About the Game

Survive the Onslaught!

Fight through hordes of monster to break the seals and defeat the guardians before it is too late!

Craft Custom Spells!

In this game you do not unlock weapons or skills as you progress, instead, you unlock powerful arcane Runes.

Runes can be used to craft spells on the fly and can be changed and modified to your hearts content!

Craft a spell shooting fiery bolts that split off into massive explosion every time they light an enemy on fire. Or an aura that knocks any enemy that approaches you back, at least until the hordes of enemies overwhelm you. The only limit is your creativity... and your mana.

Unlock new equipment!

With every death you get stronger, earning gold that can be used to purchase passive abilities and bonuses to increase your chances next time.. And when you get a hang of it, increase the difficulty and face even stronger foes!
