Voievod: Shadow of the Carpathians

A free 3D online RPG from the legends of the Carpathians.

A Dacian warrior in the Carpathian mountains

The Carpathians are waking up, and their shadows with them. Strigoi walk the old forests, raiders burn the plains, the Snow Queen rules the glaciers of Rodna, and at the end of the road waits the Shadow of the Carpathians itself. The voivodes of old need a new hero. That hero is you.

Voievod is built on Romanian history and folklore: Dacians, Vlad the Impaler, Stephen the Great, Michael the Brave, zmei (dragons), werewolves, strigoi and the forest spirits of the old tales. You play it in your browser, on your phone or as an app for Windows, with the same account everywhere.

Pick your hero

Dacian Warrior
Hits hard and endures a lot. The lower his health, the harder he strikes.
Strigoi Hunter
Silver in the quiver. Quick, with extra critical hits.
Mountain Healer
Knows the old cures. Heals a little in every round of a fight.
Berserker
Bear fur on his shoulders. Every hit gives him back some health.
Court Spy
The shadow of the princely court. The first strike of every fight is far stronger.

What you do in the game

Hunt across 11 monster lands. From the Argeș Hills (level 1) to the Cursed Lands (level 500). Every land has ten places with a hundred enemies each and a lord at the end: the White Wolf, the Bandit Chief, the Snow Queen, the Old Werewolf, the Tatar Khan, the Balkan Dragon, the Thracian King and more. Press Hunt and your hero fights on his own.
Go deep. Three giant dungeons, the Depths of Ash, Blood and Shadow, with ten halls each, a hundred foes per hall and a treasure chest at the bottom. Bring friends.
Build your fortress. Raise and upgrade your own city: barracks, forge, farm, mill, granary, stables and walls. Recruit an army and visit, or raid, other players' fortresses.
Fight the great ones. Climb the Tower of Power, duel in the Arena, join the siege of the Seat Fortress and stand with the whole server against the World Dragon.
Craft and gather. Forge and upgrade weapons and armour, mine ore, fish rivers and lakes, and trade at the Inn and the markets of the Carpathian City.
Play together. Join a brotherhood (clan), choose a faction, form a group, chat, and take companions into battle.
