About this game Read the full description
Desert Ashes is a turn based strategy game with online multiplayer and single player campaigns which also boasts an innovative menu system allowing players to enjoy multiple games at once.


The Day-Night system adds a dynamic twist to turn based battles including weather conditions that can affect the battlefield map, for example, all bodies of water have the ability to freeze over night!


On top of this, Desert Ashes offers its players special unlockable perks to customize their armies with, for example, The Fort Toughness Perk that adds 20% DEF to all allied units at a structure, and the Vampire Perk that gives players to convert 20% attack damage to HP between 10pm and 5am!


Experience also exciting single player campaigns that allows the player to experience playing as both the winged crusade and the landians.
