About Arcana

Step through portals to reclaim the Arcana from waves of undead, demons and ghouls.

Fire emphasizes critical hits and burns, Frost freezes enemies and reduces incoming damage, and Arcane manipulates mana for bursts. Experience earned in battle grants spell ranks or passive effects, while all upgrade options are available from the start. Difficulty ranges through Nightmare to Infinite Mode, where victories strengthen enemies.

Is this game right for you or your group?

  • Build immediately. Upgrade options are available from the start, while battle experience still advances the wizard’s spells and passives.
  • Escalating challenge. Choose Easy, Normal, Hard or Nightmare, or face enemies that strengthen after victories in Infinite Mode.
