About the Game

Aura is an action-adventure dungeon crawler where you play as a powerful young sorcerer named Aura, the last hope for restoring balance to dungeons slipping into chaos.

Deep beneath the surface, mysterious portals have spiraled out of control, flooding ancient dungeons with dangerous creatures. As Aura, you must descend into these ever-changing depths, battle relentless enemies, and uncover the source of the corruption threatening the realm.

Fight your way through dark and treacherous dungeons, mastering magic and surviving increasingly deadly encounters. Grow stronger with every battle by leveling up, then customize your playstyle by spending attribute points to enhance your core stats and spell points to unlock and empower devastating magical abilities.

Along your journey, a curious and wise mushroom companion will appear to guide you, offering helpful tips, hints, and encouragement when you need it most.

Explore. Fight. Grow stronger.
Restore order to the dungeons in Aura.
