Pokeborne

Pokémon, like you’ve never fought it.

Pokémon, rebuilt as an action game

Finally,
real boss fights
for Pokémon.

No menus. No turns. A legendary that reads you as hard as you read him, and every frame of his attack is yours to dodge.

Choose your Pokémon

Two fighters.
Two ways to fight.

A bō of pure aura. Lucario strikes from the tip, reads incoming blows and counters from behind the attacker. Aura is his fuel: fill the gauge, then spend it on Extreme Speed, Aura Sphere and an empowered Bone Rush.

  • Bone Rush
  • Aura Sphere
  • Extreme Speed
  • Aura counter
  • Mega Lucario Z

Hack n’ slash

Waves of Pokémon through the halls of Dragonspiral Tower. Blaziken carves through them in Muay Thai: real combos, cancels and executions, rendered live by the game’s engine.

One domain, one legendary per chapter

Climb the tower.
Then go down.

  1. Chapter I

    Dragonspiral Tower

    Climb a storm-lashed tower on foot, in three acts, through forks, Alphas and a Dominant Haxorus. At the summit, Zekrom waits in the lightning.

  2. Chapter II New

    The Well of Truth

    Zekrom falls, and the run goes on with everything you built. Ride a Team Plasma lift into a buried gothic city, flood the naves, short the cables, free the caged Pokémon. At the very bottom, Reshiram wakes: white flame first, then the Blue Flame.

FAQ

What is Pokeborne?

A 3D action roguelite fan game set in the Pokémon world. Play as Blaziken or Lucario, climb Dragonspiral Tower through waves of Pokémon up to Zekrom, then go down the Well of Truth to face Reshiram. Every run rebuilds the paths and the rewards.

When can I play?

The first playtest opens soon. Leave your email and we’ll write to you once, the day it opens.

What does it run on?

In the browser, on computer, tablet and phone. A controller is recommended (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch); keyboard and mouse work, and phones get touch controls. What you see on this page is the game’s own engine.

How does combat work?

Light and heavy chains, rolls that cancel into attacks, guard, and executions: stun an enemy, finish it, then chain up to three targets in slow motion. Blaziken burns, parries and charges his Blaze Kick; Lucario builds aura and counters from behind.

Can I play with friends?

Yes, online: one player opens a lobby, the others join with its code, up to four. Everyone plays their own Pokémon and keeps their own rewards.

Is it official?

No. Pokeborne is an unofficial fan project, not affiliated with Nintendo, Creatures, GAME FREAK or The Pokémon Company.

What do you do with my email?

One email when the playtest opens, nothing else. You can ask for it to be deleted at any time. Privacy
