Veil of Ashes is a real-time strategy game set in a dark universe with steam-powered war machines. Fight for control of strategic points across diverse maps in both single-player and multiplayer modes, where battlefields can be destroyed as the war unfolds.
Command forces ranging from infantry and tanks to colossal behemoths. Earn Tactical Points in tactically demanding battles to deploy powerful war machines, tactical strikes, and support assets, shifting the momentum of battle in your favor.
In 1704, the world was consumed by an unprecedented inferno. When the flames finally subsided, they left behind Cinium, mysterious white fragments, pure as angel feathers and possessing immense power.
Two centuries later, new kingdoms and reborn empires rise from the ruins of the old world, fighting over dwindling resources as a grey veil covers the sky and ash deserts turn the Earth into a wasteland.
Cinium fuels their war machines, powering steam-driven tanks and colossal behemoths as they battle for control of a world slowly fading into ashes.
The theocratic Sacrum Imperium, led by the Novissima Ecclesia, is a fanatical faction that overwhelms its enemies with sheer firepower and super-heavy Cataphractus tanks.
Dominating the western Mediterranean and expanding relentlessly, the Sacrum Imperium is the strongest power on the European continent.
The feudal Lohenreich, whose knights march into battle aboard heavily armored Lanzierer tanks, accompanied by loyal Panzerknecht Soldiers.
A remnant of ancient times in Central Europe. A mighty empire that is crumbling with each passing day. But its shards are ready to defend what is left.
During each match, build your army from different companies, each offering unique units and playstyles. Adapt your composition and tactics to the evolving conditions of the battlefield.
The longer the battle goes on, the more it impacts the map. Craters and wrecks alter the landscape. Destroyed Behemoths not only block the terrain but can also be garrisoned by advancing troops. Every successful commander knows how to integrate these into their strategy.
Veil of Ashes features semi-procedural single-player campaigns, each designed as a military venture across a strategic overworld map layered with tactical battles. You choose your path toward key objectives, expanding your army and managing resources under increasing pressure from time-limits and narrative-driven events.
Every decision matters, as battles have lasting consequences creating different outcomes, risks, and rewards across each playthrough.
The system is designed to offer strong replayability through procedural elements and branching events, while its modular structure allows for future expansion, including additional factions and content.
Multiplayer and skirmish battles support up to 4v4 (PvE and PvP), offering dynamic large-scale tactical engagements across diverse maps. Players can test different army compositions and strategies in fast-paced, objective-driven combat where positioning, timing, and reinforcement choices are crucial.
Skirmish features two core game modes:
Breakthrough – one team attacks while the opposing team defends key positions across the map from the start
Conquest – capture and control sectors to gain dominance over the battlefield
Semi procedural single-player campaign set in a post-apocalyptic alternate history
Multiplayer and skirmish up to 4v4 (PvE and PvP) with two game modes: Breakthrough and Conquest
Two unique factions at launch: Sacrum Imperium and Lohenreich
Large variety of different units ranging from infantry to colossal behemoths
Immersive and destructible environments
Dark setting with steam-powered war machines and high-quality graphics
More content and new factions (such as the third faction The Communes) are also planned to further expand the game in the future.
