FAQ

FAQ Broken Ranks - turn-based MMORPG on Android

On which platforms is the mobile version of Broken Ranks available?

We're launching on Android first. The mobile version is currently in Early Access, available in the Polish Google Play store.

Will Broken Ranks come to iOS?

Yes - iOS is in the plans and is one of our most important goals. First, however, we want to run the Early Access on Android, catch and fix the most important issues, and stabilize the game further. Only then will we move on to iOS.

When will the MMORPG come to iOS?

We can't give an exact date at this point.

Is mobile Broken Ranks the full version of the game?

Yes - the mobile version will ultimately have the exact same content and mechanics as the PC version. It's not a simplified port, but a full version of the game adapted for touchscreens.

That said, keep in mind that the mobile version of Broken Ranks is currently in Early Access - despite being in a very advanced state, some features may still be missing and others may be in a prototype state.

What will be missing at launch (as of March 3, 2026):

achievements window,
drop history / statistics UI,
improved marketplace logs and history tab,
final UI polish,
Legends (weapons) crafting UI,
arena and tournaments,
faction shop,
Trials of the Lodge are currently being implemented (may not be available at launch on March 3rd),
invite tab.

Things that will be in prototype state (as of March 3, 2026):

Guild UI and guild plot view,
Messages (inbox) window,
dynamic events view,
Friends window,
chat,
news module on the Character selection screen.

Can I play Broken Ranks on the same account as on PC?

Yes. Just download and install the game from Google Play, then log in with your existing account.

And the other way around: new players who register through the mobile version will be able to use their account to log into the PC version via our game client. Just use the “Forgot my password” option the first time you launch the client - generate a password and you're good to go.

Progress, items, and history are shared across PC and Android.

Do mobile and PC players play together?

Yes. All players are on the same servers - as long as they choose the same world. There are currently no separate servers for mobile players.

Have the controls in Broken Ranks been adapted for phones?

Yes. The interface and controls are designed with touchscreens in mind. As mentioned above, some UI elements may still be missing or in prototype form during Early Access. Map movement works in two modes, which can be switched in settings - tap mode (similar to the PC version) and joystick mode (familiar from most mobile games).

Does the game run smoothly on Android?

Yes, Broken Ranks is well optimized for mobile devices. However, keep in mind that during the first few days after the server launch, an unusually high number of players may appear on the maps at the same time, which may cause temporary drops in performance.

This is normal at the launch of any new server - the more objects on the map, the harder your phone has to work. Over time, players will spread out across the game world and everything should return to normal.

What are the hardware requirements for Broken Ranks on mobile?

Minimum:

RAM: 4 GB,
Android 11.

Recommended:

RAM: 6 GB,
Android 14+.

The game should run fine on all phones released after 2022. It also works on older devices (depending on their specs) - during testing it ran quite well (20-30 FPS) even on older models such as the Motorola G31.

Does Broken Ranks on Android work on all devices running this system?

Broken Ranks on Android works correctly on the vast majority of devices that meet the minimum requirements. The exception are phones equipped with the Imagination Tech BXM 8-256 GPU / Mediatek MT6855 chipset - on these devices the game may not work properly or installation may not be possible at all. The issues occur at the GPU driver level, causing problems with 3D graphics rendering that make the game unplayable. This chipset / GPU is known for similar problems in other mobile games as well. We have reported the issues to the developers of the engine the game was built on and are actively investigating the matter.

Examples of popular phone models with this chipset / GPU:

Motorola Moto G64y,
Redmi Note 14,
Motorola Moto G55,
Motorola Moto G73,
Motorola Moto G56.

Does Broken Ranks on Android work on tablets and foldable devices?

Broken Ranks is available on tablets and foldable phones, but the interface is not currently optimized for higher or non-standard resolutions. This means that the UI may not look or work as it should. We are going to address this issues in the future - at the moment, we are focusing on smartphones.

How much storage space does the game take up?

The installer is only part of the data. On first launch, the game will download additional files. We recommend having around 4 GB of free space available.

Can I play using mobile data?

Yes. However, for stable gameplay we recommend Wi-Fi or LTE / 5G. A weak connection may cause delays.

Is Broken Ranks on Android only in Polish?

Yes. The mobile version of Broken Ranks on Android is entirely in Polish. The Early Access on Google Play is launching exclusively for the Polish market, so for now the game is only available in Polish.

Is Broken Ranks on Android free to play?

Yes, Broken Ranks on Android is free to download and free to play.

Do purchases work the same as on PC?

Yes. All purchases are tied to your game account and available on both platforms.

Are there any ads in Broken Ranks on Android?

No. There are no ads of any kind in Broken Ranks - no banners, no video interruptions, no pop-ups. Download the game, log in, and play without any interruptions.

Does the mobile version of Broken Ranks change the rules on multi-accounting and multiboxing?

No. Broken Ranks has one unified ruleset that applies to all platforms (PC and mobile), and the launch of the mobile version changes nothing in this regard.

According to the rules:

you can only be logged in with one character in Broken Ranks (3D servers) at a time,
the exception is when - within a single account - one character is logged into Broken Ranks (3D) and one character is logged into The Pride of Taern (2D) simultaneously,
playing multiple characters at the same time in Broken Ranks (so-called multiboxing) is forbidden - regardless of the number of devices or platforms.

The mobile version is subject to exactly the same rules as the PC version.

Will my premium account work on the new server?

It depends on where it was purchased. If you activated it on one of the older servers, it will not work on Kaalor or any other newly launched server. Similarly, premium purchased on Kaalor will only work within the new servers (e.g. if there are two new servers, activating premium on one of them is enough to enjoy the benefits on both).

Will the alt buff work on the new servers?

No. The buff will not be active at the launch of the new servers. However, we do not rule out enabling it once the economy and server situation stabilize.

What should I do if the game doesn't work properly on my device?

Make sure your device meets the hardware requirements, update the app, and close other apps running in the background. If the problem persists, contact support with your device model and Android version.

Broken Ranks General FAQ

What type of game is Broken Ranks?

Broken Ranks is a low fantasy MMORPG with a vast, open world, an immersive, non-linear storyline, and a unique, turn-based combat system. The game uses an isometric view reminiscent of classic, popular titles like Baldur’s Gate.

A multitude of players, alone or in a party, explore cities teeming with life, cloud-covered mountaintops, forgotten ruins full of mysteries and dread, and many other lands.

Does the game have multiple character classes?

There are seven classes you can choose from. Each of them has 5 basic, common abilities and 9 unique abilities that the other classes don't have access to.

Available classes:

Fire Mages - experts in offensive fire spells. Fire Mages focus on dealing massive damage, mostly from a distance.
Voodoos - magicians that harness dark powers. They are experts in weakening foes with mental attacks.
Druids - excellent healers who understand the language of nature and are able to summon its strength. The ability to heal friends and immobilize foes lets Druids support the whole party very well.
Barbarians - fearless warriors that charge into combat without hesitation. They can deal incredible amounts of damage with melee weapons.
Knights - intrepid warriors who inspire their companions. They focus on empowering and protecting other party members.
Archers - disciplined hunters boasting uncanny precision and sharpened senses. Thanks to them, they are great at weakening foes and dealing damage from a distance.
Sheeds - warriors using the agility and strength of their own bodies in battle. They are melee combatants who weaken their foes by attacking their vulnerable spots.

You can read more about them in the character section.

What’s the story about?

It’s a story about a refugee looking for their own place in a new world and, at the same time, about a hero who needs to find strength to regain what the invaders took from them. They need to find their way in a brutal reality where every day brings new challenges but also opportunities.

What does combat look like?

Combat in Broken Ranks is turn-based and every combatant chooses their actions at the same time. You have only 10 seconds to choose what you’re going to do, so in order to defeat challenging enemies, you need both good cooperation and fast reaction times.

Is there PvP in the game?

Yes, it can be found in the game in two forms - open PvP and tournaments.

Open PvP is available to players who agree to take part in such activities. You can give your consent by joining one of the three factions: Unionists, Free Spirits, or Rogues. Players who belong to them and mark themselves ready for PvP can fight each other outside of the safe zones that are marked green.

There are also regions marked white where PvP is open to everybody, not only to players belonging to a faction. In most cases, they can be safely bypassed by choosing a different route.

In addition to that, every player, whether factionless or not, can participate in Arena tournaments.

Are there guilds available in Broken Ranks?

Yes, you’ll be able to form guilds and create your own community around them. You’ll get a separate guild chat that allows for more efficient communication, a forum, a shoutbox, and headquarters that you’ll be able to upgrade. Guilds deepen connections between players but also have additional benefits such as temple bonuses, guild pets, a teleportation tower, and a deposit where you can put your items.

More information is available here.

Will there be an in-game voice chat?

Voice chat will not be available in-game, but you can use our official Discord channel for voice communication.

Will the game be available on Steam?

We’re thinking about it. At first, the game will be available only through our game client, which you can download from the homepage.

Will I be able to play on any Windows version?

Broken Ranks can be run on Windows systems from Windows 7 to Windows 11, both 32-bit and 64-bit.

What about the 32-bit Windows patch?

Will the game be released on other operating systems?

How can I trade?

There are two options:

Marketplace - in order to buy or sell something on the marketplace, you need to deposit gold and / or platinum into your marketplace account. You can deposit gold by moving it into the deposit connected with the marketplace. With platinum, things are different - you need to move platinum boxes into the deposit first and then add them to the marketplace account. Remember that you should not unbox the platinum if you want to use it on the marketplace.
Trade chat - the other way is trading through the trade chat. All you need to do is post an offer and interested players can contact you via private message. The direct trade system is simple - both parties put the items or resources they want to trade into the trade window and accept the trade. The trade is finalized only when both parties accept. Always make sure you are offering and receiving the correct items.

I’m interested in writing a review or creating content about Broken Ranks. Who can I contact?

We’re open to cooperation. All you need to do is contact our PR department at [email protected].

If you've already created some content related to BR, we’d be grateful if you could send it to us at the address above.

Do I have to pay to play?

Broken Ranks is a F2P (Free to Play) game. This means that the game itself is free. All you need to do is download the client from our website.

Do you have a premium currency?

Yes, we have a premium currency called platinum that you can spend on various features. However, players are free to trade platinum between themselves, so you can buy it or get it from other players in exchange for items or gold. This opens many possibilities, as there’s no need to spend money on the game.

Does this mean that Broken Ranks is a pay-to-win game?

No. You don't need premium currency to enjoy the game. In addition to that, you can buy it or get it from other players, as it can be traded like any other item.

In the current version of the game, The Pride of Taern, this system proved to be very well designed and made our community quite happy. Our model makes it easier to simply enjoy the game and also boosts the in-game economy.

The main thing you can do with platinum is change your appearance, for example with various skins. There are also things you can buy with it that affect gameplay, but spending money on platinum is never required.

Since Broken Ranks is frequently compared to other games, including mobile ones, we want to dispel some doubts: our item shop doesn't include items that give players a huge advantage over others. Gear can only be gained by fighting bosses, defeating special mobs, trading with other players, or crafting. Most craftable items also take relatively little time to make without using premium currency.

Is there any way we can send fan art or other fan-made materials related to BR?

You can post them on our Discord.

Will there be class guides?

Guides were usually created by our veteran players. We hope they’ll share their experience with you. The best articles may be published on our social media channels, for example Facebook. You can also post them on our Discord.

We may also publish some tutorials for new players at a later date.

Where can I find Broken Ranks on social media?

You can join our communities on Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and Reddit. We also have a YouTube channel. If you want to talk to the developers or other players directly, you can join our Discord server.

Where can I see videos, trailers, or photos from important events related to the game community?

The most important information is published in the news section of our website. Trailers and videos from the game can be found on our YouTube channel.

What is TAERNCON?

It is a yearly convention organized by us for the fans of our games.
