Umber

The World of Umber Awaits

Welcome to the realm of Umber, a PC-exclusive turn-based combat game set in the war-torn world of Evaria. Centuries ago, a magical force known as Aether was abundant, but a catastrophic event severely diminished its presence. Now, remnants of Aether are near myth, overshadowed by a reliance on steam-powered technology fueled by a newly discovered ore. As factions crumble under the weight of conflict, a group must rise to confront a long-forgotten evil that threatens to engulf their land.

A Journey Through a Divided Nation

At the heart of Umber lies the story of two factory workers, Molly and Henry, whose lives intertwine with the eccentric Victor and the last true mage, Elizabeth. Their quest is both personal and monumental: to uncover secrets about a broken seal that once contained darkness. Players will guide these characters through turn-based battles filled with strategic decisions. Whether holding positions or defending critical assets, every action counts in this dynamic conflict.

Unique Turn-Based Mechanics

Combat in Umber is not just about hitting hard; it incorporates a variety of tactical elements. Characters have access to an array of abilities, allowing them to inflict damage, buff allies, or reposition themselves on the battlefield. Successfully ending turns quickly can earn impact charges, which are precious resources for enhancing attacks or calling in airship strikes. Each battle is an opportunity to hone your strategy, making every encounter feel fresh and engaging.

Build Your Dream Team with Diverse Classes

What sets Umber apart is its comprehensive character system. Build your party with up to 12 distinct classes, each featuring its own ability tree. This depth enables players to experiment with different combinations and synergies, enhancing combat and strategy. Discover how best to leverage each character's unique strengths and weaknesses, transforming the tide of battle in your favor.

Customize Character Equipment and Airship

The path to dominance doesn't stop at character classes; Umber offers robust customization options. Players can enhance their characters' weapons and armor with magical and mechanical upgrades, improving resistances and unlocking new abilities. In addition, you can customize the airship, the “Icewind,” to maximize its power. Adjust the deck layout, artillery, and engine for optimal performance, ensuring you can support ground battles with powerful aerial strikes.

Confront the Darkness Leaking In

Challenges in Umber are multifaceted. Characters must face enemy soldiers from rival factions and the haunting “Breeched,” monstrous foes emerging from the fractured seal. As players navigate this chaotic landscape, they will unravel histories hidden from the common folk, shaping the future of Evaria. Every decision, every alliance formed, holds the potential to change the outcome of the war and restore balance to the world.

A Rich, War-Torn Narrative Experience

The narrative of Umber is driven by rich storytelling, presenting a world filled with intrigue and mystery. Players are not simply fighting; they are unveiling a deeper truth about their world, its past, and the powers that linger. Each character has their own story, motivations, and fears, making the emotional weight of this journey palpable. The juxtaposition of technology and fading magic creates a unique atmosphere, immersing players in a world desperate for heroes.
