In RUNECAST, every cast changes the choices on the table. Cast runes to recruit, arrange your formation across three lanes, and watch your team turn those decisions into combat. The battle is automatic; the strategy is yours.
Cast runes and adapt your formation to the result.
Position each role freely across three lanes.
Merge three identical heroes to advance from level 1 to level 3.
Find equipment between waves and fill up to three slots per hero.
Dwarf, Archer, Healer, and Thief form the demo roster. Barbarian, Druid, and Necromancer appear in a separate section marked for after the demo.
T1 and T2 evolutions remain sealed on this page. Discover their paths by playing the demo — without spoilers for names, forms, or powers.

Bosses are more than larger health bars. The Web Queen advances on your team, plants a cocoon, and floods the field with spiderlings. Striking the cocoon delays the next spawn; destroying it ends the brood and forces the Queen into melee.
Read the mechanic, change your target, and rebuild the formation before the arena is overrun.
16 editable faces: shape the rune bag in the Forge and change the possibilities of future casts.
Merging: collect three identical heroes and advance from level 1 to level 3.
Individual equipment: distribute 12 Rare and Epic finds across your heroes, with up to three slots per team member.
Run bonuses: the Shop and Relic Shelf strengthen the journey without replacing each hero's equipment.
Four acts, forty waves: cross 10 waves per act and adapt to new enemies and bosses.

Victories can reveal new dungeon finds. Open the Team menu, select a hero, and move items from the Chest into three individual slots. Every piece has its own effect and compatibility: extra range, bleeding, first-hit protection, target changes, and other decisions that reshape a build without revealing evolutions.
The demo offers Easy difficulty. Build your first formation, face the Web Queen, and wishlist RUNECAST.
