About This Game

Wielders of the Essence is an incremental survivors-like game. Fight as a spell-casting Wielder through chaotic runs. Bring home precious loot to construct your town, unlock troops, spells, and abilities. It's a 10 to 20-hour single-player experience built around short runs, satisfying progression, and "just one more time" goodness.

Short Runs, Big Returns

Runs are much shorter than in your typical survivors-like. Jump in, rally troops, unleash spells, and try to survive. You will die. A lot. But every run earns you resources, and every scrap of loot will help you on your journey.

New Buildings, New Powers

Every building you construct unlocks something: a new Wielder or troop, a stronger spell, a skill you didn't have before. The more you invest, the more powerful your Wielder will be in the next run. Watch your town grow from nothing into something truly impressive.

Discover Secrets, Defeat Bosses

Each run sends you out onto a randomly generated adventure map. Discover shops to buy gear, find chests packed with trinkets that enhance your run, and stumble into miniboss events. Survive it all, and then face the final boss waiting at the end of each level.

Delightfully Chaotic, Surprisingly Chill

One minute, you're drowning in enemies while your troops fight by your side. The next, you're back home, peacefully choosing what to build or upgrade. That swing between barely surviving and quietly growing stronger is the heart of the game. Over time, the runs that once crushed you become the ones you dominate.
