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.
