The version available on Steam features 4 story chapters. We do not plan any further updates. Please try the demo before you decide to buy this game, and please buy it only if you're looking for a party-based TBS about spellcasting with no expectations of further content. <strong>This version will not be updated</strong>.<br><br>In the middle of 2022, we experienced a burnout and considered closing the studio for good. After taking a break, we decided to give this idea one more try, making our best effort and giving it everything (time, money, passion):<br><br>We partnered with a veteran game designer (with millions of copies of his previous games sold here on Steam) to develop a dark fantasy story-driven game about mages in the world of Rund – with a much more complex, and scalable, system for spellcasting, crafting and exploration; and with a proper storyline (we have a full-time writer working on the project). It will be our &quot;everything or nothing&quot; moment: either we forget about Rund, or we succeed and you love the new game.<br><br>We aim to introduce this new game with a playable demo some time in 2024.<br><br>Meanwhile, we leave Spire of Sorcery available for purchase, as it features enough content to play for a few hours – and represents the original mechanics that we now develop further. It is not a bad game, and it shows the potential for what we currently build.</p><br><h1>SPLATTER CAT GAMING REVIEWS SPIRE OF SORCERY</h1><p></p><br><h1>About the Game</h1>On the western coast stretches the Empire, the last known shard of human civilization. Occasionally, a person with the talent for magic is born there. Hunted and persecuted, such people are confined to the Sanctuaries for the Corrupted. Under the watchful eye of the Inquisition, the mages are made to work for the benefit of the state.<br><br><span class="bb_img_ctn"><img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/637050/extras/897e9ce47e9ec92e748353f8f7b6bec8.avif?t=1746603242" width=616 height=174 /></span><br><br>Across the Great River from the Empire begin the Wild Lands. Once civilized, they are now roamed by predators, ghosts and demons. Dismal Marshes, Elderwood, Deceiving Plains: these lands are home to sentient non-human tribes. There is little contact and no sympathy between the Empire and these dwellers of the Wild Lands.<br><br><span class="bb_img_ctn"><img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/637050/extras/e0e6fb04442c5d97e468c12e06a4fe72.avif?t=1746603242" width=616 height=174 /></span><br><br>At the feet of the Blue Mountains, in the north of the Wild Lands, rests the Spire of Sorcery. For centuries this sentient citadel slumbered, yet now it is awakened by a dark threat coming from the east. The Spire sounds an ancient Call, summoning all mages to join its cause. Answering its bidding, dozens of mages attempt to reach the Spire, attracted by the promise of a new life with the citadel. But only three succeed in crossing the Great River…<br><br><span class="bb_img_ctn"><img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/637050/extras/7c1385255a6c8510db426c2f0ce147a3.avif?t=1746603242" width=616 height=174 /></span><h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>SPELLCASTING WITH ORIGINAL TOKEN MECHANICS</strong></h2><br>At the heart of the game is the original system of tokens that stack, convert and combine – binding together the effects of spellcasting, alchemic potions and environments, as well as character traits and their special powers.<br><br><span class="bb_img_ctn"><img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/637050/extras/b519465be9a3bf287c25d652791d24cd.avif?t=1746603242" width=616 height=174 /></span><h2 class="bb_tag" ><strong>EXPLORE THE WORLD, DISCOVER AND EXPERIMENT</strong></h2><br>The world of Rund is dark and full of dangers: each chapter features new biomes and new opponents.
