Eldrem Kingdoms - The Most Epic Skyworld Adventure Ever Made

What is Eldrem Kingdoms

Eldrem Kingdoms is a high-fantasy action RPG where you explore floating islands, tame and breed powerful creatures, raise dragons, defeat bosses,build your own kingdom, and wage wars for territory.

Your Adventure in Eldrem

Explore. Tame. Summon. Build. Conquer.

In Eldrem Kingdoms, you are a Summoner, one of the rare few able to tame powerful creatures and call them back into battle.

Explore the Crystal Sky Islands, hunt strange beasts, weaken them, and attempt to tame them. Each creature you capture becomes more than a companion: when summoned, it fights beside you and grants you its unique active abilities and passive powers.

Build a roster of creatures with different elements, strengths, and combat roles, then switch between them depending on the challenge ahead. Think of your creature team like a living deck of cards, except your cards can breathe fire, summon lightning, or take to the skies.

As your journey advances, so does your power. Raise dragons, expand your kingdom, gather resources, recruit armies, and defend the lands you claim from rival forces.

Summoned creatures grant unique abilities

In Eldrem, your strength doesn’t come from weapons alone. It comes from the creatures you bond with.

Every summoned creature empowers you directly by granting a different set of abilities. That means your combat style changes based on who you bring into battle. Tame a new beast and you do not just add it to a roster, you unlock a new way to fight.

Each creature unlocks a unique set of abilities that directly shape your combat style and power.

Master the Elements through Your Creatures

Bring up to four creatures into your adventure and unleash their elemental abilities in combat, summoning them or channeling their powers as your own.

Build your ultimate squad, define your playstyle through the creatures you command.

Raise Dragons and Rule the Skies

Dragons in Eldrem are long-term companions. You raise them, feed them, care for them, and watch them physically grow over time, becoming larger, more imposing, and more powerful as your journey continues.

Build a Kingdom & Expand Your Realm

Your adventure does not stop at exploration and taming. Expand your realm, manage resources, recruit soldiers, defend what you have built, then launch assaults to conquer rival territories.

• Construct resource-producing buildings
• Use creatures to boost production, gathering, and defense

• Recruit and train your army
• Conquer new territories and claim your domain

Creatures of Eldrem

In Eldrem, all creatures fall into two large categories: Dragons and Beasts.

Beasts

Beasts are diverse, adaptable creatures infused with elemental power, found across every corner of the Crystal Sky. From loyal companions to powerful allies in battle and kingdom life, they play a vital role in your journey.

Dragons of Eldrem

In Eldrem, all draconic creatures share a common origin.

Born from the primal forces that shaped the Crystal Sky Islands, they form an ancient lineage known as the Dragonkind. Over time, this lineage evolved into different forms, each adapted to its environment, abilities, and role in the world.

Whether Wyvern, Wyrm, Drake, or Prime Dragon…

They are all Dragons in essence! Each form represents a different evolution, not a hierarchy of power.

In Eldrem, dragons never truly stop growing. Once they reach adulthood, they continue to increase in size and strength over time. To sustain this growth, they must be fed daily, either by you or by your Dragon Keeper.

Every player can attempt to tame creatures using a special bonding energy, but true mastery requires strategy, preparation, and the right tools.

Each creature is unique. From rarity and stats to abilities and hidden potential, no two are ever the same. Even within the same species, you may discover rare traits or powerful variations.

Some creatures are harder to find than others. They appear only in specific regions, under certain conditions, or during rare events, making them valuable targets for those willing to hunt them.

Choose wisely. The creatures you tame define your power.

Raise them from babies to powerful adults, bonding with them through imprinting to unlock their full potential. The stronger your connection, the stronger they become.

Through breeding, you can combine traits, improve stats, and create stronger bloodlines. With the right strategy, you may even trigger rare mutations, unlocking unique variants with enhanced abilities and unexpected power.

Our Vision for Eldrem

With your contribution, the following features will make it into the game faster

The greatest rewards come from the biggest challenges. Discover and challenge dangerous bosses around the world to test your skil, power and creature mastery.

These tough encounters will bring unique mechanics, abilities, and phases requiring preparation and tactics to overcome.

Defeating them grants access to some of the most valuable rewards in the game, including rare materials, powerful gear, and unique creature-related upgrades.

Shape your hero with a range of options, including body type, skin tone, hairstyles, facial hair, scars, and tattoos to create a character that feels uniquely yours.

Earn or craft gear using materials and rare blueprints found across the Crystal Sky. Upgrade and customize your equipment over time to increase its power, unlock bonuses, and shape it around your playstyle.

We are starting with a single-player PvE experience first, focused on exploration, creatures, progression, and kingdom building.

As Eldrem continues to grow, we plan to expand Eldrem with optional PvP modes, including Royal Arena Tournament where only one can be the victor.
Climb through seasonal tournaments and earn exclusive rewards, rare skins, unique weapon cosmetics, and prestigious prizes reserved for the best.

Eldrem features an open economy where most resources, gear, and even creature bloodlines can be traded between players.

Build your Trade Center to exchange directly with others or use the auction house to buy and sell items, even while offline.

A Council That Thinks for Itself! 

Your kingdom is guided by a Council of powerful advisors, from Generals and Scholars to Treasurers and Wardens, each helping shape the future of your realm.

• Receive strategic advice on war, expansion, creatures, and economy
• Automate resource gathering, defense, and daily operations
• Defend your kingdom even while you're offline
• Unique personalities, loyalties, and ambitions
• Political conflicts, difficult choices, and potential betrayal
• Trust them, challenge them, or ignore them at your own risk.

Territory Battles

Across the Crystal Sky, battles unfold on a massive scale. From open-world encounters to full siege assaults, you will fight to conquer territories or defend the lands you’ve built.

Your armies are made of warriors, archers, cavalry, and powerful siege beasts, but numbers alone don’t decide victory. You do!

Only you can summon and channel the power of your bonded creatures in battle. Their abilities can break enemy lines, turn impossible fights, and shift the outcome of war, even against overwhelming forces.

Barbarian armies will rise and raid your kingdom, threatening your cities and strongholds. You can lead the defense yourself… or trust your Warden to hold the line while you are away.

Eldrem begins as a PvE experience, but the conflict will grow. As the world evolves, players will face each other in large-scale battles. 

Development Progress

Eldrem is already being built. Kickstarter helps us build it faster and bigger.

After more than a year of development, we have completed our first prototype and proven the foundation of Eldrem’s core gameplay.

We are now moving toward pre-alpha, with combat, taming, creature and character progression, riding and flying, quests, AI enemies, and our first three starter islands already taking shape.

With your support, we can expand the team, bring key contributors fully onboard, complete the pre-alpha sooner, and accelerate our path toward Early Access.

• No pay-to-win  
Progression is driven by skill, strategy, and how you build your creatures and kingdom. All purchasable content is limited to cosmetics or quality-of-life features that do not impact gameplay balance.

• No Blockchain or NFTs While we initially explored ownership mechanics using blockchain, we listened to our community and chose to remove it. Eldrem is fully focused on delivering a traditional, fun-first fantasy gaming experience.

We have built the foundation of Eldrem. Now it’s time to bring more of the world to life.

With your support, we can expand the team, improve combat, animations and VFX, and bring more creatures from concept art into fully playable 3D form.

Our goal is to move from Pre-Alpha to Open Alpha, then toward Open Beta, while developing Eldrem together with our community through regular updates, feedback, and polls.

We are building Eldrem anyway, but with you, we can build it faster, bigger, and closer to the vision we believe in.

Community-Driven Development

We are building Eldrem Kingdoms with you, not just for you.

Your feedback will help shape creatures, systems, features, and the future of the world as development continues.
