About the Game

Every century a mysterious castle appears, summoning all kinds of creatures and monsters that covet the power hidden within its walls. You step into the shoes of Ever, a skilled mage who can summon powerful Elementals to hack and slash her way through an adventure to awaken Aurora, the castle's guardian, and protect the magical fortress.

You’ll battle through rooms that defy realism, venture beyond the castle walls to aid friends in the outside forests, and meet new allies who join Ever on her quest.

Get ready for flashy, fast‑paced combat, directing Ever's Elemental powers to join you in every fight. Choose your team wisely—each Elemental can be leveled up to become stronger or to assist you with magical attacks. Ever herself gains new abilities as you progress, letting you customize her magic to match your play style. Casting fire, lightning, wind, and more, you destroy any intruder that tries to claim the castle’s secret.

The power must not fall into the wrong hands.

You’re not fighting alone. Elementals will help you against all manners of creatures. As you defeat enemies, you’ll level up your Elementals and shape them to fit your style—whether you favor a hard‑hitting front‑line squad or a team of long‑range spellcasters. Just remember, some foes resist certain attacks, so study their weaknesses and choose your Elementals wisely.

Equip heavy rock hammers, fire gauntlets, giant lightning swords, and other fearsome weapons to crush all monsters. Each of the seven Elementals comes with its own weapon, combat style, and magic attacks. You can also unlock new moves for Ever or chain weapons together to forge devastating combos.

Unleash high‑powered magic to throw, slam, impale, and shock every intruder in your castle. Each Elemental brings its own spells and unique super attacks that can eviscerate enemies or send them flying through the air. Use everything at your disposal to protect Aurora, the sleeping sorceress, and the castle.
