About the Game

Having condemned their homeworld, the Memges made the planet Zimi their last hope. But this refuge has rebelled. Their efforts to cultivate, build, and preserve life proved poisonous to the Umbra Morfes, unleashing a generation of mutant horrors created by the twisted fusion of the native Umbra with the colonists themselves and their chimeras. These monsters emerge from the Umbral Rifts, forcing you into a war of survival where there is no moral victory: you must destroy the planet's ancestral inhabitants to secure the future of your race.

Umbra Morfes is a combination of role-playing game and wargame, with solo, cooperative, and arena modes where players can compete against each other, either in teams or one-on-one. Its unique terrain creation system, based on hexagonal tiles, allows players to design dynamic, customizable maps. Additionally, the game includes cards that grant new abilities to heroes, ensuring that each adventure is completely different.

Create your terrain map, choose a character, and place it on the space truck tile. You’ll start with basic abilities, but as you defeat creatures and gain experience, you’ll unlock new skills and improve your character's stats with better modifiers. Choose from six unique heroes, each fitting different playstyles, whether you prefer dealing heavy damage, strategic ranged attacks, healing, or tanking.

The mission of the Heroes is to seal the umbral Rifts, cracks that connect to Zimi’s inner layers, where the Umbra Morfes reside. Only by doing so can the Memges create an optimal ecosystem for life, ensuring water, air, and vegetation — elements that are deadly to the Umbra Morfes.

The game ends without victory if your life points are below 0. The game ends with victory if you complete all the objectives.
