About the Game


Assemble a team of extraordinary creatures, build your influence, level up your mage, and discover powerful artifacts to recover the lost realms. Take on the role of mages that once ruled the world side by side, until it was usurped by a rebellious mage - Qorus. With the help of fantastic creatures and monsters, restore the world to its former order.

EXPLORE FANTASTIC WORLD


The unique combination of carefully designed locations with procedural generation makes the game world different every time and filled with interesting places. Complete quests to expand the world and permanently increase the pool of available locations, spells, and artifacts.

DETHRONED MAGES


Each mage once ruled their own realm. Now with much less influence, they want to regain what has been taken from them.
Each ex-ruler has a unique base skill and a set of possible development paths that unlock along with the experience gained during the game. For example, the necromancer can focus on summoning the dead, cursing enemies, or mixing these skills - you decide.

BOTTLED SPELLS


A well-chosen spell can single-handedly destroy the enemy team or save your units. Spells are essential to the game, but each is disposable, and you can only have a few at once. You must carefully choose when to use them.

FEATURES

  • 5 playable mages with different gameplay styles
