The Shadowed Rune

You’ve reached a forgotten tower full of dangers, and there’s no way to escape. Your only chance is to climb to the top of the tower and break the curse using the power of the runic artifacts. Help Maia and other explorers uncover the secrets of the cursed tower!

The Shadowed Rune is a challenging action roguelike that you can play solo or in two-player co-op*. Combine the power of runes to discover new spells and climb the tower to break the curse. You’ll face enemies that aren’t as friendly as they seem, and puzzles where you’ll need to wisely harness the power of the elements. Did I mention the bosses guarding each floor? They’re only the beginning…

*Local co-op multiplayer requires at least one connected controller.

An action roguelike adventure with bullet hell / bullet heaven-style combat, puzzles, hundreds of enemies, and powerful bosses that will push you to the limit.

Local co-op mode. Each new adventure can be played in two-player co-op, even online (via Steam Remote Play Together).

Magic system based on seven elements (water, fire, wind, earth, lightning, light, and darkness) allowing you to create 134,217,728 possible spell combinations, discover more than 30 different elements, and unlock hundreds of handcrafted spells.

You’ll also find a complete Magic Compendium that lets you uncover powerful spells right in the middle of battle. Switch between runes and modify your attacks in real time to adapt your strategy without stopping the action.

A tower divided into seven floors with dozens of levels to explore awaits you, accompanied by your feline companion. And every adventure is different: levels change after each defeat. Are you ready to break the curse? Let’s go on an adventure!

Interact with the environment, solve puzzles, face waves of enemies, and discover unique artifacts and powerful spells that will change the way you play.

You’ll also be able to manage and upgrade your survivor camp, unlocking new challenges, cosmetic items, and learning more about the backstory of other characters.

Level editor so you can create your own challenges and share them with friends, and play them solo or in co-op.
