About

Fallen Lands

Features
Read full description

The kingdom of Kierstein has fallen. Six crowns burned to ash by the Sundered King โ€” and only the Fordsworn remain to take it back. Kierstein's Fallen Lands is a co-op bullet-hell ARPG where death is forever and loot is everything. Dodge storms of bullets, climb the loot ladder from rusted iron to god-tier relics, and descend a chain of dungeons toward a throne of ashes โ€” one life per hero. ONE LIFE. NO REVIVES. Permadeath is real. Every hero you lose is remembered in the graveyard; every run you survive earns fame that lasts forever. THREE OATHS. Play the Knight (shield-wall tank), the Acolyte (beams + healing), or the Wizard (glass-cannon storm) โ€” each with its own weapons, abilities and feel. A SHARED REALM. Spawn into an open overworld with everyone. A slain monster tears open a portal, and everyone who steps through fights the dungeon together. Bosses grow stronger with a full party โ€” but every one can be felled alone. LOOT WORTH DYING FOR. Tiers T0-T7 plus UT exotics that drop only from bosses. Potion your stats to the fabled 8/8. Bank your best in a permadeath-proof vault. RECLAIM THE THRONE. Walk the Reclamation back region by region - the drowned coast, the burned crowns, the frozen court, the ashland - to the Sundered Seat itself. Free to play. Playable solo or with friends. Fall alone, or stand together.
