More about this game
In Runes of the Cursed Tower, you control a lone warden defending a central core against hordes of skeletons, armored ogres, and cursed longbows. You must constantly reposition using the joystick while tapping to cast elemental spells. As you clear waves, you earn permanent upgrades like a 28% damage boost or chain lightning bounces. The difficulty scales up with larger enemy counts and faster movement speeds. A run ends when either your mage's 100 health or the core's 200 health drops to zero.
Tips
- The Earth Mage's heavy stone bolts pierce the front line and have a 42% chance to stun enemies for 1 second, making it great for crowd control.
- Bind the Rune of Renewal early to automatically restore 8 Tower HP after every wave, keeping your core healthy against longbow attacks.
- At Wave 7, choosing Mage Mastery grants a massive 75% damage boost and 38% faster casting for your starting element, which melts the Bone-Serpent boss.
FAQ
- How do the hidden mages work?
- Holy and Darkness mages are unlocked immediately in Endless Survival, or at Wave 7 in the 10-Wave Challenge. The Holy mage heals the core by 3 HP on kills, while Darkness summons cursed cloaks.
- What does the Cursed Shield upgrade do?
- The Cursed Shield upgrade applies thorn damage to enemies that attack the core. Each rank increases the retaliation damage, starting at 55% of your base spell damage and scaling up.
- How do I get the area-of-effect attacks?
- You unlock your mage's unique AOE attack by selecting the rare Elemental Burst upgrade between waves. For example, the Fire Mage unlocks the Magma Rift explosion, which burns a wide area.
