About the Game

Step into a fantasy world rooted in the myths and spirits of Yoruba, Candomblé, and the wider Afro-Brazilian tradition. Crowned Sun is a 3D isometric MMORPG that draws on the warmth and craft of classic online RPGs like Ragnarok Online, Tree of Savior, and Final Fantasy XIV — and gives them a setting almost no other game has dared to.

You arrive in Aruanda as one of four peoples — Human, Iwin, Egbere, or Ere — each with their own myth, identity, and feel in combat. Build your hero across two parallel tracks: a Base Level that grows as you adventure, and a Job Level that defines the path you walk. Train your skills in the plazas of Ifadun — the city many call the Mirage Kingdom — hunt through forests and ruins under a sun crowned in legend, and find your place in a community built around the orixás.

Crowned Sun is a love letter to the MMOs that shaped a generation — and a celebration of stories that fantasy rarely gets to tell.

Key Features

  • Afro-Brazilian fantasy world. Locations, races, and lore inspired by Yoruba mythology, the orixás, and Brazilian folklore — built with care, not exoticism.
  • Four playable peoples. Choose between Human (versatile, resilient), Iwin (forest-touched spirits), Egbere (shadow-bound damage dealers who trade defense for raw power), and Ere (childlike spirits with their own twist).
  • Classic dual-leveling. Earn Base Levels through adventure and Job Levels through your chosen class — the deep, layered progression that made Ragnarok Online and Tree of Savior unforgettable.
  • A living world of MMO systems. Parties, guilds, friends lists, pets, mercenaries, mounts, instanced Spirit Trials, large-scale Spirit War battles, mail, achievements, daily login rewards, and a Party Finder to bring it all together.
  • Orisha Echoes. A homage to the orixás and their forces, woven into the systems and progression of the world.
  • 3D isometric art with handcrafted heart. Cel-shaded characters, lush biomes, stone shrines wrapped in greenery, and a soundtrack drawn from the rhythms of the diaspora.
  • Cross-platform. Windows, macOS, and Linux/SteamOS support — bring the kingdom with you.

The World of Aruanda

A land of carved stone, sun temples, and woven prophecy. Towns hum with conversation; the wilderness hums with something older. Every quest is a thread, every region a story, and every orixá a memory you can find your way back to.

Who It's For

If you grew up on Ragnarok Online or Tree of Savior, if you spent late nights in classic Final Fantasy XIV cities, if you've ever wished a fantasy MMO would look beyond the same European myths — Crowned Sun is being made for you.
