Crowfall

Crowfall is a subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed and published by ArtCraft Entertainment. It was launched in July 2021 after a lengthy development period. The game is known for its focus on player-versus-player (PvP) combat and its persistent world design.

The core gameplay loop revolves around players entering instanced campaigns, which are essentially playable worlds with varying rulesets and lifespans. These campaigns are designed to be temporary, with the ultimate goal of conquering territory and resources for one's chosen faction. Player progression is achieved through a unique class system where characters can acquire and swap between different archetypes, allowing for significant build customization.

Crowfall features a strong emphasis on crafting and economy, with players able to gather resources, forge equipment, and trade with others. The game's "Eternal Kingdom" is a persistent world where players can build and defend their own fortresses, serving as a long-term hub for alliances and ongoing conflicts. The combat system is action-oriented, requiring skill and timing.

The game was initially funded through crowdfunding and a unique "Founders' Packs" system. Crowfall aims to provide a more mature and strategic MMORPG experience, distinct from many of its contemporaries by prioritizing player agency and territorial control within its campaign and persistent world structures.
