Aethermancer — Is It Worth Playing?

About Aethermancer

Encounter the monsters of Terastae that defied the virtues of this world and are trapped in a cycle of death and rebirth. Use your special ability as an Aethermancer to form bonds with monsters to guide your party of three through a sprawling world and dangerous battles. Make smart skill choices as your monsters grow stronger and find synergies between your monsters - making every one truly unique! Fight ferocious enemies and divine bosses in engaging turn-based battles where every action matters! Manage and harness the four elements of Aether to unleash powerful spells. Consider your synergies and plan your monsters actions. Purge enemy Aether, grind your opponents down with poison, protect your allies with shields, focus on attacking with the right elements - you can pursue different strategies! But whatever you do, keep a careful eye on the HP of your monsters… If a monster dies in combat, you’ll lose it. Permanently. But you have the power to defy death by rebirthing their souls. Don’t lose hope! Your monsters might change in the process, but will still be the same companions you once established a soul bond with and will grow stronger from their previous lives. With every level up you get to decide in which direction your monsters will grow. Every monster has a dynamic skill pool that reacts to previous choices and other monsters you have in your team, enabling you to create powerful teams. Experiment with a myriad of unique team builds with every run! Meet various characters who will help you and your monsters throughout your journey! Uncover their stories and dig into the lore of this world - all fueled by your choices and encounters. Help liven the village up by gathering townsfolk, hearing them out, and doing what only a true Aethermancer can do! The Aethermancer has many faces - and each of them come with entirely new mechanics and abilities. Unlock new player classes to shake up the way you play and how you decide to build your party. Use your Aethermancer abilities to explore, sneak and fight your way through procedurally generated levels while your monsters gain Worthiness. Keep going until you lose your monsters… then come back stronger and try again! Special thanks to Path of Pixels (logo), HeavyMetalHanzo (key artwork) and Steven Melin (soundtrack)!
