Arakion: Book One

Arakion: Book One is a grid-based role-playing game in which you lead three heroes through a broken land torn apart by unknown forces. They seek a safe haven from the conflict while trying to stop the destruction. Their path leads through a handcrafted world of crumbling dungeons, dense forests, ancient temples and hidden secrets, where they face the immortal Ancients, who seek to annihilate those who oppose them.

Your heroes

You control a party of three adventurers, with a wide range of races, professions and traits shaping how they handle conflicts. The game focuses on choices rather than leveling up. Strategic combat combines quick decisions with deeper tactics, and you can recruit NPCs to join your group.

Explore and build

The grid-based gameplay includes free-look, even while moving, so you can examine the surroundings and find hidden secrets. Explore for resources to customize your heroes and build a town, choosing where to focus its development, from farming to defense. You can also rescue friendly wildlife, train it and take it into the field to fight.

Equipment is crafted rather than found. The game also includes puzzles, minigames, an optional Hardcore mode and a full day-night cycle. The story is planned to unfold across three books and multiple chapters.
