About This Game

This version includes: Combat Arena Beta (available now), Early Access (TBD), Full game upon release (TBD), In-Game Title “Challenger”, Forebears’ Hoodie In-Game Cosmetic, and the Official Soundtrack. The Combat Arena is currently out in a Beta state. Purchasing access now will guarantee you access to Early Access and the full open-world game when they launch.

Join us in an early version of Kindred Fates and explore Amberwood, a bite-size area of Hinterlock, teeming with Kinfolk to befriend and bond with. Complete puzzles found in the world. Build the perfect team, customize their abilities, and control your Kinfolk in real-time combat. Hone your skills to fight other players in several combat arenas. Form lasting bonds with your team members to unlock their full potential.

But never forget that death looms around every corner. Consider your actions carefully, or you could lose your companions forever…

CORE FEATURES

Action Combat & PvP

Battles are fast-paced and happen in real-time. You'll need good aim, quick reactions, and an awareness of your environment if you want to survive. Try and defeat all the bandits in Amberwood or try your luck against other players in online P2P matchmaking.

YOUR COMPANIONS

Bond with a variety of Kinfolk to build out your team, and give them a nickname of your choosing. Cook their favorite foods and train hard to survive the dangers of Amberwood. Increase their level, experiment with team builds, and unlock their full potential through EV training.

YOUR BONDS

If your Kinfolk fall in combat, they don’t faint– they actually die.

When they die, their soul materializes as a small blue flame. Collect it in time, and you can revive them. If not, they're gone forever. Visit the Memorial to pay respects to the friends you've lost.

HORDE MODE

Try your luck in a new singleplayer mode! Fight against ever-increasing hordes of Restless Kinfolk. Refine your team to survive the hordes, and explore the compound to collect new abilities and items that will help you survive. The rewards for surviving are great, but how long will you last?

YOUR CHARACTER

Create your character. With a variety of facial features, hair colors, scars, and facial markings, the choice is yours.
