Ward Off Evil
Launches 12 October 2026 · PC · RPG, Strategy
Ward Off Evil is an open world strategy RPG set in an apocalyptic sword & sorcery world. Create your character, rally an army, and roam the wastes as you battle to avert, or bring about, the end of the Cycle.
Story
As the Cycle draws to a close, the last bastion of humanity overflows with survivors loyal to their ancient empires. Each tribe envisions a new future for mankind, oblivious to the conspiracy that led them all here in the first place. Though many cling to their crumbling cities and dwindling civilizations, this dying world's fate is not set in stone. As a Guide, you can lead your army across the wastes, take on any contract, and champion any cause. Will you stand against impossible odds for the sake of all humanity, or will you abandon all hope and bring about the end times? Features: You are one of many nameless wanderers, but your destiny is far from fixed. Customize your character by choosing a tribe and a background. Develop them throughout the game by learning new active skills, passive perks, and discovering otherworldly powers. Many survivors will fight for coin, honor, or glory. Recruit units from a cast of four major factions - ambitious Lemurians, noble Thuleans, fierce Hyperboreans, and fanatical Agarthans. Complement your army with minor tribes, like the enigmatic Shu or the ethereal Atlanteans, or tame beasts and monsters native to the wastes. If all else...
