Arcane Ascension: Tactics

Claim the map, hex by hex. Arcane Ascension is a turn-based strategy game
where every hex you hold feeds your mana — and mana is everything. A
fantasy 4X in miniature: every match is a hex grid war for territory,
spells, and mana.

Summon wizards, capture territory, and manage your economy carefully:
every wizard you keep on the board costs upkeep each turn, and an empire
that expands too fast will starve. Push into rival kingdoms, cut their
provinces in two, and seize their castles before they do the same to you.

ASCEND THE WIZARD LADDER
Your wizards climb four tiers of power. Higher tiers defeat lower ones in
battle — but they cost more to summon and require much more mana upkeep. Gain
new spells and innate abilities with each ascension.

CHOOSE YOUR FACTION
Six asymmetric factions, with unique signature spells and passive abilities.
March with the balanced Arcanum, burn a path with the Emberkin Legion, hold
the line with the Stoneroot Wardens, scheme from the shadows with the Veilborn
Court, farm the blight itself with the fungal druids of the Sporewald Circle,
or cleanse the unworthy with the armored clerics of the Radiant Synod. Each
faction brings its own distinct playstyle and its own temptations.

MASTER THE SPELLBOOK
Unlock a library of tactical spells and draft your loadout before each
match: freeze an enemy in place, shield an ally, raise a stone wall,
strike with lightning, warp across the map, or seize control of a rival
wizard. One well-timed spell can turn a lost battle into a rout.

THREE GAME MODES
• Skirmish — classic conquest: eliminate every rival kingdom
• King of the Citadel — hold the crowned central hex to claim victory
• Survival — outlast round after round of an escalating horde

Recent changes:
A new adaptive app icon. Citadels and ward totems now act as watchtowers, revealing wide areas of Fog of War, and the edge of the fog is marked so you can tell unexplored ground from the end of the map. Daily streak milestones now come every 25 days past 50. Fixes for the daily results streak, Fog Cloud, and building with several provinces.
