Our take on RUNES Magica
Rune synthesis is the defining detail: Lunia discovers new runes through combinations and uses them to create varied spells during her revenge journey.
What is RUNES Magica?
Play as Lunia, a girl wizard whose father was taken by the Knights after being falsely accused.
She leaves hiding to pursue revenge against the Knight King, who ordered the persecution of the magicians of the Niaten Kingdom. Combat takes place in a 2D roguelike action game as Lunia battles Knights and bounty hunters. Her father created the rune magic she uses, and rune synthesis lets her discover additional runes for varied spells. The game also includes 70 artifacts that can be combined into a relic setup. The journey follows Lunia as she defeats enemies standing between her and her revenge.
