Tarnix is a mobile action RPG (ARPG) about loot, built as a roguelike: you play it one-thumbed, in portrait, and a run fits into a spare moment. Solo play works fully offline, wherever you are. Dive floor by floor, hack and slash your way through enemies, pick up what they drop and decide on the fly what to keep. Every death sends you back to the start, but never empty-handed: your gear, talents and oaths stay with you, so each new run starts stronger than the last. ONE RUN, ONE SPARE MOMENT One-thumb controls. Auto-aim, so you watch the fight instead of your fingers. No half-hour tutorials: you learn by playing. LOOT THAT MATTERS Weapons that change how you fight, not just how hard you hit: chains, bows, shotguns, orbs, pikes, boomerangs and flamethrowers. Gear with rarities, stars and powers of its own. Sets to complete, and legendaries that break one rule of the game at a price. A REAL CAMPAIGN Ten worlds, each with its own ending, three difficulty tiers and a talent tree where every branch plays differently. At the very end waits a title that only those who finish get to keep, and 34 achievements along the way. TWO, THREE OR FOUR PLAYERS Local co-op over wifi: play with whoever is next to you on the same network, no sign-up needed. Each player needs their own device. TESTING GROUNDS A separate arena to measure your real damage against a boss or a pack, swap a piece of gear and measure again. The same tool we use to balance the game, open to you. OFFLINE, AND YOUR PROGRESS SAFE Solo play needs no internet or wifi; co-op only needs everyone on the same network. If you like, sign in with Apple or Google and your progress is saved in the cloud: delete the game or change phones and it comes back with you. It is optional: without an account the game plays the same, and you can delete your account at any time from Settings.

Avenfell

Read full description

Your world. Your skills. Your next adventure. Step into Avenfell, a shared 3D fantasy world of challenging hunts, meaningful skill progression, full-loot PvP and homes built by players. Meet at the depot in Avenport, train with a friend, then set sail for your next hunting ground. TRAIN TOGETHER. GROW STRONGER. Your character level is only part of your strength. Develop your weapon, distance, shielding and magic skills through play. Invite a friend to practise with your equipped weapons and spells in an agreed training session. Higher skills make a difference in combat: the time you spend training becomes power you can feel on your next hunt. FOUR VOCATIONS. YOUR OWN PATH. Become a Knight, Paladin, Sorcerer or Druid, each with its own combat style and spells. Unlock abilities as you progress. A guided beginning introduces your vocation, talking to NPCs, fighting and earning gold through fishing. Create several characters on one account, with your choice of appearance. CAST A LINE. GROW YOUR SKILL. Buy a fishing rod and fish from shore near suitable water, or cast from a boat with friends. Raise your Fishing skill to improve your chances of larger catches and more valuable fish. Sell your catch at the fishing merchant and put the gold toward ammunition, potions or your next adventure. YOUR BOAT. BRING YOUR FRIENDS. Own a boat, invite companions aboard and explore islands and hunting grounds together. Visit the harbor to buy boats or book a voyage. Sail to a suitable shoreline, anchor and go ashore. Your boat's map marker helps you find your way back. Make it a fishing trip, a hunting expedition or an afternoon of exploration. WEAR THE STORY YOU EARN. Mix armour, headgear, legwear, boots and compatible shields. Your equipment changes both your abilities and your appearance. Start with merchant gear, hunt tougher creatures for valuable rewards and trade your discoveries with other players. Venture into the Astral Vaults and Emberdeep with companions ready for the challenge. REAL RIVALS. REAL CONSEQUENCES. Beyond beginner protection, death drops equipped gear, carried items and gold. Protected areas offer refuge, and party members are protected from friendly attacks. Store valuables in your private depot before a risky hunt: deposited possessions stay safe when you die. A WORLD TO SHARE. Add friends, see who is online, form a party and meet up with your guild. Talk in Local chat or private Whispers. Optional proximity voice lets you hold the microphone button to speak to nearby adventurers; party voice keeps your group connected across distance. Mute, block and report controls are available. BUILD A HOME. BUILD IT TOGETHER. Earn building permits, buy designated land and create a home with walls, windows, roofs, furniture and gardens. Invite friends to visit or give trusted companions building and shared-storage permissions. Buy and sell player estates using in-game gold. PLAY YOUR WAY.
