Pixelmancer

Pixelmancer is a casual roguelite in which you play as a mage, supported by beast companions. You fight enemies, collect Soulstones and upgrade your hero, companions and weapons. Death sends you back to try again, but you keep your Soulstones and player progression and return stronger.

Game modes

In Adventure Mode, you begin at level one and advance through world tiers, facing increasing numbers of enemies and encountering new enemy types. If you die, you return to level one but retain your Soulstones and progression. In Survival Mode, you spawn on an island surrounded by enemies, and the challenge grows with every second you survive. The mode is also a way to gather Soulstones, and the island expands as you progress in Adventure Mode.

Upgrades and progression

You can upgrade almost anything, with over 40 skills available. Examples include movement speed, mana regeneration, Fireball damage and velocity, as well as companions’ health, damage, movement speed, detection radius and revive speed. Defeating enemies increases your Luckstone, which raises your Soulstone drop rate; Soulstones can be spent on ability upgrades.

The game has five world tiers, each with its own enemies and visual elements. Random events may occur during adventures: they can be good or bad, and can stack. You arrive in the world through a summoning portal, but Soul Hunters are known to use portals too.

Companions and weapons

Your companions include:

• Pixie: your first loyal companion, who stays with you forever.
• Stadie: attacks enemies with ranged attacks.
• Honey: a frontline tank who draws enemies to herself.
• Twilight: a reincarnation beast that collects stones for you.
• Anima: a gravestone companion that rises from the dead and joins your group.

You can unlock multiple weapon types, each with abilities that change how you play.
