Survival Roguelike BARDA launches today in Steam Early Access
Independent studio Mudita Games had released BARDA in Early Access on Steam today as part of the TurnBasedThursdayFest 2026.
BARDA is a chaotic inventory survival roguelike where keeping your backpack organized is the key to staying alive. Instead of focusing on combat the game challenges players to climb an ever-changing mountain by carefully managing the items they carry.
Players attempt to reach the summit to scatter their late grandfather’s ashes while dealing with survival conditions such as hunger, fatigue, and madness. In BARDA, these conditions are not simple meters — they physically appear inside the backpack disrupting the inventory players rely on to survive.
Each run takes players through procedurally generated zones filled with items, obstacles, and difficult decisions about what to keep or discard.
BARDA is available now in Early Access on Steam.
