Buy Etaine: Magic Survivor PC key

Etaine: Magic Survivor is a run-based game with no plot, in which you play as a mage and build up spells, artifacts and talents to fight enemies. You gain experience by killing enemies, so you can keep leveling up even when surrounded. Runs can use different builds, and the game includes multiple maps, difficulty levels, modes and challenges.

Spells and mana

The game has 120 spells across eight elements, with 15 spells per element. Each character can use different spell elements, leading to different ways to play. You can equip spells in six slots; choosing one or two support spells instead of filling every slot with attack spells can help you survive. Spells consume mana, and you can focus upgrades on the same spell to increase its power.

Mana also limits artifact use: activating an artifact reserves part of your mana, and activating too many can leave too little for spells. Mana management is both a central system and a source of difficulty. Enhancements include Mana Regeneration, Spell Mana Cost and Max Mana.

Talents and artifacts

There are 151 talents that raise character attributes or add gameplay effects. Talents have little effect on artifacts, but can significantly change spells. The game’s spells and talents form the core of its builds, including berserk and highly resilient mages.

The 78 artifacts come in four rarities: 29 Special, 29 Rare, 14 Epic and 6 Legendary. Higher-rarity artifacts are generally stronger. You can also find 22 Tarot cards, which provide special effects and are usually obtained by killing bosses.

Maps and challenges

The game has three maps with significantly different difficulty, 20 difficulty levels and six game modes. It also includes 10 challenges with special rules. Different players can choose battles at different difficulties based on their skill and understanding of the game.

Builds and progression

The 371 skills support at least five mainstream builds and more than a dozen distinct builds. You can specialize in earning money, and surviving longer earns you more. Achievements have easy completion conditions, allowing you to unlock skills quickly. Failure has no penalty; winning unlocks a CG for the character you played.

Kills help you level up faster, and quickly raising the level of the same spell or artifact can make it more powerful. Items do not disappear, so you can leave them until you need them. Enemy types also matter: Guards can limit your movement.
