Single-player horde survival with a touch of incremental base building. Cast spells, command troops, and take your town from puddle to paradise. Eight-minute runs. Eight hours to complete.
Wielders of the Essence combines the adrenaline of bullet heaven games with the upgrade-driven satisfaction of incremental games. In each run, you’ll focus on defeating the hordes by casting spells and commanding units. During the campaign, you’ll keep returning to upgrade your town, transforming it from puddle to paradise.
Each run sends you to a different part of the world, where you’ll face unique enemies, challenges, and terrifying bosses. Buy new gear in shops, find chests filled with strange trinkets, slay massive waves of enemies, and make sure you bring home enough loot to upgrade your town!
Every building you construct unlocks something new: a troop, a stronger spell, or a skill you didn’t have before. The more you invest, the more powerful your Wielder will be in the next run.
Find, free, and play as six Wielders with different playstyles. Conquer every level and defeat every boss. Test your mettle on all difficulty settings and in the various new game modes you unlock by completing the game.
