Description

One line

A dark-fantasy survivor where you last twenty minutes against a cursed night by building a storm of self-casting spells and Awakening them into something monstrous.

Paragraph

The fire is out and the woods are waking up. In Ignisfall you only move: your spells cast themselves, and every level-up is a choice. Pick one of six hunters, enter one of three lands, and survive until dawn. Fireballs, ice spears, lightning, blood tethers, grave lanterns and hounds of ash stack into a build. Max a skill out, own its catalyst, and the next chest Awakens it: Fireball becomes Ashfall, a rain of meteors. Thirteen bosses with telegraphed spells, elites with deadly affixes and a rising curse push back, and every run draws its own events, from a Blood Moon that crowns the horde to a Midnight Merchant selling power for gold. Between runs, bank your gold in the Armory, climb the Embers and fill the Codex.

History

Ignisfall started as a browser prototype and was rebuilt from scratch in the Godot Engine. It is made by a solo developer in Brazil, inspired by Vampire Survivors, Halls of Torment and the gothic look of classic Diablo. The name joins the Latin ignis, fire, with the fall of night: the fire that rains down to hold the dark back until dawn.
