Fade is a competitive PvP knight duel game where players wager real in-game gold against real opponents inside a 3D castle arena. Every duel is zero-sum: the winner takes the loser's gold. There are no microtransactions and no way to buy more gold.

How does combat work in Fade?

Players allocate 99 stat points across Attack, Strength, and Defense, pick one of four weapons (sword, axe, spear, or mace), then trade attack, special, parry and block actions. Each action costs stamina, and a knight that runs out is fatigued. Combat continues until a knight falls or sudden death triggers on round seven.

No. Fade has zero microtransactions. Every player starts with 1,000 gold and there is no way to purchase more. Gold can only be earned by winning duels or completing challenges. The only purchases available are cosmetic heraldry items.

What game modes does Fade have?

Fade has four game modes: PvP Duels (wager gold against real players), Boss Gauntlet (fight 5 sequential bosses daily), The Depths (endless dungeon with escalating enemies and multiplying payouts), and Daily Challenges (earn bonus gold through specific objectives).

What platforms is Fade available on?

Fade is available as a free download on iOS through the Apple App Store, and can also be played on web browsers.
