Ashen Throne is a post-apocalyptic 4X strategy MMO. The world has already ended, and one signal still calls from the Citadel, the last great city on Earth. You command a mobile fortress Crawler, rebuild an army from the ashes, and fight alongside your alliance for control of the last place worth holding. HOW IT PLAYS Drive your Crawler across a contested wasteland with no safe home base. Send squads on extraction-style raids for unbanked loot, then haul it home before rival players take it off your corpse. Nothing is yours until it is behind your walls. Battle through a continuous, round-the-clock siege over the Citadel's four districts, where whoever unites the map claims the Throne. Combat is a tactical autobattler built on a Kinetic, Electric, and Psionic counter triangle, with collectible commanders whose skills layer into real strategic reads. Bring the wrong army to the wrong fight and you feed the enemy your loot. KEY FEATURES - Extraction PvP with unbanked loot and real stakes - A 24/7 four-stage Citadel siege and alliance warfare - Collectible commanders, deep squad building, and a counter-triangle combat system - Free to play, with a deep strategic economy Drive out. Grab what you can. Don't die on the way home.
