About the Game

Two decades ago, your adoptive father prevented the end of the world, but the deeds of his adventuring party were pushed to the side and forgotten. Now, that which threatened us is stirring once again, and it's your turn to combat it. Travel freely in the empire of Asterna and the islands surrounding it, seek power and allies, and prevent the next coming of a world-ending Calamity.

Features:

  • Build your characters by mastering and switching between over 20 classes, learn more than 150 active and passive skills, use several hundred items and pieces of equipment.

  • Find, recruit, and get to know more than 15 companions to form your party.

  • Freedom to do what you want as you prepare for the final battle: no mandatory quests, no specific order of story events you must see, no hand-holding. Pick a side in a civil war, fight in an arena, hunt monsters, make money by trading - whatever gets you what you need is a valid way to play.

  • Turn-based combat at your own pace; no need to hurry to make decisions, no long waits as animations play or you transfer to and from combat.

  • Graphics, gameplay, and music reminiscent of early 90's role-playing games.

Now also includes The Forgotten Spire expansion:

  • New post-game story and dungeons.

  • New quests and bounties.

  • 6 new Ascended Classes with their own skills.

  • More than 70 new pieces of equipment to further tweak your character builds.
