Ashen Banner: Turn Based RPG

Plan every move. Protect your company. Decide what peace will cost.

ASHEN BANNER is a single-player, story-driven, turn-based tactical RPG with grid battles and 8-bit inspired pixel art. Vaelor is a kingdom with no settled ruler. You lead Caelan Voss and a growing company of survivors through eight chapters of war, politics and hard choices.

BATTLES THAT ASK YOU TO THINK
Each fight takes place on a tactical grid. Units act in speed order and can move and act once per turn, so where you stand matters as much as how hard you hit. Use terrain, guard your weaker allies and pick the right skill at the right moment.

EVERY MISSION HAS A GOAL
Not every battle ends by defeating every enemy. Some missions ask you to protect a villager, escort someone to safety, hold a position, gather supplies, recover a relic, break out of a trap or bring down an enemy commander. Read the orders before you march.

BUILD YOUR COMPANY
- 12 classes, from Swordsman, Knight and Archer to Cleric, Beast Tamer and Battle Musician
- Two promotion paths for every class, plus talents and a three-technique loadout
- Equipment, crafting and a forge to raise your gear
- Take up to five living members of your company into each battle

COMPANIONS WHO REMEMBER
Twelve named companions travel with the banner. Talk with them at camp, build their trust and unlock their personal stories. Stronger bonds unlock signature techniques in battle.

YOUR CHOICES SHAPE THE WAR
After story victories you make political decisions that change your standing with the factions of Vaelor and who will fight beside you. Decisions, reputation and losses lead to one of several endings, with an epilogue for each companion.

CAMP BETWEEN BATTLES
Rest the wounded in the infirmary, improve your camp facilities, shop for gear and prepare your squad before the next operation.
