About the Game

Aethershot is a 2D top-down rogue-lite where you can craft and fire off your own spells! Fast paced combat and dungeon delving are the main focus. Delve deep into the temple's trial grounds to improve yourself and discover why they have suddenly started spewing out monsters! With each floor the enemies get harder but the rewards greater! The main feature is a modular spell crafting system allowing for many different spells and builds, with even more to come. There are currently 6 spell types, 5 elements and over 100 upgrades to make them your own!

The Cataclysm Restoration Team has been hard at work repairing the damage to the Skarred Wilds, but their most recent project has proven to be more tricky than expected! While restoring a temple dedicated to Masrong, the god of redemption, hordes of monsters started spewing out from the trial grounds beneath the main temple. A lone Robun has been sent to protect the team and solve the mysteries of the temple by delving into the trials below!

Runes and materials can be found within the trials, and while the runes crumble upon leaving, the materials can be used to make permanent versions of any rune they've collected to take in for the next delve into the trials. They'll need to take advantage of this to face the deepest levels of the ever-expanding trials...
