About the Game

EVERYTHING IS MOVEMENT

Teleportation as Your Primary Weapon

Teleport. Swap. Strike.
Frakt lets you teleport and swap positions with enemies through perfect symmetry, dealing damage as space itself collapses around them. Use it to reposition instantly, turn enemy attacks against them, and bend the battlefield to your will.

Every fight becomes a fast-paced puzzle of anticipation and reflexes.

GEAR

A powerful runic circle that mirrors everything inside it.
Enemies, projectiles, even you—position is never fixed. Activate Gear to rewrite the rules of combat in an instant and create deadly, unexpected outcomes

SPEAR

Purple Fox is never without his trusted spear.
It can pierce the thickest armor, split incoming projectiles, and turn enemy fire into new opportunities for devastation—all while keeping Purple Fox safe in the heart of the chaos.

RUNES

Your spellbook grows with every run, but true power lies in mastering Ancient Runes.
Each different type of attack you land activates a Rune. Chain varied abilities to stack Runes, then release their energy in a cataclysmic burst.

The more Runes you invoke, the greater the destruction.
Witness Frakt empowered by a couple ofRunes:

EVERY RUN MATTERS

Each Ascension is different:

  • New combinations of spells and upgrades

  • Meet enemies and heroes from past Ascension attempts

  • Arenas that demand constant movement and calculated risk

Death is not failure.
It’s a step toward mastery.

THE TRIBUNAL OF ASCENSION — STORY IN THE BACKGROUND

In this world, some powers never die.
They are passed on.
They grow stronger.

Purple Fox carries an ancient power…
too ancient to remain hidden.

To keep it out of the hands of those who seek it, there is only one path:
complete the Ascension.

The Tribunal of Ascension is a mythical trial, reserved for those who dare to become more than mortal.

THE JOURNEY HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN

Purple Fox continues to evolve.

New spells are currently in development to enable unique and customizable builds. Combine your powers, experiment with new synergies, and shape a playstyle that truly reflects the way you want to play.

We are also creating new environments, new challenges, and new encounters to make every Ascension even more exciting and varied.
