After nearly 5 years of development, Ardenfall is soft launching its playable demo!
You are able to play through the whole core gameplay loop - create your character, kill monsters, explore several large dungeons, interact with dozens of fully-written NPCs, and loose yourself in a large chunk of the world of Ardenfall.
This is a soft launch, which means there are many known issues that we are still fixing. If you run into problems or have any feedback, we would love to hear from you! The easiest way to reach out is through our discord: Discord Invite
We hope you enjoy your experience in the dangerous wetlands of Ardenfall.
May the sheru's roots protect you traveler,
- The Spellcast Team
