Raven Tower

Raven Tower is an online dark fantasy RPG set in Val'Gard, a city built beneath a tower that no one has fully conquered. You arrive with nothing but a name and build a character whose reputation grows over time. The fog steals your character’s memories of who they were before reaching the first floor; who they become is up to you.

Val'Gard and the tower

The world includes the city beneath the tower, a crypt under its streets, roads lost in fog and the tower itself. Its 150 floors grow darker as you climb.

Build your character

Choose one of five races and a class that defines how you fight. Levels, quests, gear, runes and the forge all help develop your character. At the forge, you harden equipment, while runes provide lasting bonuses.

Combat and expeditions

In PvE, you take on expeditions, the crypt and tower floors guarded by enemies. In PvP, you fight other players in the arena for gold and a place in the season. During a fight, you decide whether to press on, heal, sell what you found or return to the market. Attacks, defense, gear and decisions made mid-fight all matter.

Camp and community

At the Camp under the Tower, you build a forge, a palisade and a kennel. Animals fight alongside you, and a brotherhood gives you others to climb with. Players gather at the tavern, while the merchant, alchemist and collector each seek different things from what you bring back.

Gold and trading

You earn gold through combat, watch duty and trade. Loot can go to your character, your vault, the market or the auction house, where other players set prices. PSS is a separate, optional shop currency; entering the game, fighting and climbing the tower are not locked behind a paywall.

A continuing game

An expedition or arena fight takes minutes, while developing a character, camp and serious attempt at the tower takes weeks and seasons. The game is designed for repeated visits, with watch duty, mail, the bank and the next floor to return to, rather than a campaign with end credits.
