Hunger for Source grows…

The floating isles of Ankar are kept afloat by a mysterious energy known as “Source”, but when it becomes clear this resource is not limitless, tensions rise. They deteriorate further when the islands begin crashing into one another, bringing nation-states into direct conflict. War erupts between formerly peaceful factions with each island’s precious supply of Source at the center of it all. The Joining War has begun!

Four factions take center stage in the conflict. The brawnen rely on their industry and formidable strength to outpace any opposition, and their lengthy history of martial endeavors is matched only by the enhanced abilities of their forsaken warriors. The grovetenders—once an introverted and peaceful race—now weave their harmony with nature into fearsome constructs that threaten anything on the battlefield. Stratified by a caste system, the heirs believe it their birthright to control Ankar, and what they lack in strength they make up for with highly-trained aerial squadrons. Lastly, the narora’s reverence for Source has made them fanatical worshippers and warriors; their ultimate wish to join this power produces unstable and powerful fighters.

Welcome to Cloudspire, a fierce strategy game with competitive and cooperative play for 1-4 players.

Fight for supremacy in Ankar as each faction desires control of Source. Construct spires, upgrade your fortress, and march units relentlessly onward until your opponent’s fortress crumbles and falls from the floating realm forever! Effective use of the scarce Source will determine which faction waxes and which wanes, so carefully distributing power between spires, units, and fortresses is key. Find the faction that will win you Ankar, and bring the other warring nation-states to heel!

Cloudspire offers multiple ways to play, with robust solo and cooperative scenarios for players who aren’t looking to engage in PvP contests for control of Ankar. These three modes allow players to fully explore each faction, and the pursuit of different winning objectives provides continual variety in your game sessions. Your decisions will decide the victor of the Joining War!

Fearsome Factions

Each nation-state in Ankar adds complexity and depth to the world. No matter if you’re controlling them or opposing them, these charismatic groups rely on unique strengths (and mask any weaknesses). Whether summoning a terrifying Grizzled Oak as the grovetenders or diving down from your Minarets as the heirs, every decision in Cloudspire hinges upon the strategies and talents of your faction.

Control The Source

This mystical energy lies at the heart of Ankar’s conflict, and it will be the determining factor for success in a game of Cloudspire. Your fortresses, your spires, and your units depend on how well you can stretch the limited resource. Its presence on the battlefield may well dictate your movements; channeling the most powerful resource in Ankar is the path to victory!

Marching Ever Onward

Faction forces—standard, promoted, and heroic—are the mobile reinforcement of your will in Ankar. They will march inexorably toward the enemy fortresses, applying pressure until the opposition’s gates crumble inward. Along the way, they’ll encounter wild creatures, enemy spires, and the other ground (or aerial) units who march toward your stronghold. Deploying the right minions, utilizing the right talents, and supporting them with the best spires will be critical in dismantling your opponent’s strategy while advancing your own.

The Joining War

Cloudspire boasts some truly immersive solo and cooperative scenarios that pull you into the world of Ankar and place you directly into the middle of its greatest conflict. Beloved by many gamers in the solo community, these scenarios create layers of puzzles for players to disentangle as they extract the greatest potential from each faction. Overcome the onslaught and come out on top as the isles collide in the Joining War!

Ankar Expands

When war erupts in the floating realm of Ankar, it doesn’t take long for other nation-states to understand what’s at stake. The skirmishes between the brawnen, grovetenders, heirs, and narora are only the beginning. The griege, the Uprising, and Horizon’s Wrath are all entering the fray. And other groups vie for power as the allure of Source builds to a violent crescendo. Who will plunder the riches of Ankar?
