Building a house, smacking a necromancer in the face and getting a pet crab who fights in your name. The loadout system especially is worth trying out by itself. Being able to switch between a sword and board build to magic to mining loadouts with a button press reduces the tediousness of a lot of other games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not quite there yet, got bored super quickly, definitely need the Skill Trees to spice up the combat. Other than that, I like the artstyle. Will just leave as recommended and check back later.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super cute RPG that's really fun to spend time in and has a lot of heart. I've been playing it off and on for the past several years and definitely recommend it whether you're looking for something to play alone or with friends.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My 2 hours of game play: (my only issues with this game is how save works) Frankly I never got to any of the stuff they show on the store page. I was stuck in the beginner areas. Finally emerged out of the beginner mines 30 minutes later into the the beginner area. Wandered around, not knowing where I was going, had to leave. No option to save game. Figured it just auto saved on exit. Nope. No option to load game either. Lost 1.5 hours because the dev didn't put in a save feature that I as…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's goofy, cozy, and doesn't hold your hand to explore all the hidden quests or things you can do. Adore it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is awesome. I can already tell how much time I'll be spending playing, and decorating my home. I really hope more content will be released in the future.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is genuinely amazing. Lots of interesting movement mechanics, funny dialogue and a beautiful stylized world to engage with. Well worth the price of admission. Get it if you're a fan of classic RPGs focused on player progression. In this game, adventure is the most important aspect.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've only played a handful of hours. but damn is this game the best chillness you could want. Positive: - It starts off simple but you really feel like you can get powerful stuff and master the combat - Many many secrets and cool stuff to find - art style is simple but gorgeous - House building - Great to play with your kids or group of friends. Negatives: - I want more

neutral · AI labelView post →Things respawn to quickly, tools should be automatic not needed to be placed in a loadout and several other things that just feels inconvenient. It is a nice aesthetic, it is a cute game however it is inconvenient and tedious. Also if you are in early access name your versions beginning with a zero, anything else is unacceptable.

I'm shocked I haven't come across this in the Steam store before?! Tried the demo and purchased the full game quickly + supporter pack! Runs exquisitely, even on my ancient PC on the highest graphics. Very, very little bugs (only encountered 3 in 50+ hrs), and none game-breaking. If you love exploration and adventure, but aren't super into survival games…
