Enter the broken world

The world was not ended. It was broken, and the pieces still bleed.

Cinders of Chaos is a dark fantasy online RPG with its own client. It keeps the classic top-down hunt-and-loot game and adds the depth of an action RPG: classes with ascensions, a huge passive tree, items with rarities and modifiers, crafting orbs, monsters that roll affixes, and endgame systems built for weeks of play rather than days.

Open Beta: the ash is falling

Welcome to the Open Beta of Cinders of Chaos, a dark fantasy world on the classic top-down hunt-and-loot game, with the depth of an action RPG: seven classes, a huge passive tree, rolled gear, crafting orbs, rifts, raids and seasons.

This is a beta. Progress may be wiped at any time, and characters, items, gold, Chaos Coins and the market will most likely be wiped before launch. Play to try everything and to break it, not to keep it.
