About this game

Train Skills. Recruit Wizards. Conquer Foes.

An idle/incremental RPG with deeply interconnected skills. Your skills feed the frontlines: Attunement, Summoning, and Sigilry power your wizards as they fight across an elemental hex map. Your skills feed the supply lines: Research, Runecrafting, Alchemy, Mercantile, and Scavenging keep the resources flowing. And skills you won't find anywhere else, like Chronomancy, Diplomacy, and Appraisal, tie it all together.

Burn Runes in the Runic Cauldron. Train wizards at the Academy. Sell surplus goods on the Bazaar. Collect hundreds of items that fuel both your skilling and your combat.

Your guild keeps working while you're offline.

Ratings and reviews

It's fine as an incremental idler, but it lacks in satisfaction - it's largely AI generated so the art is meh, and the gameplay doesn't really pay off... increases are never enough to feel very satisfying, and you have to get 100% of the pieces completed to get into NG+ (and even then, you have to REPLAY the game to get any of the new game content, which isn't anything extraordinary anyway). Diplomacy and Scavenging are time sucks that require babysitting, but no decent automating ever arrives.

While the ads are totally optional, they are the worst kind with multiple clicks to get out of the ad and forced links to the play store. $5 to save that headache was well worth it. The game is really good with plenty to do and interesting interactions between the skills. This game will only get better with time.

Probably the best idle game on the market. It's very in depth and manages to keep a very steady and noticeable rate of progress without feeling unrewarding or annoying due to exponential time-per and cost early in the game, or an excess of ads and microtransactions. This feels like a game made with care instead of slop bucket #117 made with ai(TM)
