Arcane Ascension: Tactics
Capture hexes, master spells
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Claim the map, hex by hex. Arcane Ascension is a turn-based strategy game
where every hex you hold feeds your mana — and mana is everything.
Summon wizards, capture territory, and manage your economy carefully:
every wizard you keep on the board costs upkeep each turn, and an empire
that expands too fast will starve. Push into rival kingdoms, cut their
provinces in two, and seize their castles before they do the same to you.
ASCEND THE WIZARD LADDER
Your wizards climb four tiers of power. Higher tiers defeat lower ones in
battle — but they cost more to summon and far more to keep. Each tier
inherits everything below it: move and claim, ranged zaps, area burns, and
teleportation. Timing your ascensions is the heart of the game.
CHOOSE YOUR FACTION
Five factions, five ways to fight. March with the balanced Arcanum,
burn a path with the Emberkin Legion, hold the line with the Stoneroot
Wardens, scheme from the shadows with the Veilborn Court, or farm the
blight itself with the fungal druids of the Sporewald Circle. Each
faction brings its own innate spells and its own temptations.
MASTER THE SPELLBOOK
Unlock a library of tactical spells and draft your loadout before each
match: freeze an enemy in place, shield an ally, raise a stone wall,
strike with lightning, warp across the map, or seize control of a rival
wizard. One well-timed spell can turn a lost battle into a rout.
THREE WAYS TO WIN
• Skirmish — classic conquest: eliminate every rival kingdom
• King of the Citadel — hold the crowned central hex to claim victory
• Survival — outlast round after round of an escalating horde
A NEW SCENARIO EVERY DAY
The Daily Challenge deals everyone the same seeded map each day — and
rotates game modes through the week. Win to build your streak, earn
milestone rewards, and bank streak freezes for the days life gets in
the way.
PLAY YOUR WAY
• A ladder of hand-crafted challenges with escalating difficulty
• Quick matches on small, medium, or large maps — random or curated
• Local multiplayer: pass-and-play with up to four human players on
one device
• Spectator mode: set every seat to AI and watch the battle unfold
• Build your own maps in the sandbox, save them as scenarios, and
share them with friends as text codes that work on every platform
• Optional fog of war for tense, scouting-driven games
• Achievements, lifetime stats, and a first-match tutorial that stays
out of your way
FAIR AND OFFLINE-FRIENDLY
No account. No forced ads. No pay-to-win. Matches work entirely offline;
