Classes
-
Fire mage
Fire always fascinated humanity. It's one of the elements, a building block of the universe. Those who can control it gain immense power. Many mages succumbed to this temptation and became Fire Mages. Mastering the element in the volcanic, ash-covered areas of Taern, Fire Mages are experts in casting powerful, offensive fire spells.
As lords of the element of fire, Fire Mages can deal significant and extensive damage.
-
Knight
Knights are gallant and heroic warriors. Guided by honor and the strength of their weapons, they strive to restore their motherland to its former glory. Knights are natural-born commanders, always leading, supporting, and protecting their fellow Taernians.
Knights are the most powerful in larger battles where they can boost their companions’ morale and protect them by redirecting some of the damage to themselves.
-
Sheed
Sheeds are valiant warriors who fight using various techniques and their agility. Many years of training turn Sheeds into perfect killing machines. Their weapons are powerful knuckledusters and combat gloves. Sheeds study ancient combat techniques that allow them to better control their bodies.
Sheeds are melee combatants who weaken their foes by attacking their vulnerable spots.
-
Archer
The vast forests of Taern were a natural place for archery training. Many Taernians honed their skills in that wilderness. The frightening tangle of treetops blocked most of the light, so hunting there required keen eyes and a steady aim.
Archers use precise, accurate shots to weaken their foes.
-
Druid
Druids are fierce protectors of life. Entwined with the nature of Taern like ancient oaks, they were uprooted and moved onto foreign soil by the grunts of Utor and their magic. Druids are furious like bears awakened from their slumber. They are excellent healers who understand the language of nature and are able to summon its strength to defend themselves.
Druids are valuable members of any party due to their ability to heal, but their strikes may prove deadly, too.
-
Barbarian
Barbarians are people who prefer simple, forceful ways of tackling problems. They are unmatched at wielding two-handed weapons, but they can also use their teeth and head - preferably to smash unsuspecting opponents. Barbarians excel in melee combat, spinning through the ranks of their foes and dealing deadly blows.
Barbarians decimate their enemies using heavy weapons and their own bodies.
-
Voodoo
Voodoos know the intricacies and duality of human nature. They can also use its weaknesses for their purposes. Voodoos travel the world, draining will and life force from their enemies, proving to everyone that the human mind and spiritual energy are powerful tools.
Voodoos make their foes easier to defeat by weakening them with surprisingly fast mental attacks.
Combat system
Our unique combat system has been praised by the enthusiasts of both turn-based and action games. Players plan their movements at the same time and have only 10 seconds to do so. When creating your character, you have 7 classes to choose from: barbarian, archer, sheed, druid, voodoo shaman, fire mage or knight. Each of them uses their own set of unique abilities. When playing by yourself, you will certainly experience the tactical depth of our combat system, while playing with others will let you fully appreciate various relationships between classes and unique combinations.
World of Broken Ranks
The world of 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. Monstrous beings, always thirsty for human blood, lurk outside of cities and villages. And amidst all of this are normal people who are just trying to live their everyday lives and survive for yet another day.
Exploration, either by yourself or in a party, plays a very important role in the gameplay of Broken Ranks. Visit vibrant cities, remote mountaintops, mysterious settlements, and terrifying ruins inhabited by powerful creatures that cast a shadow over the human world. To the brave adventurers who dare to defeat the most powerful monsters, the world offers riches, fame, and power. To the weak and scared, only oblivion.
