On top of this, Desert Ashes offers its players special unlockable perks to customize their armies with, for example, The Fort Toughness Perk that adds 20% DEF to all allied units at a structure, and the Vampire Perk that gives players to convert 20% attack damage to HP between 10pm and 5am!

Experience also exciting single player campaigns that allows the player to experience playing as both the winged crusade and the landians.
