Arcane Blade

Your sword has a job. You just drag it around. The rats do not approve.

Drag your finger across the screen, watch the blade pulse, watch the

carnage. You don't tap. You don't aim. The hero hasn't got the energy.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX

• A sword you can merge into a bigger sword. Then a bigger one. Then a

really upsetting one.

• Talents picked at random on every level-up, because that's the whole

genre.

• Relics with extremely unserious names — Blade Vortex, Mana Overload,

Midas Touch, Frost Nova.

• Three biomes, all somehow infested with rats.

• Six bosses, including a Skeleton King who keeps summoning more

skeletons. We've talked to him. He won't stop.

THE CORE LOOP

1. Drag.

2. Smash.

3. Die.

4. Open the game again because the loot bar was so close.

ALSO

Portrait. One finger. No login. No timers. No "energy" bar telling you

to come back tomorrow. The only thing stopping the next run is whether

your battery survived the last one.

The sword is doing fine. The rats are working on it.

The positioning is on you.
