Aethermancer

Enter Terastae and face monsters that defied the virtues of this world, trapped in a cycle of death and rebirth. As an Aethermancer, you forge bonds with these creatures to guide a three‑member party through a sprawling realm and perilous battles. Craft smarter skill choices as your monsters evolve, and discover powerful synergies that make every run feel truly unique.

Turn-based combat and the four Aether elements

Fight ferocious foes and divine bosses in tactical, turn-based encounters where every action matters. Harness the four elements of Aether to unleash devastating spells, purge enemy Aether, apply poison, and shield allies. Plan around your monsters’ strengths and the elements you bring to bear—attacking with the right mix of fire, frost, storm, and earth can unlock devastating combinations.

Permanent loss and rebirth

If a monster falls in battle, you’ll lose it—permanently. Yet you can defy death by rebirthing their soul. The rebirth reshapes the monster, but they remain the same bonded companion, growing stronger from their past life. With each level up, you choose a new direction for their growth, shaping a dynamic skill pool that responds to previous choices and to the other monsters in your team.

Team building and exploration

Every monster has a living, evolving set of abilities. Experiment with countless team builds across runs, creating combinations that thrive on synergy and adaptability. Navigate procedurally generated levels using your Aethermancer powers to explore, sneak, and fight, while your monsters accumulate Worthiness as they grow.

Story, villagers and world lore

Encounter a cast of characters who aid you and your monsters. Uncover their stories and the lore of Terastae through choices and encounters, and help liven the village by gathering townsfolk and taking on quests that only a true Aethermancer can undertake.

Push your limits until you lose your monsters—and return stronger to try again. Aethermancer invites you to craft daring, ever-evolving bond-based strategies in a world where every soul rebirth reshapes your fate.
