About this game

Right now you have the opportunity to taste a one-of-a-kind adventure in "Shadow of Hope," the latest (Jan. 25, 2024) fully free content update, bringing a ton of new features to the Broken Ranks. Do you want to feel like you're part of a fantasy world and get a real RPG vibe?

In Broken Ranks: Shadow of Hope you will venture into a dead city, you will bring hope to those who have lost it and you will write a new chapter in the history of the fight for Taern.

A lot of time passed since the fall of Thalia and it seemed that nothing would break the silence of the dead city. However, a glimmer of hope appeared. In Thalia, a spark of resistance against Utor's cruel tyranny still flickers. The task of turning that spark into a conflagration that will consume the Utorian invader falls into your hands.
You and your party are the only hope in the sea of shadows. However, Utor is not the only opponent. Powerful magic that got out of control during the bombardment of the city has transformed parts of the city which now terrify not only the hiding Taernians but also Utorian armies.

GAME INSPIRED BY FAMOUS CLASSICS
A proven cRPG formula, nostalgic and old-school, enriched by the MMO dimension and a unique combat system similar to that found in Heroes of Might & Magic. The game uses the isometric view reminiscent of classic, popular titles like Baldur's Gate.

DEEP, MATURE STORYLINE IN A LOW FANTASY WORLD
Broken Ranks is a place that does not forgive weakness. Lands, where humans carved their enclaves in the wilderness, are ruled by ruthless laws of history and politics. Become a Taernian who was forced to leave their homeland due to the invasion by Utorian hordes. Learn more about your character's history and shape their future by altering the fate of the Taernian fight for freedom.

Apart from epic, world-changing events, you will also encounter elements of difficult everyday life, like giving away your daughter in exchange for coal or helping a beaten prostitute...

You will experience many plot twists where, for example, during an investigation, you are conducting, you will find out that the ghosts haunting the well are just a bunch of drunkards faced with the economic realities of poverty (no access to the local moonshine).

7 CHARACTER CLASSES
Most games of this genre are based on a system of classes and skills... Broken Ranks is no exception, but the uniqueness of every class lets you gradually discover the tactical depths of the combat system. You will become a full-blown strategist in no time! You will be able to choose one of the seven classes: Barbarian, Fire Mage, Archer, Voodoo, Sheed, Druid, or Knight.

TACTICAL, TURN-BASED COMBAT SYSTEM
An entertaining battle - that is what many players enjoy the most! Combining turn-based combat with a clock that counts down the round time resulted in a very dynamic system. Adding team battles against other players into the mix makes the combat in Broken Ranks really thrilling and unique in the world of games.

NON-LINEAR QUEST STRAIGHT FROM cRPGS
What else will you experience? A journey through the whole spectrum of emotions provided by a well-written and mature storyline with a smidgen of humour that should be expected of a low fantasy world. You will face not only hordes of monsters but also difficult decisions... For example, who to help become the head of the village - the moonshine-making and potato-stealing Billy, the ill-reputed Marcela, or maybe the Imperial-goods-embezzling Marco? Life in a nutshell... Wink

It's not really a deal if it's always been free. It's not even a direct link to the game.
