About Runic Curse

A storm at sea sinks the ship carrying a group of travelers, and Adrian wakes up on an unknown island where the Rune Curse has taken hold. From there the story plays out as an adventure across the island.

The island is split into 10 large locations filled with different enemies and bosses. Your main tool is combining weapons with magic runes, and there are more than 55 types of spells to use in battle.

Adrian grows as you play. He gains levels, picks up equipment and learns abilities, which gives the game the structure of a proper RPG and not just a brawler.

Runes do two jobs. You craft consumable runes to use during fights, and you improve the runes attached to your weapons to make them stronger.

The locations are big enough that you get a map to find your way around, so it plays like a small open world game. When you just want the big fights, there is also a Boss Rush mode.

Quick summary

  • Adrian washes up on an island hit by the Rune Curse after a shipwreck.
  • You move through 10 large locations and fight the enemies and bosses in each one.
  • Along the way you level up, gather equipment and unlock abilities.
  • You craft and upgrade runes to make your weapons and spells stronger.

Tips & tricks

  • Use Shift to roll out of the way of enemy attacks instead of trading hits.
  • Keep your abilities on 1, 2 and 3 in mind during boss fights so you are not only clicking to attack.
  • Press M whenever you lose your bearings in one of the bigger locations.
  • Spend resources on improving your weapon runes, since those upgrades carry into every fight.
