Renowned Explorers: International Society is a strategy adventure game set in a fictitious 19th century world, the Age of Discovery.

Take command of a hand-picked group of diverse explorers and travel across the globe in search of legendary treasures while staying ahead of your rivals. Earn prestige in the Renowned Explorers International Society and become the world's most Renowned Explorer!

Visit lost temples, forgotten cities and untamed wilderness to discover magnificent treasures. Find your way past wolves, smugglers and angry natives to become known as a fearless explorer. Every expedition has challenging encounters and your nemesis Rivaleux will take any chance to thwart your efforts.

Select your band of adventurers carefully! Each of the 20 explorers has their own expertise and character traits when dealing with conflicts. Choose among Fighters, Scouts, Speakers and Scientists and find out the best way to use their talents.

Acquire knowledge, get rich, or become famous by completing procedurally generated expeditions. Use these resources to get the skills, support and equipment you need for your next endeavor.


Approach the natives consciously when running into a conflict;

  • Fight them with Melee, Ranged and Area of Effect attacks,
  • win them over using Cheers, Charms and Compliments,
  • or scare them away by Insults, Taunts and Humiliation

Every encounter is a new challenge with many solutions and it's up to you to build a reputation. Are you a diplomat, a schemer or a fighter..?

The blend of strategy and adventure in a game is a rare combination nowadays. Abbey Games has filled this gap with Renowned Explorers, that features an in-depth and well thought-out game design.

The alluring ‘Attitude-based gameplay’, where your approach towards the natives can have repercussions in the future, combined with the strategic decision-making actions and procedural generated locations make the game a one of a kind. Co-founder Manuel Kerssemakers explains: ‘Surprising players with an intriguing and innovative game-play is of utmost importance to us. Each adventure encompasses unique encounters that have a large variety of resolutions. This ensures the replayability is essentially limitless’.
