Be Spellbound
Players take on the role of great wizards who have lost their memories. To regain your former power and glory, you must explore dungeons, collect spell fragments and create new magic. Each time you conquer a dungeon and build a new spell, you'll become stronger and more importantly - more of your past as a powerful wizard will be revealed.

Spell Fragments was born out of a desire to capture the magic (see what we did there) of TTRPGs within a third person shooter format. The developing team are ardent fans of TTRPG titles which gave them the ability to adventure freely with magic, in a way that digital games at the time could not replicate. Thus, Spell Fragments features a system that allows players to create magic as if from their very own hands.

The Magic System
The game aims to provide the fun of hack-and-slash games and looter shooters via magic. You'll also be able to challenge dungeons multiple times. Each run will allow you to acquire powerful spells and become stronger. Through the magic creation system, you'll then be able to craft magic that suits your specific need - giving a sense of replayability similar to roguelikes.

Magic is created by combining three different elements.

• Triggers: Conditions for activating magic
• Spells - The effects of the magic itself
• Options - Alters the performance of the magic

You can also chain multiple elements to create complex and powerful magic - combinations are endless! Players are only limited by their imagination.

Online co-operatie play is also possible, bring your magic and conquer dungeons alongside your friends!

A Wizard For Every Occasion
How to become a fire wizard with explosive destructive power

• Select a trigger that increases power and range but has a long lasting time
• Pros: Strengthening your fire and explosion spells to the maximum, leaving no trace of monsters behind
• Cons: Dangerous magic can also damage you. But as an experienced wizard, you'll soon learn how to walk out of an explosion with ease
• Evolve: Change up the trigger and options again to use the same fire spell but under completely different parameters and as a completely different wizard

In Spell Fragments anything is possible, even immortality! A powerful recovery spell triggered at the moment of death will ensure you revive even if you die. There are also spells for absorbing stamina from enemies, turning you into a life-stealing wizard.

Become a ninja-like wizard who is nimble and quick or an invisible wizard who attacks enemies without their detection. The very balance of the game itself can be destroyed - but only if you have the skills and the imagination to create powerful magic.

Experience A Story Inspired by classic TTRPG!
An epic fantasy adventure awaits! Both story and characters were crafted by an experienced TTRPG game master. With character designs by Kuro and key visuals by Neg, players can expect a rich dark fantasy world with an anime aesthetic, within a roguelike TPS.
