AetherClash
Tactical fantasy squad duels
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Lead a squad of painted chibi heroes into dark-fantasy tactical duels. AetherClash is a turn-based strategy game of position, timing and nerve: spend five actions each turn to move, strike, heal, cast and deploy reinforcements, then destroy your opponent's crystals or wipe out their army.
SIX TEAMS, SIX WAYS TO WIN
- Ashen Order (free): armor, healing and chain magic.
- Crimson Host (free): lifesteal, hexes and raising the fallen.
- Brass Company: nine clockwork-and-steam specialists.
- Stonehold Clans: tough dwarves with rockets, runes and rune-forged gear.
- Warbound Horde: brutal orcs that grow stronger as blood is spilled.
- Jade Cloister: swift monks who control the board with speed and teleportation.
HOW YOU CAN PLAY
- Single Player against an AI opponent.
- Pass & Play: two players, one device.
- Online: asynchronous turn-based matches through Game Center. Take your turn, put the phone down, and come back when your opponent has moved.
EVERYTHING YOU DO IS ANIMATED
Every attack, spell and heal plays out in a close-up battle panel between the team banners, with hand-painted art, a moody original soundtrack and sound effects. Tap the action wheel to take back a move before you end your turn.
FREE TO START, FAIR TO KEEP
Ashen Order and Crimson Host are free forever, with every game mode unlocked. Brass Company, Stonehold Clans, Warbound Horde and Jade Cloister are optional one-time purchases, and a discounted bundle unlocks all four. Your opponent never needs to own a team to face it. No ads. No subscriptions. No data collection.
Game Center is required for online matches only.
