About this game
The once-great rune civilization has collapsed after the Chaos Core ran wild. As the last inheritor of the runes, survive escalating hordes, crack open chests, and spend your spoils on weapons, gems, and runes. Every placement can rewrite how a weapon works: make shots home in, orbit, split, spiral, or chain fire, frost, poison, and lightning into devastating reactions. Complete battlefield objectives, defeat elites and bosses, seize rare runes, and rebuild the ultimate weapon capable of sealing the Chaos Core.
Game Features
Diverse Items: Choose from hundreds of unique runes and weapons, each with their own distinct traits.
Freeform Builds: The selection and arrangement of your runes will shape the form and attributes of your weapon’s output.
Treasure Chests & Shops: Elite monsters and bosses drop powerful chests, while shops serve as a vital source for runes.
