About the Game

To rule over the wartorn world of The Everdawn, you must carve your way through the armies of past players and defeat the immortal Fool King. Create an unstoppable army by combining unique units, potent upgrades, powerful relics, and your tactical genius to take the title of Fool King for yourself!

Plan, battle, fall, repeat! Do what it takes until your quest is complete. Once you take the throne, impose your will on other players with powerful decrees that change the rules of the realm.

Manage a host of unique units across three distinct factions, each with their own specialities and role on the battlefield.

From explosive mages and blood-thirsty barbarians, devious goblin boxlings and long-throwing catapults, to demonic brutes and cultists – each army has its own strengths and weaknesses.

The gods control unspeakable powers, and your troops can wield them. Imbue your army with their otherworldly strength and explore new, exciting synergies. Whether you rely on the putrid abilities of Bognor or the rageful might of Tân-ark, mix and match the four godly playstyles to expand your strategic possibilities with over 120 upgrades!

With the enemy in sight, put your inner general to the test. Use the terrain to your advantage over a variety of biomes, each with multiple maps. Whether it is the choke points of the Blood Swamps or the long grass of the Unclaimed Lands, each has unique features for you to exploit.

Carefully place your troops, issue your commands and watch the battle unfold! When strength is matched, planning and preparation is key to victory.

The road to the Black Citadel hosts the phantoms of players that came before. In each run, stack your skills and strategies against those who dared to try their hand at the throne. Prove yourself worthy against their forces, upgrades and tactics to succeed where they could not!

The path to the Fool King is one beset by danger and opportunities! Early Access will allow us to craft and expand upon the world and lore of The Everdawn with more gods, units, biomes and upgrades. Join us and help shape this grand journey today!
