## Summary

PC Gamer highlights 10,000 Swords Against Heaven, a tabletop role-playing game by JK Saavedra, and argues that its setting and ideas would suit a videogame adaptation. The article is an enthusiastic opinion piece rather than an announcement: no videogame version has been confirmed. It matters because it draws attention to an independently made game with an unusual blend of political themes, science fantasy and Southeast Asian cultural influences.

The game is set in the post-nuclear world of Hingsajagra, where players portray Wanderers fighting a “magofascist” ruling class and the neoliberal order. Its characters use attributes including Violence, Word and Dialectics, and can join factions such as assassins, Fangshi and Sword Dialecticians. The writer compares its literary ambition to Disco Elysium, while noting its distinct regional influences, and cites inspirations ranging from Marx and Walter Benjamin to Bloodborne, Jujutsu Kaisen and The Raid.
