The Ardron Universe

You know that cringe person from high school who's personality never matured past the 2000's?
Yeah they're makin games now...and writing steam pages. 

Don't worry, ya don't have to put up with me to like the games. Just gotta read my BS to know what you're gettin into. 👉😎👉

So let's get into it. 

8 Games.
One Universe.
One Purchase.

What the **** more could you ask for???

Well besides it being free I guess... 

Or being finished quicker

but shut up. I'm tryin, I'm only one person!
And this aint no AI generated friendslop BS you can copy on roblox

These games are deep. 

Deeper than Jody gets in your mom. Yeah I know what I said. 

What indeed, 

What the hell is "The Ardron Universe"? 

Welp, The Ardron Universe is a bunch of games telling a bunch of stories that all happen within the universe at different times or different places at the same time as others. 

Yeah cause that wasn't confusing at all 🙄 GG Vex.

Anyways. We got them f**kin:

Different Genres? ✅
Different Places ✅
Different Mechanics? ✅
Mechanics that belong in one game in another? ❌

Nah we aint puttin card game mechanics in the damn music game. 

But, anyways what are ya signin up for?
Let's find out:

Some games are story heavy.
Some games are systems heavy.
Some games are multiplayer.
Some games are single player because some of you have no friends, or you just don't wanna deal with peoples bullshit. Trust me I get it. 

ButLetsBeHonestHere.

You don't have to like all of them.

Find the one(s) you DO like, and you get the rest anyway. 🤷

Choices made in one game can unlock things in another cause it's all intertwined and such.
Characters and events overlap.
Something you see in one story might completely change how you understand another.

And if you don't want to play an entire genre just to unlock something?

There's will be a skip. 👍 No it won't cost money.

I'm not holding your save file hostage because you don't like TTRPG's, or don't have the friends to play it.

SO bout them games 👏

See the DLC pages for more in depth Information

Speaking of ^ this line. 
The DLC that are Games will all be FREE and automatically included with this game.
They literally only have pages so I can go into more depth per game 🤷

I'm gonna get a lil serious here, as yaknow. this is what the hell you came here for. 👍

Genre: Virtual Tabletop RPG

The war is over.

That's about where the good news ends.

Ardron survived ten thousand years of war between gods, but "survived" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.

Now it's your turn.

Create a character. Pick a class. Learn spells. Explore what's left. Gather some friends and tell your own stories in the ashes of everybody else's.

Ashes of Arcanum is a virtual tabletop RPG built around giving you the tools to play in Ardron rather than telling you exactly what you're supposed to do there.

The world is already a mess.

What happens next is your problem.

Take a chance.

Roll the die.

Genre: Discord based MMORPG

Log in.

Pick a direction.

Try not to die.

Daemon Protocol is a multiplayer RPG built around exploring Icolass, scavenging for resources, building your character, fighting creatures, and occasionally realizing that whatever you just stumbled into would be considerably easier if you had brought friends.

Combat is tactical. Resources matter. Builds matter.

So do the other people wandering around the world with you.

Go exploring. Make things. Trade things. Kill things.

You know.

Community. Camaraderie, and another C word I can't think of.... 

Genre: Trading Card Game

Before mortals fought over Ardron, there were things much older playing games of their own.

Two Elder Primordials are drifting through the Void.

They're bored.

So they decide to play a card game.

That's it. That's the lore.

Build a deck from the creatures, people, gods, spells, and assorted nonsense of Ardron, then use it to beat the shit out of someone else's deck.

Make something clever.

Make something stupid.

Find an interaction that absolutely should not work, discover that it does, and build your entire deck around it.

Why?

Because card games are fun.

Genre: 2D Narrative Action

Freedin's father went to war.

He didn't come home.

That was only the beginning.

Grace's Lament follows Freedin during the opening years of a war that will eventually consume Ardron for ten thousand years.

Fight, explore, and make choices as his life becomes tangled in something much larger than himself.

There is no perfect route through it.

Helping someone can hurt somebody else.
Doing the "right" thing can have horrible consequences.

You still have to choose.

Goooooood luck with that >.>

Genre: 2D Action / Stealth Game

Rimalt is an assassin.

His parents are spies.

Turns out those professions work pretty well together.

Rimalt's Recollection follows a Kattari assassin traveling through Yumalon with one goal: find his grandfather and get revenge.

But finding someone who doesn't want to be found isn't as simple as following a trail.

Gather information. Follow leads. Use intelligence collected by Rimalt and his allies to track your target across Yumalon.

Meanwhile, rival ninja clans have their own business in the realm, and they aren't particularly interested in staying out of yours.

Navigate their territory. Defend yourself when necessary. Figure out who knows what you need to know.

You're an assassin.

You know who your target is.

Finding him is the hard part.

Genre: Top-Down RPG

History remembers gods.

Kings.

Generals.

Heroes.

History is considerably worse at remembering everyone else.

Ashbound Chronicles follows two creatures from Grimlowe who, through circumstances neither of them asked for, find themselves wandering through a world at war.

Travel across the realms. Fight creatures considerably more important than you are. Meet the people history bothered writing down.

Then keep going.

Not everyone who changes the world gets a statue.

Some don't even leave behind a name.

Genre: Rhythm Game / Narrative Game

Sometimes all you need is a song to pull you through the bad times. 

Echoes of Aria follows a masked young outcast with nowhere to go and very little left to lose.

Abandoned as a child and left to survive on the streets, an unlikely friendship gives him something he hasn't had in a long time: someone else to look after.

Surviving is one thing.

Feeding two mouths is another.

Perform tricks. Learn songs. Play your melodica for crowds, earn enough to eat, and travel from town to town alongside a growing family.

Not everyone you meet deserves your kindness.

Luckily, your new friends are very good at stealing things.

Play music. Put on a show. Make some coin. Decide who deserves a little help, and who perhaps deserves to discover that their coin purse has mysteriously disappeared.

Just keep the mask on, and keep performing.

Genre: Spell Creation Game

Magic is complicated.

Someone has to figure out how it works.

The Fay have been tasked with creating Offensive type spells for the war. 
Verdant Thesis follows their journey through this process. 

As a Fey you will use many different ingredients of Elusia to create spells. Harvesting their mana, and special properties. 

You can even use other Fae's notes, and improve on what they've discovered in the process. 

But your goal remains the same.

Try to understand why they work instead of simply accepting that they do.

That's it.

It's a game about magical research.

Everything is perfectly normal.

There is absolutely nothing else going on.

Promise.

So yeah. $10 gets you all that. 

Hell actually its probably $6.70 on sale. 

It'll be on sale a lot because reasons. Don't ask. 

BUT YEAH, 

When you buy the game, you own the game. 

As much as I love Steam (thankyousteamyou'reawesome)
Some people don't like DRM. I get it. 

There is a way in the game to turn off Steam DRM for the game.
You just...won't be able to use any of Steams services (duh) (But I recommend you use them cause they're nice, and hassle free.)

BUT once done, you can completely play it without steam. you own it. Nothing stops that except you maybe losing your SSD/HDD lol.

and at that point just contact me. we'll figure it out 🤷

I wont be holding back the cringe tho, that's the price you pay 

Anyways.

Why are you still here?
Wishlist the game, you already read all this bulls***
Are you still on the fence? for $6???

Either that or you read to see what other wacky shit i'd say. which in that case 👉😎👉

Go read the DLC pages 😁
