About the Game

Stand your ground against waves of enemies, develop your character, unlock new possibilities, and build your own playstyle. Before each expedition, you choose your hero, spells, summonable units, and an artifact that can influence the entire course of battle.

In a world torn apart by conflict, only one thing matters: survive, grow stronger, and gradually reclaim control of the battlefield. This is a revenge-driven story where every clash brings you one step closer to your goal.

Sanctus Wars is inspired by the story of an upcoming book, giving the game’s world and atmosphere a stronger narrative foundation.
