What is Arcane Blast?

A third-person action roguelike set in ShadowVille, where a sorcerer trapped by his student fights to regain his magic and return home. You battle groups of enemies, combine elemental attacks and upgrades, and defeat bosses to unlock powers. Runs typically last 20 to 40 minutes but can loop indefinitely, alone or in online co-op.

For you if...

  • +you like experimenting with elemental spell combinations
  • +you want short runs that can continue indefinitely
  • +you enjoy fighting bosses with friends

Not for you if...

  • you prefer predictable upgrades over variable run progression
  • you want an adventure focused on story rather than repeated combat
