Broken Ranks Beta Gameplay Walkthrough
1Broken Ranks is an online role playing game with a dark, low fantasy atmosphere.
Broken Ranks - a nod to the classic cRPGs
The proven cRPG formula, nostalgic and old-school, enriched with an MMO dimension and a tactical turn-based combat system. You’ll see the world from an isometric view, reminiscent of globally popular RPG classics.
Explore, fight, loot rare items
Discover thriving cities, lone mountains hidden among the clouds, mysterious and foreboding ruins where powerful beings that cast their shadow upon the realms of humans dwell. This world offers riches, fame, and power to the brave adventurer who can defeat the most powerful monsters. The weak and scared are offered only one thing - oblivion.
Become a full-fledged strategist
A good fight - that’s what many players like the most! The combination of a turn-based combat with a clock that counts down time until the end of each round produced a very dynamic system. Add party-based fights against other players to the mix and you get a combat system that provides a true adrenaline rush.
Your choices matter - nonlinear storyline like in an cRPG
This world doesn’t 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 yet another day.

It’s also a record of a brutal reality where every day is a new challenge but also a new opportunity.
Be ready for anything
Embark on a journey through a spectrum of emotions evoked by our elaborate and mature narrative, enriched with a dose of humor appropriate for the low fantasy atmosphere. You will face not only hordes of monsters but also difficult decisions… For example, you’ll have to make a choice of who would be the best village leader. The candidates are the moonshiner and potato thief Billy, the lecherous Marcela of questionable morals, or Marco who sells Imperial merchandise “under the counter”. Just a completely normal, everyday life… ;)
Apart from epic, world-shaping events, you’ll also encounter the hardships of everyday life and numerous plot twists. For example, during your investigation it’ll turn out that instead of the ghosts haunting the well, at its bottom you’ll find a pair of drunkards struggling with the economic impact of poverty (shortage of local moonshine.
