Aethermancer

Aethermancer is about guiding a party of three bonded monsters through the sprawling world of Terastae, where monsters that defied the world's virtues are trapped in a cycle of death and rebirth. You explore procedurally generated levels, meet characters, uncover their stories and the world's lore, and fight dangerous enemies. Your choices and encounters shape the journey.

Turn-based battles

Combat is turn-based, and every action matters. You plan your monsters' actions, build synergies across the team and harness the four elements of Aether to cast powerful spells. You can purge enemy Aether, wear opponents down with poison, shield allies or focus attacks on enemies with the right elements. Keep an eye on your monsters' HP: a monster that dies in combat is lost permanently unless you rebirth its soul.

Bonds and rebirth

As an Aethermancer, you can form bonds with monsters and guide them through their lives. Rebirthing a fallen monster's soul can defy its death; the monster may change in the process, but remains a companion with whom you have a soul bond, and grows stronger from its previous lives. Your monsters also gain Worthiness as you explore.

Shape your party

Each level-up lets you choose how a monster grows. Monsters have dynamic skill pools that respond to earlier choices and to the other monsters on your team, allowing you to develop different abilities and create team synergies. Experiment with different team builds on each run.

The Aethermancer has multiple faces, each with its own mechanics and abilities. Unlock new player classes to change how you play and build your party.

The village

Characters help you and your monsters during the journey, and their stories and the world's lore unfold through your choices and encounters. You can also gather townsfolk, listen to them and help bring the village to life.
