Kyiv, Ukraine — June 23, 2026. Fire Sparrow Studio has opened playtest registrations for Sealbreakers, its fists-only roguelite beat ‘em up where players build an evolving martial arts moveset.
Players can sign up now via the game’s Steam page, with the first playtest build planned in the coming weeks. Press and content creators can request early access ahead of the public playtest.
In Sealbreakers, players take on the role of a knight of the Faceless Order, a disgraced brotherhood sworn to fight without weapons. Sent into a collapsing reality, they must defeat four immortal tyrants and break the Chaos Seals that hold the world together.
Rather than collecting swords or equipment, players unlock new attacks throughout each run — punches, launchers, grabs, parries, and finishers — combining them into a fighting style that evolves as they progress. Every run offers new combinations, encouraging experimentation and mastery.
The playtest build offers a substantial slice of the game's opening region. Players fight through a cursed settlement overrun by demon-possessed warriors, culminating in the first major boss encounter. Three combat disciplines are available (Electro, Fire, and space-bending Shadow).
Request playtest access and wishlist Sealbreakers on Steam.

We are Fire Sparrow Studio, a small team based in Ukraine. The three of us worked at AAA studios before going independent to make the kind of games we grew up loving. We believe it takes passion and a lot of hard work to make a good game. Sealbreakers is our first original IP. There’s still a long way ahead but we’re excited to make it, and we can’t wait for you to play it.
