About the Game

W.A.R.D is an online co-op fantasy game set in a magical world of floating islands and flying ships. You and your wizard buddies must explore a world ravaged by the calamity, perform missions for the Wizarding Anomaly Resolution Department and uncover the truth hidden by forces unseen.

Battle gravity, magical beasts and the arcane forces themselves while you perform your missions, acquire resources, upgrade your ship, and purchase equipment or enhancements for your characters.

Your world was ravaged by the calamity long before your time. Yet, curiously, it still holds many mysterious locations for you to explore. Wizarding castles, haunted by the failed experiments of its previous inhabitants, ravaged abandoned towns where only the ghosts of the past still echoes. Though seemingly deserted, they are filled with hazards you must overcome to reap the rewards and successfully perform your missions.

  • Man and pilot your ship between locations.

  • Gear up and assign roles when dealing with encounters.

Teamwork is key to your survival. Solve puzzles together and rely on your friends to save you from the dangers lurking in the locations you visit.
