Set in a stylized futuristic cyberpunk world, Farsiders is a real-time top-down hack-and-slash adventure/RPG based on real world Arthurian legends.

All the story-driven action is set in a stylized futuristic cyberpunk world abundant with technology and magic, where time travel is one of the core elements of the storyline. Players adventure through an intense story to meet legendary heroes, discover new spell cards, battle and perform various fancy fighting skills against historical villains, and save the world from this new imminent threat.

Play as Cassie and set on a journey between past and present in a world filled with technology and magic. Meet legendary heroes, discover new spell cards, fight and performs various fancy fighting skills against historical villains, and save the world from these new imminent threats.

Cassandra or Cassie, the Spectralon’s youngest member, just recently got appointed with her first mission to investigate the abandoned island. This is where she encountered the notorious group of terrorists called The Soul Syndicate.

Unleash your skills and face over 30 different types of enemies, and fight against thrilling bosses with unforgettable unique mechanics throughout the game.

Technology and magic are the cornerstones of survival in this game. Upgrading these two elements can greatly enhance Cassie's stats and give her a fighting chance against the toughest enemies.


Developer GambitGhost Studio has launched a Farsiders Kickstarter campaign which runs from April 5th, 2023 to May 5th, 2023, looking to raise $30,190.

Backers will be entitled to a range of exclusive and limited rewards, based on a tiered approach. These rewards comprise special skins and early access, limited collectable Farsiders cards, a Farsiders eco-blanket, or even their own non-playable characters (NPC) within the game.

Farsiders is committed to involving their newly built community in perfecting the game - the Alpha test has been completed in February 2023. With extremely valuable feedback from the community during the Alpha Test, the studio is determined to go the extra mile in developing more features, and making the user experience even more immersive and enjoyable. The goal of the Kickstarter campaign is to generate extra funds for these extra features, to enhance certain gameplay mechanics like animations and combat.

Developed by Spectra’s research team, weapon attachments will give a unique passive upgrade to the corresponding weapon it’s attached to which will result in a new user experience.

In this miraculous age, there is this magical energy flow called Anima. 18 condensed Anima are waiting to be unlocked through Cassie’s adventure. Cassie can also manipulate this energy around her by using Aether, the magic container in the form of a Skill Tree to enhance her ability to use magic more effectively.


And when becoming a Farsider, Cassie can even use Spell cards from Tellune! Spell cards are one of the creations to channel Anima’s energy into action, each card can be used in 3 different ways according to where Cassie places her card.

  • Active Spell Card - Channel Anima through the card to use as an active skill
  • Weapon Spell Card - Use the card to enhance weapons with passive elemental
  • Dash Spell Card - Use the card to enhance the Exo-suit, giving Cassie the ability to dash with passive elemental magic.
