Wyvern is an indie, multiplayer, fantasy adventure role-playing game — a vast, hand-built world that has been alive since the late 1990s, now rebuilt from the ground up for modern iPhones and iPads. It has a retro look and feel, with old-school graphics reminiscent of classic tile-based RPGs. Despite its simple appearance, Wyvern is deep, vast and exciting. FEATURES: • Eighteen player races — humans, halflings, dwarves, nagas, pixies, lupines, vampires, three kinds of elves, four giant clans and four feline rakshasa — with 45 ready-to-play character builds • Thousands of handcrafted maps to explore: cities, castles, snowbound forts, deserts, volcanoes and haunted depths — no procedural filler; every map was built by a person • A mission journal packed with quests, and new missions added all the time • Hundreds of unique monsters and enemies to challenge you • Specialized Guilds that grant large skill bonuses: Mages, Paladins, Ninjas, Rangers, Monks and more • A rich magic system with over 150 spells and powerful magical specializations • Many trainable skills to choose from • Craft weapons, armor and potions, and trade with other players • PvP combat arenas • Random dungeons for limitless content • Personal in-game homes you can furnish and share • Adventuring groups with support roles • Strong community features: chat channels, in-game messaging, mail and more • One world, every screen: your character is also playable in a desktop browser — pick up on your phone right where you left off • Actively developed: fixes and new content ship nearly every day There is a lot to learn in Wyvern, but you will never have to learn it alone: shout, and one of the friendliest long-running communities in online gaming will answer. Players run the guilds, host seasonal events and look out for newcomers — and they keep the world welcoming and family-friendly, with the tools to show trolls the door. Played Wyvern years ago? Your world is still here. Existing accounts and characters carry straight over — your hero is waiting right where you left them. Wyvern is free to play and is not pay-to-win. Optional in-app purchases exist for convenience, but power comes from playing: your skills, your gear, your friends.

Battle creatures, collect loot, master magic, and build your very own Wizard Tower sanctuary in this rogue-lite, dungeon-crawling role playing game. The Council oversees the elam families, aristocrats who are descended from the first humans in Rilfanor, and the banlits, who were originally people born without magical abilities. The Guild has never admitted banlits because of their lack of magical capacity; and they've never admitted women because they believed women were too weak-minded to control such power. Now, many generations later, the elam magic is weakening, and latent magic talent has reappeared among the banlit population. Many of the elam are in denial, but some of them want to take the radical step of allowing banlits, including women, into the Guild. In your quest you'll explore randomly generated dungeons, collect treasures, master magic, avoid traps, solve puzzles, and of course cleanse the dungeons of all the evil minions within. Every dungeon is unique, no two locations will ever be the same. It's not all dungeon-crawl. Feel at home in your very own Wizard Tower where you can enhance and customize the way you play by building a thriving town, brewing your own reagents, crafting or buying your own gear, powering up your magic, and recruiting help.
