Rising Army celebrates the Medieval Age with a 33% sale off.
Commanders, are you ready to lead your army without taking yourselves too seriously? :D
Rising Army is a strategy auto-battler game where you can train and equip every single troop, upgrade your camp, and recruit new warriors. Experience a campaign in an open world and take on epic battles.
Greetings, Commanders of the Rising Army, To mark the arrival of the Medieval Festival here on Steam, the King is delighted to announce that the era of the Big Update has arrived!
We have taken on board much of the feedback we have received, both from the community and from some of the negative but constructive reviews.
In this update, we have worked not only on further general game balancing, but also on expanding the variety of content (particularly new mission types) and on further quality-of-life improvements.
Here you can find the latest additions to the game:
As a small team of just two people, we’re doing our best to keep making the game even better!
We would like to thank everyone who is supporting us by purchasing the game and sharing gameplay videos on various social media platforms :) :) :)
We are planning to add further languages, including Japanese and Chinese. We hope to be able to provide further updates soon!
Starting a new game is recommended so you can enjoy the new gameplay experience from the very beginning, but it is not mandatory.
The Arkbits Team!
Work continues in the royal kitchens on the game update for the Medieval Festival.
Building Repair Mechanics: Life in the camp will now be a little more complicated; buildings can become damaged after X days of use and will need to be repaired in order to be used.
New mission types: fetch and return, escort the caravan!
New game mode: Sandbox Mode, where you decide how long your game will last. Only in this mode will you be able to tackle Level 5 missions (the hardest in the game).
Save slots are divided between Campaign Mode and Sandbox Mode.
Improved the balance of the bandit threat.
If you fail a mission now, your resources and items in your stash will be looted.
These updates are intended as a preview and are not available yet in the current version.
A tempting aroma wafts from the royal kitchens.
We are working on a major update to the game ahead of the upcoming Medieval Festival on Steam.
Here is a sneak peek at some of the content that will soon be added to the game:
As the days go by at camp, something might just happen! Various types of events have been added, linked to the troops, their traits or specific requests from the King.
The troops will now... speak! In difficult conditions, they will utter a few words to give the commander a clear indication of their state of health and to make them seem more 'alive'.
You’ll be able to appoint captains!
In every city, you’ll find a barber where you can customise your troops’ heads.
To further enhance quality of life, the option to gather everyone around the fire by removing them from any assigned building will be added.
These updates are intended as a preview and are not available yet in the current version.
New recipes have already arrived in our kitchens. Stay tuned for further updates :)
Hey Warbands Leader!
We’re thrilled to announce that Rising Army and Gobs and Gods have decided to join forces!
What the heck is this "Expendable Warband Collection"?
It’s the crossover nobody asked for, but everyone deserves :D
On one hand, Rising Army, where you can build a massive army... at least until you run out of wood or the King’s patience.
On the other, Gobs and Gods, where you throw goblins at your enemies and hope the gods are on your side (spoiler: they usually aren’t).
If commanding a horde of desperate, anything-goes warriors is your thing, this is your moment!
Hi Commanders, and happy #TurnBasedThursdayFest to everyone!
This festival weekend is your last chance to get Rising Army at 20% off.
Messengers depart from Goosewick riding swiftly to spread the news. "The war council worked day and night to make the campaigns more balanced!" Balance of Power updates: - Patch Note 0.1a - Patch Note 0.1b
We would like to thank everyone who is supporting us in improving our product!
We are a small team of two people, a developer and an artist, who are putting a lot of passion into this project.
Some updates to the game will be coming soon, so stay tuned!
Remember that if you have played the demo or playtest, it is highly recommended that you delete them from your hard drive.
Messengers from across the kingdom bring news
The King never expected the new generals to be so prepared!
For this reason, the royal scribes and war counsellors have worked night and day to make the campaign more challenging.
- New balancing of tasks spawn.
- New balancing of the game's overall economy.
- New balancing of battles.
The war has just begun! A NEW FRESH START IS HIGLY RECOMMENDEED.
Rising Army is now available on Steam!
Commander, ready to lead your army?
If you have played the demo or playtest, it is highly recommended that you delete them from your hard drive before installing the final version. Starting New Campaign is mandatory ;)
The tireless and industrious Goblins have not been idle, and something new has begun to take shape in their workshops!
Skill System during Battles: Now, during battles, you will be able to use certain skills to turn the tide of battle. Be careful, though, as skills will cost resources, and your enemy will be able to use them too!
New Quests System: The missions will now have an important change. There will be royal tasks given by the King and his subordinates, and local tasks given by the locals. Royal tasks will be the only ones to guarantee you the King's Pleasure, while local tasks will guarantee you resources. This will allow for better balance and progression throughout the game. But that's not all! In addition to single-battle missions, there will be step missions, which will see Commanders engaged in different stages of battle. You will need to plan the deployment of your troops carefully!
Equipment now based on troops' level: Until now, anyone could equip anything in the demo, but that will no longer be the case! Equipment will have a required troop level in order to be equipped!
More than 50 weapons and 50 armors: The final version will feature more than 50 weapons and 50 armors! You can have fun customising your troops!
Start Closed Beta Today: The closed beta starts today! Join our Discord to learn more and apply to participate as a Beta Tester.
New Steam Capsule: New splash art for Steam that will also be featured in the game!
New Main Theme: New customised main theme at the start of the game!
* These updates will not be included in the current playable demo, but will only be available in the final version of the game. *
The rumours coming from the Desolate Hills seemed to be true.
The industrious Goblins were indeed working on something new!
Preset formations available to speed up deployment operations.
Tactics tactics tactics: system of orders assignable to each individual unit.
Many of the new features for QoF improvement and overall balance come from your valuable feedback, which is helping us in the development of the game.
If you would like to follow developments closely and contribute your feedback, we invite you to join our Discord server.
... but from the Desolate Hills, the sounds of Goblin industry seem never to cease ...
* These updates will not be included in the current playable demo, but will only be available in the final version of the game. *
Well, here we are, announcing the game's release delay like one of those big development houses! The new release date will be Q1 2026.
We need more time to add some important features and further polish bugs and Quality of Life!
We hope you can understand the sacrifices made by a small team of just two people!
From the high peaks of IronPeak, a royal messenger pushes his way through the crowd to climb onto a wooden crate that creaks ominously. Clearing his throat, he begins to shout:
Greater depth, if we want to call it that, has been introduced into a strategy that does not take itself too seriously, through the Traits of the troops. Each troop can have up to a maximum of 3 traits randomly generated by the game.
We are breathing new life into the map. New pieces have been introduced: the Wandering Merchant and the recruitable Angry Farmers.
In the demo, the death of troops has always been permanent, with no possibility of returning to life. In the final version, it will be possible to resurrect some of your heroes who have fallen in battle thanks to a new structure: the Graveyard.
A good Commander is someone who has talent... or develops it battle after battle: the progression system arrives via Talents that can be unlocked with Glory Points acquired after each battle.
Among the various unlockable Talents, there will be one that unlocks Battle buildings. In the final version, battles will be more complex and entertaining, giving players the chance to build powerful ballistas, imposing turrets, etc.
The most exciting new feature: pyjamas!
Some minor fixes to gameplay and UI.
With his last breath, the messenger rolls up the papyrus, hysterically adjusts his cloak, and comments:
Strange rumors are spreading through the streets of the smaller towns. They say that in the Desolate Hills, groups of industrious Goblins are already at work on something new...
* These updates will not be included in the current playable demo, but will only be available in the final version of the game. *
To all promising Commanders,
The King would like to thank you for playing the Rising Army Demo.
More than 3,000 Commanders have been busy satisfying your King with brawling and resource management.
Thank you especially for the extensive feedback you've given us.
The Rising Army Demo will remain available until the game's release if you'd like to continue trying it.
Expect many new features in 1.0.
*signed*

The demo of Rising Army has finally been released on Steam. I have to be honest… it hasn’t been an easy journey. Developing a strategy game on my own has often proved to be damn complicated, but I’m proud of the result achieved in this demo.
From now on, it will be interesting to gather your feedback and critiques, and continue working on additional mechanics that will be available from the full release.
Forward, Commanders! Deploy your finest formations!
