A world worth getting lost in
Isles of Calamity is a free-to-play online RPG set across a storm-wracked archipelago. You arrive with nothing and build a life the way you choose — chopping wood and cooking your catch one evening, delving ruins for lost treasure the next. There's no set path and no wrong way to play; the isles are shared with every other adventurer, and the world remembers what you do in it.
What you can do
- Train twenty-two skills — seven combat, nine gathering, and six production — each climbing all the way to level 999. Gathering feeds production, so what you mine and catch becomes the gear and food you craft. See the skilling guide.
- Fight, explore, and take on quests. Real-time combat, monsters and bosses, and hand-written quests at launch, each awarding progress toward a dedicated Quest Level. Follow it all on the roadmap.
- Trade on a living economy. The player-driven Tideboard sets fair, game-wide prices that shift with what everyone is buying and selling — gather where a good is common, sell where it's dear.
- Choose your world. Eight worlds across the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, free and members alike, with one character that travels between them.
It's free to play, forever, with optional membership for those who want more. Climb the hiscores, help steer development with your vote, and join the community as we build toward launch.
