Ascending Realms

About the Game

Command the destiny of a world torn between science and sorcery in this strategic battle for the future of civilisation.

For centuries, the crimson banners of the Ironclad Pack and the azure standards of the Arcane Talon have flown over battlefields across multiple mystical realms. One embraces the precision of technology; the other channels the raw power of magic. Both seek dominance over a world that can no longer sustain their endless war.

Lead your faction’s elite forces in tactical combat across diverse realms and game modes. Whether you’re diving straight into battle, honing strategies in skirmishes, or waging prolonged wars of conquest, every decision shapes the fate of the realms. Each territory offers unique strategic advantages and challenges, from the open Plains of Sun to future biomes with their own distinct environments.

But beware—you are not alone in these contested lands. Ancient guardians such as Rezna the Dragon and the Primal Beasts defend their domains with terrible power, caring nothing for your faction’s grand ideologies.

Beyond traditional conquest, Ascending Realms offers experimental and replayable modes. Test your strategies in Instant Action, face off in Skirmish battles, or engage in Ascension Conquest, a rogue-like hero wave survival mode featuring meta-progression across runs. Experiment freely in Sandbox Mode, design your own battlegrounds with the Realm Builder, and personalise your kingdom with custom War Banners.

Victory is not forged by brute force alone—it is earned through adaptation, experimentation, and mastery.
