The Old War is a dark fantasy co-op strategy game where your army remembers. Train persistent units, build a city from the ashes, and lead your people through a world consumed by the mysts. Every victory makes you stronger. Every defeat is a devastating blow.

Your soldiers are not disposable. They stay with you from battle to battle, growing stronger, gaining scars, and becoming legends... or forgotten names. Every loss is permanent. Every victory is earned. Train them, equip them, and watch them evolve from raw conscripts into heroes who can turn the tide.
Choose how you rule. Be a master administrator and build an empire of industry. Dominate the battlefield through brute force and tactical genius. Or harness the chaos itself with spectacular magical powers. Your leadership style shapes your city, your army, and your story.
Build a thriving settlement from nothing. Develop resources, research technologies, and put your people to work. Invest in better training grounds, stronger walls, and the infrastructure needed to survive a world that wants you dead.
Ages ago, the mysts descended like the vengeance of a forgotten god. Cities vanished. Armies were swallowed whole. The land was scorched and left to rot.Now the fog has lifted. What remains is worse: twisted forests, vile monsters, and the silence of empty settlements. You are one of the few leaders who survived. Reclaim what was lost. Or die trying.

The old world left more than ruins behind. Clans, creatures, and strange settlements have survived the onslaught. Ally with them, trade for resources, or wipe them off the map. How you deal with neutral factions is up to you.
Follow the main questline to reclaim each territory, or pursue side quests to bolster your forces. Sabotage enemy supplies, befriend local towns, or kick down the front door. The choice is yours in how you defeat your foes.
The world beyond the mysts is waiting. Add The Old War to your wishlist and be the first to know when the fog lifts.
