Please note that Update Two is a massive overhaul and is currently available on the [beta] branch. Enter the world of Arakion, a grid-based role-playing game that pays homage to classics while adding its own style with fresh mechanics. Lead a band of three heroes through a broken land, ripped apart by unknown forces. Explore a beautiful handcrafted world filled with crumbling dungeons, dense forests, ancient temples, and hidden secrets, all while attempting to build a safe-haven from the chaos.
The Story
Play as three adventurers awoken in a world torn by conflict, where the lands and rivers have been ripped from the ground. In the midst of this upheaval, there is but one desire - finding a place free from the conflict and chaos. In the search for order, your heroes must find a way to stop the destruction from continuing.
Between your intrepid adventurers and their goal exists a council of immortal beings. They are known as
The Ancients. The Ancients wandered Arakion since before written history. Their plan is simple - utter annihilation for all who oppose them.
It's time to begin your story, will you be the world's salvation or destruction?
