About the Game

ANCHOR'S LAMENT

Is a multiplayer roguelike strategy game, where you as your own captain travel the thousands seas to find glory! On your way you gather a crew of exotic animals and creatures that will help you fight other captain's that stand in your way. In this world, all life is sentient.

Collect Nautical Units and place them in a 2x4 grid! 

Position units with multiple unique abilities to synergies and trigger each other!

Equip them with items! 

Enchant Grid slots!

Fight against real players asynchronically! No wait queues only domination!

Our goal is that every other month we release a new season with new units, new events and new mechanics. Each new season will drastically change the gameplay. But as the old season rotates out, don't worry, you can still play it in our CHAOS MODE, where any player may choose any season to play against other players with the same rules. Everyone can keep playing their favorite builds for ever!
