The Skies is a free-to-play post-apocalyptic MMORPG with shooter elements and a non-linear storyline, set in an open world which covers an area larger than 200 sq km. Players will carve out their own role in the vast regions and cities of The Skies with the fully customizable role system and strong focus on freedom of player choice.

The Skies’ Closed Beta has been a resounding success with players and journalists alike. Travis Crawford of ScionStormTV stated, “I did have fun roaming around with no linear gameplay. So I’m going to stick around in this one a little while. And keep an eye on it to see how it progresses.”

Suzie Ford of MMORPG.com talked about the early excitement surrounding The Skies, “Quickly getting the thumbs up on Steam Greenlight and generating chatter at IndieDb, The Skies seemed ready to claim its niche.”

The Lifetime Premium Package is the only package that is subscription-based but it is an incredible deal for those who really want to play The Skies. It will permanently unlock Premium, granting 50% more experience and gold from PvP battles, 30% increased experience and gold from PvE activities, 150% faster crafting speed, 2 additional crafting queue slots, armor customization options, and access to the closed testing environment and some early builds of new game elements.

The non-linear storyline of The Skies is based on the graphic novel by Game Designer Anton Paramonov, putting the player in charge of how they want to play. The game features a fully customizable role system which can be enhanced through crafting and production, a multi-level player-driven economy, PvP, Clan Wars, and Team vs Team Combat which provide the means to fight over territories. In addition there is a huge open world covering 12 sq km (3 sq miles) of gameplay area initially and providing the player with the freedom to explore, conquer, and save mankind.

About The Skies
The Skies is a mix of FPS and RPG adapted to a multiplayer game in a big post-apocalyptic world. Features include a unique role system, and economy that entirely depends on players, non-linear dialogs and quests, clan wars, PVP/TVT combats, and much, much more. This game has a different take on MMORPG because the storyline isn’t linear – it’s up to a player to create their own game reality and decide on their own role in it, which makes the game open to both solo and team players. The main rule is simple: each action leads to changes in different spheres of the game world: characters’ relations, events, etc. While a player is deeply immersed in the game world and trying to find their place there, other players constantly change it with their actions. Wars between clans, seizing or liberating cities and resource production and improvement of economic conditions depend on players.
