Summary

Ale & Axes: Beyond God's Trench is a free-to-play idle MMORPG that runs in the browser. Set in the fantasy world of Teya, it casts players as the leaders of a band of adventurers who venture into a dungeon in search of loot and progress. Players assemble squads of three characters and send them on raids that resolve over real time, with durations ranging from twelve hours to thirty days, then collect the rewards on their return while the game continues without active input. Ongoing progress comes from levelling characters, gathering resources, and advancing through a series of increasingly difficult zones. Combat is resolved automatically and is determined by pre-raid setup, including squad composition, positioning, class-based enemy counters, and ability loadouts, with a turn-by-turn combat log and per-character statistics shown after each raid. The game uses a crafting-driven economy in which players produce their own gear from gathered materials and recipes across a range of gathering and crafting professions, then trade items on an in-game auction house. Further systems include gear enchanting, multi-phase world bosses, an asynchronous player-versus-player arena with normalised stats, monthly leaderboards, and character building across nine classes with configurable attributes and abilities.
