Steamgifts dungeon-crawling adventures go on!


I would like to invite you - once again - to the world of exciting and kind-of-old-school dungeon-crawling adventures, full of exploration, dangerous monsters, traps and, of course, treasures!


For those who are not familiar with Game of sWords at all - it is a free browser dungeon-crawling RPG game made with love specially for SteamGifts users by a shameful poor leech (myself) as a gift and my way to give back to this community. Game of sWords consists of quests which start periodically (in periods between 2 weeks and a month), in each of which you have to explore huge dungeons while upgrading your hero, fighting monsters, finding new items and treasures and interacting with other players in different ways!


Here is the topic of the previous quest.

Here is the topic of the third Game of sWords.

Here is the topic of the second Game of sWords.

And here is the topic of the first one, which started back in November last year.


If you took part in previous quest, you might want to check out the list of changes made to improve the game in multiple aspects


Treasures in Game of sWords are SteamGifts giveaways - you find some of them throughout the adventure and, by completing a quest, get access to all giveaways contributed for the event!

By contributing giveaways for Game of sWords events you get sWords Coins which you can spend in sWords Market to get some items and artifacts that will help you improve your progress and thus increase your chances to get access to all contributed giveaways! Moreover, you'll get lots of positive emotions when happy people will find your treasures in the Game :)

Any contributions are highly appreciated (dungeons are great when they are filled with treasures! :) ), but, of course, voluntary - everyone is welcome to play and enjoy the Game and everyone has a chance to win, regardless on whether you will or will not make a contribution. Contributors, naturally, will have higher chances to win, but overall, success will be determined by your strategy, attention and time management. Besides, the winners' limit has always been higher than number of contributors.

Each quest lasts up to 1 week.

You can find something to read, including tips on strategy, information on the basics of the game, and even the story of the kingdom of sWords, in sWords Library.

You can also join the Steam group where I inform followers about my plans and upcoming updates.


The registration and contribution period begins now and will last until the start of the event at 16:00 GMT next Saturday (15th of October)!

This is when you can register for the upcoming quest with a preferrable class (there are 3 of them - each is unique and has its own winners' limit. Keep in mind that you won't be able to change a chosen class later), contribute your giveaway(s) for the event, get your Coins reward and spend it on something useful in the Market to start the adventure confidently :)


The amount of Coins you get as a reward depends on several factors:

  • game being bundled on SG;
  • game price in Steam (with current discounts);
  • game rating in Steam.

You can register for a quest and contribute giveaway(s) here.

You will get your sWords Coins once the giveaway is checked and approved - make sure to read the rules carefully!

You can access the Market once you register for an event.


Let's see how many treasures we can collect this time! :)

Just a quick note: I do not enter any of the giveaways provided for the Game of sWords. The Game is made for your fun and enjoyment (not that I don't have a lot of fun during each event myself, but you are the ones who'll get to explore uncharted dungeons :) ).

I have used all 3 classes against the dragon, but with the changes last game, it will be something different this time.

This time I chose to be a thief. And I will avenge myself of all the stolen gold to my barbarian.

Shall I stick to my fav mage class (but as I don't play offensively I will prolly not get into the winners list) or choose a different class... Decision, decisions ;)

All classes are great! I would suggest to try them all :)

I did try something else when you could change the class after you beat the game previously. But I always choose mage-like classes in game. Well, mostly :D

Well, it's a good decision to stick with the class that suits you best :) And everyone loves magic! Even thieves and barbarians often envy the mages :p

Can I look at complete list of GAs that were available to winners in previous quest if they all ended? I'd like to know what I missed. And it'll motivate me to contribute GAs for this one.

Not all of them have finished yet, some will still be running for a few more days. There were 52 treasures in the first quest, mostly bundled games, but there were some very nice unbundled ones as well, like, for example, Black Ops 2. Each giveaway has ~20 entries on average.

Any HOGs? xD I don't mind if bundled.

I found one HOG as a consolation price so maybe my question should be - how many HOG games ;)

There were at least a couple, don't have much time now to count how many exactly :p Are you a fan of those? :)

Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Yes, a big fan :D And not a big fan of competitive play, like taking souls of other poor adventurers ;) Are there any changes in these special abilities?

7 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Well, they are still there, but each adventurer's soul, heart and scalp can only be stolen once during the quest, so they won't suffer as much as they did (growing a new heart and getting it stolen again, you know) :) Plus the resurrection time is relatively short now - 1 hour instead of 3 hours as it used to be in the first quest.

I understand. It's just I really don't like those quests and the fact you can kill other adventurers. I'm not saying you should change it as I suppose others enjoy it but I do not use those skills and thus I'm weaker :)

You should do fine without using the third ability, it doesn't give a huge advantage anyway ;)

I thought the soul was giving extra Wizardry points?

It increases Wizardry by 50% for 5 battles (affecting Magic Attack and Defence, but not access to scrolls).

I'll as always be a sly thief, but I hope the barbarians won't make me cr*p my pants with their roar every 5 minutes like in the first heart quest รง_รง

Weeell, you will be safe for some time at the beginning until they aquire this ability. Make sure to use this time to run as far away from them as possible :p

That's the issue for me (and you I suppose, but you don't actually play ;)) - the game starts quite late for me and it means I can only do a few moves then go to sleep - and people steal from me, demoralize me and what not hehe.

Hi, I have a few questions:
Can I buy/use only one ring from Market?
What about creating giveaway for several copies of game: should I create several giveaways for 1 copy each?

7 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Hey PraX!
You can buy all the rings in the Market, their effects will stack up.
You can make a giveaway with multiple copies, I will manually give you extra coins for those extra copies.
