Demonlore

Demonlore (formerly known as “Riftbound”) combines lane defense action strategy with roguelite deck building. You defend against an undead legion using spells, upgrades and units, while choosing a path through encounters that can bring discoveries or dangers.

Heroes and defenses

You can turn any unit into a hero. Heroes receive all the heroic upgrades you have obtained, including stackable and rare upgrades.

Demonlore features five schools of magic with different attributes. You can use defensive earth spells, unstable aether and slowing water, among other magic, and find common and rare spell cards. Upgrades improve your spell mastery and let you summon more powerful elementals.

Encounters and difficulty

Choose your route through encounters to find spells and upgrades, or risk misfortune and accept game-changing mutators. Godlike difficulty tiers can make the path easier or harder, including the ultimate challenge of Merciless mode. Permanent progression lets you grow stronger and take on higher difficulty tiers; new encounters and discoveries await on each journey.

Energy and replayability

A wisp collects energy for you, so you do not need to click to gather resources. Upgrades can turn the wisp into a weapon, with options for damage boosts, healing and Aether Artillery.

Each run can differ, with more than 20 unique random events and elite and champion enemies that have unique affixes. The game includes over 180 spells, upgrades and mutators, as well as golden rare spell cards and multiple schools of magic with their own features.
