About Asterfel:

  • A Cursed Island Shaped by Greed – Besieged by conflict, the King’s magical mines have stirred up mutant terrors, and roused an ancient God from its slumber. Nature and magic have become erratic, and dead things crawl out of their graves to wreak havoc.
  • Three Factions, A Nation Divided – Three factions rule over the divided island of Asterfel: the Crown Wardens, the rebellious Kindred, and the magical Scholars. Choose which to work with, or lend your sword to all, as you decide on your path. 
  • Let Steel And Magic Lead Your Way – An intense, in-depth combat system allows you to wield swords, bows, or magical runes to cast spells. Whether up close or afar, tackle fights your way. Mix up your play-style and upgrade your abilities to overcome the odds.
  • Choose Your Own Fate – You are a shipwreck survivor, new to Asterfel. Take on quests, align with factions, gather resources, and craft your own gear.
  • A World That Fights Back – Discover arid landscapes, dense jungles, and ancient ruins, where terrors lurk behind every corner. The further abroad you travel, the more difficult enemies become.
