Auryalis is an indie click-based RPG and adventure game available on PC in early access. Players enter a shattered world of thirteen floating islands following the explosion of the Heart of Auryalis, arriving in the City as the sole remaining refuge. The narrative unfolds across three acts and eighteen main quests, revealing the catastrophe and its consequences through encounters with characters who withhold as much as they share.
Gameplay
Combat occurs in real time across thirteen distinct zones, each featuring unique creatures, a boss encounter, its own loot table, and a separate atmosphere. Active participation is required throughout, with players managing gear and personal progression to advance. Exploration proceeds either act by act or at an individual pace, allowing flexibility in how the corrupted world is traversed.
Thirteen crafting professions support gathering and creation up to level 120. Gathering professions include mining, fishing, herbalism, and arboristry. Crafting professions cover foundry work, jewelry, shaping, scribing, alchemy, cooking, tanning, weaving, and butchery. Each requires direct clicks, ingredient combination, and completion of mini-games to advance along individual progression trees.
The Soul Tree serves as a permanent talent system. Souls collected from defeated enemies are invested here to build lasting improvements that carry forward. Fourteen familiars can be unlocked by defeating creatures and bosses, with four legendary variants reserved for dedicated play. More than seven hundred unique items appear through discovery, crafting, and equipping.
Game Modes
The core experience centers on a single-player narrative campaign divided into three acts. Players follow eighteen main quests while exploring zones, engaging in real-time combat, and advancing through crafting and the Soul Tree. No separate competitive or multiplayer modes are present. Progression remains tied to active participation in quests, zone exploration, profession leveling, and familiar collection within this unified structure.
Story and World
The setting begins in the City after the Heart of Auryalis explosion fractured the world into thirteen floating islands. Each zone carries scars from the event and presents its own environmental tone alongside distinct enemies and rewards. The three-act story gradually discloses the truth behind the catastrophe and the player's unexplained arrival, delivered through interactions with characters who hold personal secrets.
Is It Worth Playing?
Auryalis suits players who prefer deliberate, click-driven progression in an RPG format that combines real-time combat with extensive crafting and permanent upgrades. The early access version already contains the full three-act narrative, thirteen explorable zones, all thirteen professions, the Soul Tree, and fourteen familiars. A solo developer continues to support the title with planned additions to zones, familiars, and crafting based on player input. Those who value active engagement over passive systems and appreciate a contained story with room for future expansion will find the current content substantial. Sixty-five Steam achievements are included, localized in French and English.
