Arcane Trigger

In Arcane Trigger, players take on the role of a mage defending their home from interdimensional invaders. With three unique characters, escalating challenges across 15 waves, multiple difficulty levels, and endless synergies between bullets and upgrades, no two runs are ever the same. Every enemy you destroy releases the energy you'll need to forge new bullets. Clear waves, harvest power, and keep your finger on the trigger. The real battle begins when the smoke settles. Rearrange your bullets in the Arcane Magazine to trigger powerful synergies. Chain effects, amplify damage, build wild elemental combos and triple merge three identical bullets to get a new and more powerful version. Strategy starts long before you pull the trigger.

  • 220+ unique bullets: forge an elemental arsenal from wind, fire, ice, and thunder magic schools.
  • 150+ Magical Seals that permanently enhance bullet behavior.
  • Triple Merge: fuse three identical bullets to create epic versions with new perks.
  • Three Unique Characters: Each with distinct magical specialties and attack styles.
  • Dual Progression System: Strengthen during runs and through permanent meta-progression with magic carpets and runes.
  • Endless Replayability: Over 2,000,000 possible combinations between bullets, seals, and upgrades
  • Enchanting Pixel Art: A vibrant 2D world where magical effects dazzle the screen.
  • Pure roguelite addiction: accessible, casual, fast, rewarding runs that make it nearly impossible to stop playing. Simple to learn, impossible to master.
