Building through the eras
Twenty-one plots to fill as you choose. Every building evolves through ten eras, from thatch and logs to cut stone and terracotta.
Strategy on your phone
Your village. Your commander. Your domain.
Raise a village from thatch to cut stone, create the hero who will lead your people, train an army and conquer hamlets in a world that never resets.
Free to play. Testing starts on Google Play.
Strategy without rush and without resets
Tefra is asynchronous strategy: you give the orders, close the game and your village keeps working. Buildings finish, resources pile up and troops march while you get on with your life. The world is persistent: the village you found today is still yours tomorrow, next month and next year.
Four resources
Woods, quarries, iron mines and fields around the village produce wood, stone, iron and provisions, even while the game is closed.
Your commander
Pick your hero's face, hair and marks, send them on adventures and equip gear found along the way or forged in your own Forge.
Nine troop types
Phalanxes, swordsmen, light riders, rams and catapults. Watch your platoon march across the map, reach the wall and head back home.
Hamlets to conquer
Clear bandits out of hamlets, plant your banner and found up to five villages across the North, South, East or West.
Guilds and chat
Alliances, chat and trading between players are on the way.
From the first hut to a domain
A new account starts with just the main building at the heart of the village. The rest is up to you: warehouse, granary, mill, market, barracks, forge and wall, each one levelling up and changing its look with every era.
- One construction at a time, in real time.
- Speed things up whenever you like with coins or by watching an optional ad.
- Your starting village is protected: it never turns into ruins.
A hero to lead
Create your commander, male or female, piece by piece. They rise to level 10, spend points on combat, attack, defence and resources, and set out on adventures through forests, mountains, mines and abandoned villages.
There are 1,800 pieces of equipment across nine slots, five styles and four rarities. Wear pieces of the same style to earn set bonuses.
Made for your phone, held upright
Everything fits in one hand: the village, the world map, your orders and your hero, each one tap away on the bottom bar.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
The game is free. You can speed up buildings, adventures and the forge with in-game coins or by watching ads, always by your own choice. No ad ever appears unless you ask for it.
When will it be in the stores?
The first tests run on Google Play. The iPhone version follows on the App Store. The buttons on this page will work as soon as each store releases the game.
Do I need an account?
No. The game creates a guest account on your device the first time you open it. Signing in with Google or Apple, to keep your progress on another device, comes later.
Does the world reset?
No. Tefra is a persistent world: there are no rounds or seasons that wipe what you built.
