Spellmasons

Spellmasons is a turn-based tactical roguelike in which you combine spells to create new effects. You can play solo or team up with friends in online co-op, using careful planning and creative spell combinations to defeat enemies.

Combine spells

Spells can alter one another, opening up many possible combinations. For example, casting Swap on an enemy can make the next spells in the combo target the location you teleported from. You can use this to link nearby enemies, then follow with a damage spell that hits them all. Spells become more expensive the more you use them, and their costs fall as turns pass, encouraging you to vary your strategies.

You can also find ways to exceed your maximum mana and cast especially powerful spells. Some spells interact in unexpected ways, and players continue to discover new combinations.

Play together

Online co-op lets you work with friends to save one another from near death, though you can also accidentally damage each other. The faction-based turn system lets you and your friends take your turns at the same time.

Multiplayer supports as many players as your computer can handle. A community session reached 13 players, though no more than 6 is recommended.

Specialize your magic

The Rune system lets you enhance and specialize your magic. You can build a Contagious Plague Mage who carries curses to infect enemies, or a necromancer who creates copies of himself when he teleports and has a chance to resurrect enemies he kills to fight for him.

Face champion enemies

Champion-ranked enemies have modifiers that call for different tactics. Growth makes an enemy stronger over time, while Slime lets it clone itself. These champions can push you to look beyond your usual strategies.
