For thousands of years nations have fought to control Mana Sources, which are now essential to modern life.
Each nation has unique weapons, talents, and battlefield-warping effects to emerge victorious.
But be careful, each opponent may have a few tricks they've picked up from another nation...
Mana Source is an adventure game set in a high fantasy world where nation has ravaged nation following the onset of a mechanical revolution. Players join with a ragtag group of villagers barely surviving on the outskirts of civilization. As they venture out, they will have to explore, solve puzzles, and defeat deadly adversaries if they're going to survive.
Play Mana Source cooperatively in a story-driven campaign, replayable skirmish mode, or competitively head-to-head. A streamlined solo mode ensures that individuals can focus on playing their character.
Many dungeon crawlers contain only a light, loosely connected narrative. In Mana Source the story, characters, and various twists are a focal point. The story favors a tight, high-quality narrative of over 120,000 words across 20+ scenarios that you'll remember for years to come.
Combat in Mana Source is highly interactive and euro-inspired, relying much more on careful planning and execution with no random dice rolls. Actions are combo friendly while each unique encounter ensures players have to plan and adapt. Each class begins with low complexity actions in order to make learning more accessible than other dungeon crawler games. You can teach the basics in just 15 minutes. Over the course of the campaign, players unlock new skills, gather resources, and complete challenges in order to upgrade their characters. These skills, equipment, and challenges become increasingly varied over time, requiring careful thought to find success. Further, every action is built from the ground-up to be balanced for competitive play.
Choose a primary and secondary class, construct a hand of 10 cards, and then utilize attack, talent, and unique nation card types. Each round, choose a card from your hand to play and resolve the actions simultaneously. Don't wait for your turn, strategize, coordinate, and execute to secure victory!
