Infinite Incantation

About this game

Infinite Incantation is a charming papercraft-style bullet heaven action roguelike that will test your spell-slinging skills as you tear through waves of enemies. To survive against the horde, you'll have the chance to roll the dice to procedurally mutate your spells into powerful evolutions, allowing you to take on even tougher challenges. Customize your character with RPG-like upgrades and stack your deck with the spells you'll randomly draw in runs. With fast-paced action, challenging bosses, and endless spell-crafting possibilities, Infinite Incantation is a must-play for fans of spell-casting, screen-filling, and goblin slaying action.



Cast Shape Archetype + Element + Effect = Infinite Incantations



Infinite Incantation uses a robust component spell system that can combine elements, casting styles, and special effects in a variety of different ways. Stryx, your (totally friendly and charming) owl companion can convert the experience points you collect into powerful spells. Like a spell? Or even dislike it? Choose to randomly evolve it into something even stronger, whether through greater power or mutated attributes. The spell will randomly mutate into something even stronger and more wild. Who knows what kind of mayhem that'll ensue? There are hundreds of combinations you could need to adapt to on the fly.





You can customize the type of mage you want to be and how you want to interact with the deep component spell system.

• Level up and upgrade your stats.
  
• Specialize in certain elemental affinities.
  
• Build your deck of spell archetype cards before heading out.
  
• Mutate spells on the fly and roll the dice to see what you get.

• Tear up seemingly endless hordes of monsters and bosses all vying for your demise.
  
• Twin-Stick Shooter-type controls.
  
• Cast spells manually or automatically.
  
• Play with a controller or a keyboard and mouse.
  
• No scissors or glue required.

  Pricing Update

  Hello, long time no see! We are permanently reducing the price of the game. We really appreciate everyone who was there for us during Early Access, our 1.0 launch, and the first year of development, thank you so much for your support! But we've moved on and are hard at work on our next game. We figured if we're no longer supporting this game, we might as well not ask for any money. Yes, it's free now! You can endure the flurry of enemies and randomness without any charge. Stryx makes you suffer enough, doesn't he? ;)
