About
Drehmal: APOTHEOSIS is a massive, one of a kind open world sandbox game built entirely within Minecraft, with a heavy emphasis on exploration, freedom, survival, and narrative.
Explore A Vast, Detailed, Natural World
The Realm of Drehmal is a huge, 12k x 12k block mythic fantasy world filled with handcrafted, diverse biomes, each encouraging exploration of their farthest reaches and furtive secrets. You will find yourself lost in orange-dusted savannas, fertile river valleys, dead ashen crags, crystal-infested forests, lush tundras, floating islands above a dead sea, twisting coastal rainforests, dead coral mountains, and dozens more, each uplifted by thousands of years of written history, making each peak you summit and hamlet you visit all the more real.
Discover Villages, Cities, Dungeons, Castles, And More
While Drehmal is massive, it’s still filled to the brim with over a thousand unique, purposefully designed structures. Be it an abandoned hut that tells a small story, coastal towns with special traders, ruined altars of a dead civilization, or the towering obsidian palace of a raging god, there is always something new to find. Each experience strives to be unique; fight through waves of enemies, uncover the mystery of an ancient ruin, slay a spear-throwing sea serpent, or solve a brain-twisting puzzle. No matter where you are, there’s always something new to do.
Find And Utilize Mythical Equipment
Trade for powerful blades or find them yourself, Drehmal has hundreds of rare, special equipment to find. Common Artifact and Artisan gear offer robust boosts to your character, and rarer Legendaries may grant unique bonuses such as life steal or freezing enemies. Coveted Mythical weapons may also be found, but only by the most stalwart of adventurers, as realm-ending strength could ever only be hidden behind cryptic mysteries or deep within strongholds of divine power.
Unravel Thousands Of Years Of History
Drehmal is not just a fun sandbox to dive into - it is a fully realized fantasy setting with layers upon layers of deep, multifaceted history. You play as a high ranking officer of the dead Avsohmic Empire, kept frozen in time for a thousand years, only to re-enter a wildly different world with no memory of who you were or what your past self accomplished. You set out to uncover not only why your empire mysteriously fell in a single day, but also what has happened since, what transpired before even Avsohm, and maybe even the secrets of a primordial past.
Survive, Build, And Thrive
Drehmal utilizes the game of Minecraft to its fullest extent by being playable almost entirely in survival. You can smash through the terrain as you see fit, dig straight through imposing castle walls, or fill the world with your own structures, be it a cute farmhouse or an insane redstone contraption. Some players even take to rebuilding the ruins dotted around the landscape. The world is yours to build or destroy, just like in vanilla Minecraft.
Play Alone Or With Friends
Drehmal is 100% multiplayer compatible - you can play the entire experience, start to finish, with up to eight friends. Or, you can play it solo if you’d rather go at your own pace.
A Completely Original Soundtrack
With over 50 original tracks composed by Chris Nesja, with two contributions from Penngo, Drehmal has a song for nearly every location.
