A star fell over the sea of clouds. Where its light landed, islands grew. Now something is devouring the light, and the sky needs heroes. Lumenfall is a 2D side-scrolling action MMORPG made for your phone. Fight in real time with combos, dodges and screen-shaking ultimates, explore a world of floating islands with friends, and take down bosses the size of the screen. CHOOSE YOUR CLASS Every hero starts as a Wanderer. At level 10 you pick a class, at 30 you choose one of its two paths for good, and you advance again at 60 and 100. • Lightblade: knights of morning light. The Sunguard shields the party, the Dragoon leaps on bosses from above. • Starweaver: scholars who drop the sky on their foes. Rain meteors as an Astral Sage or fight up close as a Star Monk. • Windstrider: archers of the high wind with a triple jump and a glide. Hunt beside a hawk as a Skywarden or line up one huge crossbow shot as a Marksman. • Moonshade: assassins of the lunar court, with a shadow that repeats your strikes. Stay close as a Reaper or weave through the fight as a Dancer. • Thornwarden: wardens of thorn, root and beast. Keep the party alive as a Wildheart or swing a briar scythe as a Harbinger. Each job has its own skill tree, and many attacks let you choose an effect like Stun, Freeze or Burn. REAL ACTION COMBAT • Fast combos, impact frames and a combo counter that rewards every hit. • Freeze a pack, then shatter it. Stun, bind and burn your way to a boss's BREAK bar, and hit harder while it's broken. • Every class builds its own gauge in battle and spends it on ultimates. PARTY UP AND RAID • Every land ends in a boss. Solo it once you outlevel it, or bring friends. • Raids are a step up: giant colossi, a time limit and lives the whole party shares. • Find a group fast with the party finder, then clear dungeons and lairs together. A WORLD ABOVE THE CLOUDS • Travel from sunny meadows and coral gardens to frozen peaks, glass dunes and a lantern-lit harbour town. • Ride griffons, star whales and moths across the sky, with pets that run out and grab your loot. • Collect legendary souls and call them into battle. • Relax with cloud fishing between fights. GROW YOUR HERO YOUR WAY • Spend your stat points yourself or let AUTO do it. • Forge your gear, reveal hidden potential and chase the perfect roll. • Auto-Hunt keeps the fight going when you need a break. PLAY TOGETHER • Join a guild, trade face to face and shop the market. • Test your build against other players in the Lumen Arena. • Climb the realm's rankings and show off your look. • Seasonal events change the whole world, like Hallowtide's Halloween skies and the Pumpkin King. MADE FOR PHONES Lumenfall is built for landscape play on iPhone and iPad, with thumb-friendly controls, a clean combat HUD and controller support.
