About This Game

Theos is a 2D wave-survival roguelite seen from the side. No auto-attack: you aim every spell yourself — with the mouse or the right stick — while trolls, werewolves, snakes and bats close in.

Five elements, one wand

Choose your starting element — Fire, Water, Ice, Lightning or Earth. Each plays differently: fire burns, water pushes back, ice slows and freezes, lightning chains between enemies, earth hits hard after a charge. Between waves you spend coins in your spellbook to unlock 15 spells across all five elements.

Spells that change the battlefield

Missed shots aren't wasted. Water leaves the ground soaked — hit the puddle with lightning and every enemy standing in it gets shocked. Freeze it into a sheet of ice, melt the earth into lava, or turn it into a magnetic field. Put a second spell in your off-hand slot and it empowers your main spell directly.

Every wave a decision

Pick a bonus after each wave, level up to open new spell slots and choose what to unlock next. When you fall, crystal shards carry over into permanent upgrades for your next run.

A journey, not an endless grind

20 hand-built waves across four biomes — meadow, forest, mountains and ice fields — with boss fights along the way and an endless mode for those who want more.
