Dreadholm
A downloadable game for Windows
Fight your way through the cursed lands of Dreadholm, starting in the humble city of Ashvale in this dark fantasy isometric MMO. Team up with other players, take on quests, gear up, and explore.
The world is dangerous. Enemies hit hard, resources are scarce, and pulling more than you can handle will get you killed. Explore the overworld, hunt down goblin camps, clear skeleton-infested ruins, and when you're strong enough, descend into The Catacombs — a multiplayer dungeon where things get serious fast.
Three classes, three playstyles
- Warrior — plate armor, big swords, gets in your face. Can take hits but don't get cocky.
- Mage — glass cannon. Fireballs, frost nova, blink. High damage, low survivability. Position matters.
- **Ranger** — fast, mobile, ranged. Poison arrows, multi-shot, evasion. Kite or die.
What's in the game right now
- Open world with multiple enemy zones scaled from level 1-8+
- Real-time combat with abilities, cooldowns, and crit scaling
- Quest chains with story NPCs
- The Catacombs, an instanced multiplayer dungeon with a boss fight
- Party system for grouping up
- Loot drops, stackable inventory, equipment slots
- Stat point allocation (STR/DEX/INT/CON), build your character how you want
- Waypoint fast travel
- Shops for buying and selling gear
This is an early alpha. Things will break. Balance will shift. Progress might get wiped between major updates.
What to report
- Crashes or disconnects
- Quests that won't complete
- Anything that feels broken, unfair, or exploitable
- Stuff that's just confusing
