A strategy/action RPG. Create a character, engage in diplomacy, craft, trade and conquer new lands in a vast medieval sandbox. Raise armies to lead into battle and command and fight alongside your troops in massive real-time battles using a deep but intuitive skill-based combat system.
Players carve unique paths from penniless wanderer to potential emperor. You might start as a tournament fighter in the Aserai deserts, then gradually build a mercenary company, recruit companions, and eventually establish your own kingdom. The game drops you into Calradia with minimal guidance, allowing you to define every aspect of your character's trajectory.
The directional combat system offers unprecedented depth. Players actively control their character's weapon strikes, choosing precise angles and timing. Battles range from 50-soldier skirmishes to epic 1000-unit conflicts, where terrain like narrow mountain passes or wide river valleys dramatically influences tactical decisions. You can personally participate in battles, leading troops from first or third-person perspectives.
You develop skills through active practice: archery improves by landing shots, trading by completing merchant contracts, leadership by commanding increasingly larger armies. Each character background - whether merchant's child, noble heir, or mountain tribesman - provides unique starting advantages and narrative potential.
Diplomacy becomes a nuanced chess match. You can propose laws in your kingdom's council, spend influence to sway political decisions, arrange strategic marriages, and negotiate complex inter-clan relationships. Economic systems allow deep customization, from crafting unique weapons to establishing trade routes.
No two campaigns unfold identically. One playthrough might see you executed for treason; another could result in you becoming a legendary warlord who unites warring factions. Players report creating personal narratives that feel more compelling than scripted storylines.
While still refining mechanics, developers consistently release patches addressing player feedback. The game improves weekly, with AI behaviors, battle dynamics, and economic systems becoming progressively more sophisticated.
