Build the army. Break the bastion.Bastion Rivals is a competitive fantasy strategy game where your buildings shape the battle. Command a builder, invest in your economy and unleash armies that march and fight automatically. Reinforce two lanes, counter your rival's forces and strike before your stronghold falls.
Four factions. Four ways to fight.Choose the armored Iron Covenant, the fierce Redfang Clans, the sinister Hollow Court or the living guardians of the Verdant Oath. Each faction brings its own structures, units and visual identity. Build and upgrade troop producers, combine unit types and turn the tide with spells, items and rescue abilities.
Your rival is waitingRanked and unranked online multiplayer in 1v1 and 2v2 are planned for launch. Queue solo or bring a teammate into 2v2. Fight for rating in ranked, try a different strategy in unranked, or challenge friends through custom and Steam lobbies. LAN battles offer a separate way to play together.Climb from Wood to Legend
Ranked play uses Elo: a new rating starts at 1,000, and your emblem stays Unranked until your first completed ranked match. Wins increase your rating and losses reduce it, with the adjustment based on the opposing team's average rating. Beating stronger opposition offers a larger potential gain. In an evenly matched game, the change is about 16 Elo; it is not a fixed reward for every match.
Wood — below 1,000 Elo.
Bronze — 1,000–1,199 Elo.
Silver — 1,200–1,399 Elo.
Gold — 1,400–1,599 Elo.
Master — 1,600–1,799 Elo.
Legend — 1,800 Elo and above.
Your emblem follows your rating on the selected ladder. In-game leaderboards track overall, 1v1, 2v2 and faction ratings separately, with wins and games played. Only server-confirmed ranked results change Elo. Unranked, custom, LAN and tournament matches leave ranked ratings untouched.Bring the competitionBuilt for head-to-head strategy and community esports competition: create free 4-, 8- or 16-entry tournaments in 1v1 or 2v2, with best-of-1, 3 or 5 series and brackets that advance from server-confirmed results. Teamwork, production timing and the right counter can decide the siege.
Prepare for your next rivalLearn in the guided tutorial, practice counters and play solo against AI in 1v1, 2v2 or 3v3 setups. Explore the faction compendium, review battles and save a solo game to return later. Steam achievements and Steam Cloud support your solo progression.
Online matchmaking, ratings and community tournaments require an internet connection and the Bastion Rivals online service. Designed for mouse and keyboard.
