About This Game

Welcome to the Shattered Ruins.

Skyward Masters combines Arena FPS combat with Bedwars-style 4v4v4v4 strategy.

Four teams of four fight for dominance across a battlefield of floating islands that changes each match. Protect your own base, pressure enemy teams, gather resources, upgrade your squad — and destroy every opposing Core before they destroy yours.

Fast aim and movement will keep you alive.

Knowing where to fight, what to fight for, and when to strike will win you the match.

Control the map. Control the match.

The arena is built across floating islands, separated by open sky.

Use Holo-Bridges to create faster routes, rotate around enemy positions, open new attack paths and reach valuable objectives before the other teams.

But controlling the battlefield is about more than getting from A to B. Capture Biome Altars to earn temporary team buffs based on the biome you control — giving your team another reason to fight for territory instead of simply chasing kills.

And at the center of it all lies the Center Event. Secure it, and your team fires a devastating beam that immediately deals 50% of every opposing Core’s health in damage.

This is Bedwars-style Resource Wars — Every. Resource. Matters!

Better weapons. Stronger upgrades. A tougher Core.

Locate valuable ore deposits and call down Miners to generate resources for your team. Lower-tier resources such as Nebulite can be found close to your base, while the more valuable Voidsteel and Divinium are found deeper inside contested Neutral and Center Biomes.

Want the best gear? You’ll have to leave the safety of your base and fight for it.

And remember: resources never truly belong to you. Enemy teams can destroy your Miners, take control of the resource node and start mining it for themselves.

Kills matter! But kills alone won't win the match.

Every team begins with a Core inside their base. As long as that Core remains intact, eliminated players can respawn and return to the fight. This isn't your typical round-based Tactical FPS — this is Arena Shooter combat, reborn.

Break through the enemy defenses and destroy their Core, however, and their respawns are gone. From that moment forward, every death is permanent.

A team without a Core isn't necessarily finished. Surviving players can still fight, regroup — or pull off one final clutch.

And when the DANGER ZONE drops, respawns shut down for everyone and the remaining Masters are forced toward the center.

SUDDEN DEATH. LAST TEAM STANDING.

The battlefield changes between matches. So must your strategy.

From the frozen cliffs of Frostbite to the scorched landscapes of Obsidian, every match combines distinct floating biomes with their own terrain, routes and strategic opportunities.

Capture their Biome Altars to gain unique team buffs — from damage-over-time and on-hit slows to regeneration and shielding.

Adapt to the battlefield. Use it to your advantage.
