Description
About This Game
Become a Bearer. Protect the Celestians. Uncover the Truth.
Amid the splendor of the Celestial Isles - a skybound archipelago - you are one of the gifted few, touched by fate: a Bearer, chosen by one of the Eight Gods to wield divine power.
Bearers are charged with protecting the realm from deadly beasts and rebel factions, while inspiring the people through glorious ritualised combat in the Arena.
However, beneath the prosperity and contentment of the magic-imbued cities lies a dark secret - the Veil, a magical tempest that shrouds the world below and conceals truths that could shatter everything the Celestians believe.
Forge Your Legend
Craft your own unique playstyle by pairing a Primary profession with any Secondary from eight distinct classes. Whether you prefer the brutal efficiency of a Fighter-Monk hybrid or the mystical versatility of a Shaman-Mage, the choice is yours.
With unlimited respec and a non-destructive build system, experimentation isn’t just encouraged - it’s essential. Adapt your loadout of gear and abilities to suit each encounter or area, shaped by the challenges you face, as well as your team composition. True power lies in synergy discovery and finding your perfect battle rhythm.
Master Eight Professions
Fighter: Inflict physical damage and conditions whilst drawing enemy focus
Ranger: Strike from range with projectiles and shape the battlefield with tactical traps
Rogue: Use speed and cunning to deal devastating spike damage and cripple foes
Monk: Channel spiritual energy into precise strikes and ranged bursts
Mage: Command elemental power to deal damage and alter the environment
Psychic: Manipulate minds and alter enemy perception to impair and disrupt
Shaman: Commune with ancestral spirits to heal, protect and buff
Warlock: Drain enemy life force, inflict debuffs and animate the undead
Team Up, Think Fast, Fight Hard
Bearers shines in cooperative play. Coordinate with up to 3 players to tackle challenging encounters that demand tactical thinking and perfect timing. Each profession complements others—combine a Fighter's aggro control with a Shaman's protective buffs, or unleash devastating combos with synchronized Mage and Warlock abilities.
Bearers is built from the ground up for party-based play - whether with friends or AI companions. There are no levels or grind; your strength comes from preparation, coordination, and synergy. Adapt your build to suit the challenge ahead, and combine it with your team’s strategy for powerful results. Have a Ranger lock down enemies in traps while a Mage unleashes devastating area spells, or let a Shaman channel a guardian spirit to shield a Rogue as they slip through chaos to deliver spike damage to a vital target. Every profession complements another - the key to victory lies in the plan, not the power curve.
Explore the Celestial Isles
Step into a breathtaking aetherpunk world where magic and technology intertwine across the skybound realm of the Celestial Isles. As a Bearer, protect the Celestians from insurgent factions like the Sky Pirates, crystal-worshipping cultists, and roaming predators and monsters. Compete in the Arena to inspire and entertain the people with acts of heroism. And beyond the spectacle, a deeper truth awaits - unravel the mystery of the Veil, a swirling tempest that shrouds the world below.
Souls-Inspired Combat with a Twist
Experience challenging, deliberate combat that rewards skill and teamwork. Learn enemy patterns, time your abilities perfectly, and coordinate with allies to overcome formidable foes. Unlike traditional souls-like games, our focus on cooperation means fallen allies can be revived, keeping the team together through the toughest battles.
