About the Game

FORGE YOUR DESTINY

Every decision changes the adventure. Every elemental gate you pass through will alter the creatures, events, rewards, and final boss. As you ascend the Arcane Tower, you will be the one to shape the ultimate enemy. Build a powerful spell deck, craft artifacts through alchemy, and adapt your strategy to overcome the challenge you yourself have forged.

CREATES POWERFUL COMBOS AND UNIQUE STRATEGIES

Each wizard will have his own combat style and multiple ways to defeat the enemies. Play your cards right and design your strategy to reach the top.

LEARN AND IMPROVE

Every defeat is just the beginning. Use the resources you’ve gathered from your failed attempts to forge relics of unimaginable power and challenge the tower once again. Unleash chaos by summoning demons, wield weapons of immense power, reconstruct the grimoires of ancient mages, and unleash the power of forbidden artifacts from hidden deities. The tower awaits you...

EACH FORAY INTO THE ARCANE TOWER IS UNIQUE AND EXCITING

The use of procedures, encounters with NPCs, events, card combinations along with the variety of enemies and bosses will make each game feel unique and refreshing.
