Press release:

Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, March 19, 2026 – Today, the tactical roguelite RPG Valor of Man, developed by Legacy Forge and published by Numskull Games, launches on PC via Steam. Valor of Man combines tactical turn-based CRPG combat with the popular roguelite format to deliver a unique replay experience filled with meaningful choices and tactical complexity. With this 1.0 launch, the game introduces two new systems: Chaos Mode and Masteries.

In Chaos Mode, players can select from unlockable modifiers to create their own difficulty, allowing for more challenging or accessible experiences. Masteries are a collector’s dream; the menu shows players which items, abilities, conditions and artifacts they’ve successfully beaten a run with, adding a meaningful long-term measure of achievement for all skill levels.

Valor of Man focuses on strategic planning: Players assemble a group of four epic heroes, choosing from a total of twelve different classes. The success of a run depends largely on how effectively players utilize the synergies within their team. To this end, an extensive pool of over 750 spells, attacks, items, and artifacts is available, allowing the group’s abilities to be continuously developed.

To defeat powerful bosses, players must demonstrate a high degree of precision in team planning and positioning on the battlefield. A fundamental understanding of enemy behavior patterns is essential to outmaneuver them effectively at higher difficulties. The system is designed to consistently reward both individual skill and strategic foresight both during and outside of combat phases.

Key Features

Ever-evolving Roguelite gameplay – Valor of Man delivers deep roguelite replayability powered by tabletop‑inspired tactical combat with every battle unfolding on an evolving board.

From Archmage to Assassin – Players can choose from 12 dark‑fantasy‑inspired classes, supported by an even larger roster of subclasses ranging from righteous paladin to mercenary berserker.

Power fantasy is over 9000 – With more than 300 abilities, 290 items, and 170 artifacts, Valor of Man offers extensive build variety that fully supports every player’s class fantasy.

Difficult battles await – Valor of Man offers ten escalating difficulty levels, requiring an increase in player’s skill for each level and making the highest difficulty not just fun to play but an accomplishment to conquer

Fantasy-Action anywhere & anytime – Full controller support and Steam Deck compatibility is available day one.

Additional information and regular updates on Valor of Man are available on the Numskull website, Steam, as well as their social media channels, like Instagram, Facebook, X and YouTube.
