Embrace the Darkness. Seek Vengeance. 
Summon the Goddess.

Defend your dark fortress from relentless waves of villagers as you draw arcane runes to summon Ilur, the death goddess who brought you back to life in Runeomicon, a uniquely dark tower defense game. Harness your arcane power to unleash eldritch horrors and fortify your defenses to keep the ritual alive. Use your power wisely, every decision could lead to victory or ruin, as the villagers will stop at nothing to end the ritual.


CAST RUNES TO GAIN POWER

  • Channel arcane energy by drawing intricate runes.
  • Use this energy to unleash devastating spells, strengthen your defenses against the relentless siege, or enhance the complexity of your runes.
  • The more intricate the runes, the stronger your magic becomes, but be warned, stronger runes mean greater risk.




THE VILLAGERS WILL NOT STOP

  • Face relentless waves of enemies, from villagers to armored knights
  • Enemy aggression intensifies as your magic grows stronger
  • If defenses fail, your dark ritual ends in ruin
  • Deploy lethal countermeasures to survive each assault
  • One mistake undoes everything, precision is mandatory




BALANCE POWER AND DEFENSE

  • Choose between boosting your power or strengthening defenses. Sacrifice power for stronger runes, or invest in towers, spells, gargoyles, and eldritch creatures to withstand attacks.
  • Every decision matters. Strategically balance offense and defense, your choices determine survival or failure.




PROGRESS THROUGH DARK RITUALS

Increase your power as you progress from village to village, summoning each minor god until you are ready to call forth Ilur herself, the goddess of death. But be warned, the stronger your magic, the more formidable your foes become. Only if you master both offense and defense will you achieve your ultimate vengeance.



Defy death. 

Embrace the darkness.

The ritual must continue, no matter the cost.

I tried to play but had a problem with the resolution, were it kind off goes full screen (i have no choice on the matter) but the web browser is still above part of the screen, blocking the view of the game.

Thank you, that is odd! Could you let us know which browser you're using (I believe it's Chrome) and you're screen resolution?

(+1)

yeah, chrome, and my resolution is 1920 x 1080 x 59 Hertz. I'll try on firefox latter and tell you if it works ; )

I'm really enjoying the game so far! It's a neat idea, and the art and soundtrack are gorgeous and really well polished. 

However, whenever i get to the part where the goddess introduces the defence spell, I have an html error. It happens consistently every time I try to play.

I see the problem! So sorry for that... we swore we tested it before... We'll try to fix it as soon as possible!
But in the meantime, try downloading it (if you haven't done so already) I hope that version is (probably) more error-free!

Hey, no worries, I totally get it! Happy I could help, and best of luck! :)

(can't download it now, I'll def put it on my list for later tho)

Thanks! I hope you don't have any bug now with the new version!
