12 itemsAbout the Game
Crush. Claim. Conquer
In Ashbane, you forge a mercenary guild from nothing and turn it into a force tempered by coin, steel, and hard choices. Recruit and customize hardened warriors, accept high-risk contracts, lead brutal expeditions, and build a name the world can’t ignore.
Three Campaigns, Three Loyalties
Play one of three campaigns, each with its own story, conflicts, and consequences.
Join the Oathbound, the disciplined force pushing back against the Dreadforged.
Lead the Dreadforged, outcasts returned to break the world that broke them.
Or remain Unsworn, an independent guild that works for both and answers only to profit.
Forge Your Guild
Recruit fresh blades and shape them into veterans.
Equip gear, develop attributes, and spend ability points to unlock new tools for the fight.
With 40 unique classes to build around, your roster becomes your strategy.
Upgrade your Guildhouse between contracts, and rely on campsites when the road gets long.
Take the Contract
Push into hand-built regions where routes, threats, and rewards shift with each deployment.
Procedural encounters ensure you never embark on the exact same expedition twice.
Earn renown and unlock higher-stakes jobs as your guild’s name spreads.
Choices branch, outcomes persist, and the world reacts.
Command the Battlefield
Turn-based tactical combat where positioning and timing decide everything.
Move to claim angles, control space, and set up decisive turns.
Unleash abilities that punish tight formations and swing fights in your favor.
If the fight turns, escape or surrender, because death is permanent.
Fight Together, Fight for Glory
Stand with your allies where co-op runs reward coordination, and PvP ranks the bold.
Build a warband and set out in co-op, local or online, for up to 6 players.
Enter PvP with matchmaking, challenge friends, and climb the leaderboards to prove your guild’s strength.
Built for Modding
Ashbane is built to be modder friendly.
Tweak the rules, add content, and expand the game your way.
Create new classes, traits, skills, items, expedition maps, and more.
