Shadowrealm: Age of Darkness

Shadowrealm Age of Darkness is a free dark fantasy RPG that you play in your browser on phone, tablet or PC, with nothing to download. The realm is rotten, the Shadow King sits on his throne, and you start as a Peasant with 100 gold, ten energy and a bad reputation. Your goal is simple. Steal, fight, scheme and trade your way up eight ranks to Wraithking, then Ascend and begin again with permanent power.

This is a persistent world. Energy, health and mana refill in real time even while you are offline, there are no season wipes and no server resets, and every player shares one living economy. A two minute visit and a two hour session both move you forward.

Crime is where most careers begin. Commit 24 deeds across four cities, each with a real chance to fail, pull heists with a crew of up to four players, deal in the rotating Black Market and risk real jail time unless a friend breaks you out. When you want a fight, you can hunt other players in open PvP where your real health counts, climb a monthly ranked Arena with 21 tiers, clear a dungeon in each city, push up a Tower of 150 floors with a boss on every tenth floor, or join the whole realm against a city boss.

Your character grows in many directions. Collect gear in six rarities up to divine, craft from 65 recipes, enchant and socket gemstones, empower the Heirloom relic, spend talent points and train four professions up to level 150 with expeditions that run while you play. Claim a ruined Stronghold and raise 22 buildings, follow a 28 chapter story and chase 82 achievements.

The economy belongs to the players. Trade on the Marketplace, bid at the weekly auction, swap materials and gems, use escrow for safe deals and earn daily interest at the Bank. You can even buy a casino and run dice, blackjack, roulette, slots, Plinko and poker for everyone else. Guilds hold up to 30 members, share a treasury and contracts, race each other every week and fight over control of the cities.

Shadowrealm is free to play. Optional Shadowgems and a monthly VIP Pass cover convenience and cosmetics, and Shadowgems can also be earned in play. It is made by one independent developer who ships an update almost every week, publishes every change in public release notes and keeps a public roadmap. Come and see how far you rise.
