The world ended centuries ago. Kingdoms crumbled, knowledge vanished, and humanity was forced to begin again among the ruins of a forgotten age. In this harsh land, iron is more valuable than gold, ancient relics hold secrets no one understands, and every settlement fights to survive. Ashborn Empires is a unique co-op RTS/RPG hybrid where two players take on distinct but interconnected roles. One commands a growing civilization through classic real-time strategy gameplay, while the other fights on the front lines as a Hero in third-person action combat. Together, you must rebuild, explore, and uncover the lost technologies of the old world. Two Roles. One Empire. Coordinate with a friend in a truly asymmetrical co-op experience. As the RTS Commander , gather resources, construct settlements, research technologies, train armies, and lead your civilization through the ages. As the Hero , explore the wilderness, battle hostile creatures and enemy warriors, recover forgotten knowledge from ancient ruins, and influence the course of every battle through skill-based combat. Build a Civilization From the Ashes Establish settlements, expand your economy, and transform a fragile community of survivors into a powerful empire. Advance through multiple ages, unlock new technologies, strengthen your military, and adapt your strategy to an ever-changing battlefield.
