Divided Reigns

Divided Reigns is a story-focused game about Captain Ailfred and Lieutenant Shakar, who are exiled from their home kingdom and seek peace in a world drawn to war. Along the way, they find help from Habar and Niomi, a wandering Abeyan father and daughter who keep a secret, and meet Celeste, a fencer and the daughter of one of the richest men in Kairon. They also need the help of Gall, a monk who hates Ailfred for his part in the destruction of Gall’s homeland. The main story takes over 70 hours to complete.

Story and characters

There are nine main playable characters, each with a distinct personality, motives and a story arc that develops throughout the game. Their arcs test who they are, and each character brings different strategic tools for facing difficult enemies. The game also includes side quests and secrets to discover.

Strategic battles

The battle system is built around choosing attacks that exploit enemy weaknesses. Weapons determine the attack types available to their wielder, and you can change weapons during battle—for example, switching from a greatsword to a crossbow when an enemy is weak to ranged attacks. Use enemy art to judge which of the eight attack types may work best: thrust attacks may be ineffective against a steel breastplate, while side or trip attacks might succeed. The game also includes regular calendar events with rewards available only during those events.

Equipment and exploration

You can equip your team with a wide range of gear to prepare for different enemies, and explore to find side quests and secrets.
