About the Game

Become the ultimate mage of The Magus Circle by casting spells, not with the click of a button, but through your prowess in drawing the arcane sigils yourself. Unlock new magic, powers, and characters as you face the coming tide of mana-hungry monsters that seek to destroy the very magic we hold dear. Fear not defeat for if you fall in battle, you may return to the safety of The Magus Circle where you may learn new powers, befriend other mages, and perhaps uncover why you were summoned to face the endless tide of cosmic horrors.

Key Features

  • Hand Drawn Spellcasting: Actively draw your arcane sigils to cast your spells. You don't need to be an artist. Even the most crudely drawn sigils still hold magic within.

  • Diverse Build Paths: Over 250 unique upgrades allow you to approach the game your way, should luck be in your favor. Every run, you must adapt your spells and upgrades around the hand fate deals you.

  • Characters and Story: Get to know the mages of the Magus Circle and progress a narrative between each run.

  • Play Your Way: Choose how you want the game to grow more difficult with every victory. Of over 10 unique challenges, you pick which ones you wish to face.
