Forge your mana dominion in a fast-paced rogue-like RTS where strategy, magic, and survival collide. At the heart of your settlement lies your campfire. If it falls, the run ends. Every decision, every unit, and every building must serve one purpose: keep the fire alive.
Build and expand your magical base in real time, gathering resources and training units from powerful schools of magic. Command forces aligned with Arcane, Fire, Frost, Light, and Dark... Each offering distinct playstyles, synergies, and tactical depth.
But raw power alone won’t be enough.
As you play, you’ll earn runes that form the foundation of your deck. During each run, draft and play cards to enhance your army by empowering units, enhancing abilities, and reshaping your strategy on the fly. No two runs play the same, and the right deck can mean the difference between survival and collapse.
A World of Escalating Threats
Explore a dynamic world divided into diverse biomes, each with unique enemies, bosses, and challenges:
Forest: Overrun by relentless undead
Desert: Controlled by brutal orc warlords
Frozen Mountains: Defended by hardened dwarven forces
Ancient Ruins: Guarded by mysterious elven remnants
As time passes, the pressure intensifies. Enemies grow stronger, attacks become bigger, and your defences are constantly tested.
Level up your units in real time, unlock powerful upgrades, and evolve simple troops into devastating forces of war. Whether you focus on overwhelming offense, layered defences, or synergistic spell combinations, your strategy must adapt to survive.
Hold out long enough, and you’ll face a climactic boss encounter designed to push your build to its limits.
