Buy Ara: History Untold PC key

Ara: History Untold is a historical strategy game in which you guide a nation through human history. You shape its development through choices about exploration, technology, production, expansion, diplomacy and war, with no fixed path to victory. The game combines familiar PC strategy mechanics with a national crafting economy, a non-linear technology tree and turns in which every nation’s actions resolve simultaneously.

Explore a living world

Discover resources across varied landscapes, from tropical jungles to sand-swept deserts. Citizens move through the world and react to changing conditions, including health and sickness, war and peace, and wealth and despair. Biomes, cultures and eras reflect the diversity of human experience, and you can zoom from the edges of your empire down to the daily lives of its citizens.

Build and advance

Develop your nation with improvements such as forges, libraries, citadels, cathedrals, public parks and industrial factories, as well as architectural Triumphs from around the world. Guide your people through 12 Technology Eras by choosing how to focus their minds and inventions. Near the end of each era, you decide how quickly to push toward the future, weighing that progress against the needs of the present.

Manage your economy

Harvest natural resources and assign your people’s labor through a national crafting system. You can produce Amenities, such as lavish feasts, to benefit cities and citizens, or make Equipment, including weapons, to prepare armies to defend your nation or conquer rivals. Balancing resources and production helps you pursue prosperity and keep pace with rival nations.

Lead and expand

Choose from dozens of influential historical figures to lead your nation. Leaders and nations have varied playstyles, gameplay-impacting Traits and powerful Leader Abilities drawn from their effects on history. Each Leader also has a distinct personality shaped by their historical background, which informs their AI behavior.

Expand your borders by claiming territory, conquering cities, spreading your Religion or spending Influence. How your nation grows and defines its borders is up to you.

Wage war and multiplayer

Warfare unfolds in the Living World across land, sea and air. Develop technologies to improve your weapons, build up your wartime economy and industry, and plan against rival strategies. Since maneuvers resolve simultaneously, anticipating an opponent’s next move matters in both military conflicts and the wider contest between nations.

In online multiplayer, turns resolve simultaneously, and cloud-backed play supports both synchronous and asynchronous games. A range of options lets you tailor the multiplayer experience to how you and your friends want to play.
