What is Runic Survivor?

In this single-player action roguelite, you fight monster hordes, break seals, and battle guardians. You unlock runes rather than weapons or skills, combining them into spells you can modify during a run, with mana limiting their use. Death earns gold to buy passive abilities and bonuses for future attempts.
