Stranded on Earth The Starborn MMORPG in your browserTwelve winters ago the sky above the Echowood tore open. Out of the scar fell the arks of the Starborn – refugees from a devoured world. Their shards have been singing deep in the tunnels ever since. As a Keeper you take in the stranded – together with every other player in one shared world: in the Overworld with its four regions, in the Underworld – and against the World-Eater.
Echolon is an online role-playing game for many players at once. You meet other Keepers on the road, delve into the depths together, trade, found a guild and compete – all on one shared server, right in your browser.
Two ways to play in one game: in the Overworld you collect Starborn and fight tactical turn-based battles, 3 against 3. Below, in the Underworld where the ark shards sing, you face the hordes of the Brood in real time – like in a survivor game.
Wild Starborn roam where you can see them, villages full of life, stables in the capitals, professions, trade and quests – in four regions modelled on real landscapes. Turn-based 3v3 battles with tank, attacker and healer.
Caves as survivor runs: your attacks fire on their own while you dodge hordes, collect loot and pick new powers at every level-up. Solo, as a group of four or in a raid.
Every region has its own face – houses, trees, flowers and animals modelled on real landscapes, in pixel art with a dash of stardust.
A gloomy Black Forest: firs, brooks, mills, charcoal kilns and farmhouses with enormous hipped roofs. This is where the first stars fell.
The Alps in winter: chalets with stone roofs, onion domes, golden larches, summit crosses, chamois and circling bearded vultures.
The Volcanic Eifel: black maars, smoking cinder cones, basalt crosses, juniper heaths with heath sheep and rubble-stone houses under slate.
A crater like the Nördlinger Ries: feather grass, storks, suevite full of star glass and a round town with stepped gables – under a sky full of stars.
Wild Starborn roam the wilds in plain sight – some alone, some in packs. Exhausted ones you take into the light of your lantern. Every one is different: rarity, traits, stats.
Each of the 139 families has its own design – an animal, a fantasy creature or an enchanted thing from its region. The bark kid grows into a root behemoth, the star foal into a winged star steed, the little armoured fish into a leviathan of the crater lakes.
Found a Keeper guild, pick a tag and banner – and challenge another guild. For five minutes each side levels up in its own gorge, then Banner Peak opens: whoever holds the circle alone scores points.
Echolon is free. During the beta there are no real-money purchases – and later only looks, never power.
An MMORPG – an online role-playing game in which all players share the same world. It combines two ways to play: collecting Starborn and training them in tactical turn-based 3v3 battles (Overworld), and surviving hordes in real time (Underworld). On top of that you join others in caves and raids, trade on the marketplace and lead your guild into the Guild War. It runs right in your browser, no install needed.
Yes. The game and this website are available in English and German – in the game under Menu → Options → Language, on this website at the top right (DE | EN). Everyone plays in the same world.
Nothing. Echolon is completely free during the open beta, and there are no real-money purchases. If any are added later, they will be for looks only – without loot boxes and without gameplay advantages.
Not guaranteed during the beta: the world may be reset for updates (a “wipe”). Accounts are kept. More in the terms of use.
One account per person, no bots or cheat software, report bugs instead of exploiting them, treat others with respect in chat. Everything else is in the game rules.
No, Echolon runs in your browser. On a phone you can use “Add to Home Screen” to launch it like an app.
On PC with keyboard, mouse or controller, and on phones and tablets with touch controls. Landscape mode recommended.
Yes: groups of up to four Keepers, guilds with guild chat, duels, trading, joint expeditions, raids and the Guild War.
When you create your account you receive a recovery code once (no e-mail needed). With it you set a new password under “Play” → “Forgot password?”. You can create a new code in the game under Menu → Options → Recovery code.
Settings are stored only on your device. Switched off touch by accident? Tap the screen three times quickly. Or open the game via /spielen?einstellungen=zurueck – this resets the settings on this device.
An ark has shattered outside Dornhag. Five cradles have cracked open. One of them is yours.
