  • Olympus Rangers announcement

    Olympus Rangers is coming to Steam!

    The ultimate turn-based battle simulator is coming to Steam. Discover Olympus Rangers, build your team of Olys, customize your strategy, and prepare to take on the Olympus.

    Olympus Rangers is the ultimate turn-based battle simulator, where players can create their own strategies, manage their team of Olys, and face dozens of opponents across a wide variety of battle modes. Whether you want to experiment with team building, study battle systems in depth, or compete against others locally and online, Olympus Rangers is designed to give you the freedom to play your way.

    At the heart of the game are the Olys, special creatures that can be fully customized to match your strategy. Players will be able to choose from up to 60 Olys and modify their stats, moves, passive abilities, and the Pill they carry into battle. Depending on how you build them, each Oly can become a very different part of your team.

    Olys are divided into categories based on their overall power:

    • Light, for the weakest Olys, with a total stat cap of 200 points
    • Heavy, for balanced mid-tier Olys
    • Super Heavy, for the strongest Olys, with no stat cap
    • Free, where everyone is allowed

    One of the game’s signature mechanics is the Assist System, which lets you call an extra Oly into battle to support your main one. Every Oly has its own assist move, and even passive abilities can activate when an assist is called. Choosing the right moment to use an assist can completely change the flow of a match.

    Olympus Rangers also offers a wide range of battle modes, each with its own twist:

    • League Mode, where you fight through multiple opponents in a row to claim the champion title
    • Trade Battle, where fainted units are discarded and replaced, making every match a risk
    • Random Battle, with randomized teams
    • Impossible Battle, with randomized moves and abilities
    • Contest Battle, where you must satisfy the cheering crowd or lose
    • Endless Mode, where you keep fighting until defeat
    • Free Battles, where you can set your own rules and create the battle experience you want

    Battle rules are also highly customizable across local multiplayer, online lobbies, and free battle mode. Players can decide how effective moves behave, what happens when a move misses, whether switching and attacking can happen in the same turn, and even whether assists should be allowed. Olympus Rangers is built to let players shape battles to their own preferences.

    Beyond the battles themselves, Olympus Rangers also gives players the tools to truly understand its systems. The game features a full set of study and research options, including:

    • Oly Shelf, to study each Oly’s stats, abilities, and usable moves
    • Move Shelf, to review powers and secondary effects
    • Ability Shelf, to learn each passive trait
    • Pill Shelf, to understand the boosters Olys can carry
    • Damage Calculator, to prepare strategies in advance
    • Academy, where players can learn status effects, field effects, mechanics, and interactions

    Players will also be able to customize their own avatar, including hair, face, eyes, colors, and clothing.

    And for those who want to go even further, modding support will be a major part of Olympus Rangers. Olys, moves, abilities, pills, single-player opponents, and avatar content can all be expanded and edited, giving the community the chance to shape their own experience and share creations with others.

    Olympus Rangers will include:

    • Single-player
    • Online PvP
    • Shared/Split Screen PvP
    • Steam Achievements
    • Steam Workshop
    • Steam Cloud
    • Remote Play Together
    • Full Controller Support

    The game is being developed by Mechano and Jandusoft.

    You can now visit the official Steam page and wishlist Olympus Rangers to stay updated on future news and announcements.

  • What are Olys?

    What are Olys?

    Discover the heart of Olympus Rangers

    Olys are special creatures that live all around the world. Although they are now a familiar part of everyday life, things were not always this way. In the past, Olys were hostile towards humans. Over time, however, we learned how to tame them and eventually found a way to coexist.

    Twenty years ago, the Ranger Foundation was created with an important mission: to investigate and protect the Olys, while also helping humans and Olys better understand one another. Since then, that relationship has continued to grow.

    As part of this effort, the Olympus was created: a place where everyone can come and interact with Olys. It is not only a place to play, but also a place to learn more about them. In the Olympus, Rangers can choose from any available Oly and fully customize it to fit their strategy, making it an important space for research, experimentation, and discovery.

    Rangers are given special guns that are able to carry Olys. These tools allow them to fire an Oly into battle, or keep them safely with them when they are about to fade.

    More specifically, Olys are stored inside cylinder-shaped bullets known as Pills. The type of Pill used to store an Oly can affect its properties, adding another layer to how Olys are understood and used.

    Olys are much more than creatures for battle. They are an essential part of this world’s history, a key focus of research, and the center of the bond between humans and Rangers alike.

  • Meet Perrole

    Meet Perrole

    Every Oly has its own charm, and Perrole is one of the creatures that helps bring the world of Olympus Rangers to life.

    One of the most exciting parts of Olympus Rangers is discovering its creatures and learning what makes each one special. Today, we want to introduce one of them: Perrole.

    Perrole is always seen carrying a rag in its mouth. But this rag is more than just part of its appearance: it tells a story. The condition of the rag reflects how many battles Perrole has fought, making it a visible sign of its experience.
