Rune Bender VR

Rune Bender VR is a wave shooter in which you play as a shaman defending the holy shrine of Veles from monstrous creatures summoned by Perun. Set in a world inspired by Slavic mythology, it combines fast-paced combat with rune-drawing magic. You cast spells by moving your hands and use the elements of fire, water, earth and air against creatures with different weaknesses.

Rune magic

Draw runes using elemental Runepads to cast 16 different spells. You begin each run with basic elemental magic and unlock more powerful spells as you progress. You can upgrade spells to suit your playstyle, choosing whether to focus on reflexes, timing or strategy. More than 20 upgrades are available during a run, creating different combinations from attempt to attempt.

Waves and modes

Story Mode has 15 waves of Slavic mythological creatures. As the waves grow stronger, you face greater challenges and must choose spells strategically, exploiting enemies’ weaknesses. Each death is temporary, and each run helps you become more skilled.

Endless Mode tests your runebending skills and includes a leaderboard. The game is designed for short sessions, with controls that are easy to pick up but challenging to master.
