A PERFECT COMBO
Merging the best of Roguelite and Deckbuilding, Arcanium is an epic, ambitious, open-world single-player strategy game. Form a party of three heroes and embark on a dangerous journey in order to defeat Akhan the Calamity, and save the world of Arzu from destruction.

OPEN WORLD DUNGEON CRAWLER
Roam freely inside a vast, fully procedural 3D map, but keep an eye on the Threat meter. The longer you stay in a Province, the harder the enemies get. Forge a path wisely, the choices you make have a lasting impact on the rest of your run.
UNIQUE TURN-BASED COMBAT
Strategize your attack on every turn, coordinating unique skills between all three heroes in your team. The innovative combat system is easy to learn while offering tremendous strategic depth.
PARTY OF THREE
Control a party of three heroes on the battlefield, each with their own skills (and ultimate abilities), equipment, and upgrades. Swap heroes in battle, allowing the healthier heroes to step in front of the incoming damage and protect your more fragile party members.
HERO UNLOCKS
Play with many unique heroes with varying mechanics and themes to keep you brainstorming new combinations. Each has a unique starting deck of Ability cards that fits one of 6 classes. Triple-supports? All ranged Abilities? Damage-over-time heavy? Anything goes! Find the play style that works for you.
RPG-STYLE LOOTING
Find powerful artifacts, gain new skills from cards, learn cross-character abilities, and discover consumable items throughout your journeys. You can edit your Heroes' ability decks and equipment rosters at any time outside of combat.
