Shelter of Exiles

Conquer, Collect, Connect! In Shelter of Exiles, you weave fabric for a story of an exile in the enigmatic realm, where you will awaken the powers dormant in the crystals holding souls of ancient legends. Stand up together and decide: Is revenge more valuable than a new home? Embody the daredevil who dared to defy the authority of the Magocrat's union and, as a result, was banished to a new, wild continent. Find refuge here, rally allies, and harness the power of ancient legends from soul crystals to attain great power. Will you use it to exact vengeance on the oppressors or leave the past behind to build a new safe haven for your people? The choice is yours.  Everyone has their battle style! Accumulate a variety of weapons, armor, and skill crystals to craft individual blends of abilities, traits, and bonuses. Find your playstyle and suit up for a challenge as you've always envisioned.

Assemble your band of exiles and engage in seasonal activities for exclusive rewards. Anticipate scalable dungeons, player-versus-player rivalry, and inter-guild battles for dominance. With victory, you'll etch your name into the game's esports annals.  Shelter of Exiles offers a remarkable continent to explore. In the vein of classic RPGs, roam and unveil new regions on the world map, partake in activities, and immerse yourself in the game's lore. Extend your influence on the continent to discover forgotten artifacts and extract precious resources.  Humans populated this continent many years ago. Now, their heritage remains hidden in ruins, inhabited by strange and unknown beings, waiting to be discovered once again. Learn their tales and decide whose side you're on in the factional competition for a new dwelling place.

On the continent, you'll find potent magic crystals entrapping the souls of past heroes who will lend you their abilities. But you aren't the only seeker. A fallen prince, the last to recall the continent's past, searches for a crown that will allow him to subdue the spirit of the emerging factions. Discord runs deep among races, but could a mutual adversary unite you?  In Shelter of Exiles, you engage foes in hexagonal arenas with real-time combat. Deploy your ability arsenal and distinctive weapons to dominate the battlefield. Tactical combat grids challenge you with terrain traps, special effects, and unique zones—utilize the land to your advantage.  Thrilling escapades can't last forever. From time to time, the adventurers need to rest. Your shelter allows you to momentarily forget destiny and grand battles, oversee your domains, or halt at the tavern to bond with friends and allies.
