Stonewards Wiki

Dig fast. Forge smart. Defend the King.

Stonewards throws stubborn dwarves into a first-person roguelite defense loop: mine between waves, forge upgrades, and keep the King alive. This wiki packages the systems players ask about most—before Early Access and after the demo—into deep guides, build pages, and practical checklists.

Quick start

A short path from download to your first successful bastion hold.

  1. 1

    Buy Early Access or wait for launch day

    The Steam demo went offline on 11 July 2026. Early Access launches 11 August 2026 at $9.99 USD—check price and wishlist and system requirements first.

  2. 2

    Learn the dig-forge-defend loop

    Read How to Play Stonewards and Tips and Tricks so wave timing, the four-ring limit, and King protection are clear before your first run.

  3. 3

    Pick a character and spend at the right camps

    Start with Characters, then use Camps and Stations plus the Resource Priority Checklist between waves.

  4. 4

    Vote Bonus Cards, then hold the walls

    After each wave, pick a team Bonus Card, then defend with wave defense and campfire revive plans.

  5. 5

    Track patches before you queue

    Friends must match versions. Follow Updates and the demo changelog so co-op queues do not fail on mismatch.
