EDIT: We're aware of an issue preventing new players from downloading Spellsworn. We're currently investigating the issue and hope to resolve it shortly. Apologies for the inconvenience! WE DID IT! We’re finally here! After 3 years, we’re proud to see that our baby is finally released! You have no idea how exciting this is for us and the team. But enough about us - what does that mean for you?

Spellsworn is now Free-to-Play

Well, first things first - Spellsworn is now available for FREE! That’s right, FREE! Now, nothing stops you from laying claim to the arena… except all of the other spellcasters… and the arena itself… But besides, those, nothing! For you old timers, that means you can bring all your friends to enjoy the fun-filled mayhem of Spellsworn! For newcomers, welcome to the fray! We look forward to meeting you in the arena. “But, how do you intend to support yourself?”, you may ask. Well, aren’t you thoughtful! We’ve revamped the chest system in-game and have introduced a new shop that allows you to purchase chests for real currency. As shown below, these can be purchased in increments, with discounts for purchasing in bulk. Each chest grants a cosmetic item for your character or weapon, helping you rule the arena in style!
This new shop will aid you in showing off your Spellsworn moves in style, while also helping to support us. Chests will continue to be unlocked at random intervals while playing in-game and all items earned before transitioning into free-to-play will be kept. Better yet, we’ve also added 10 new staffs for you to unlock! There’s plenty more where that came from, as we’ll be continuing to add new content over time.
The lootchest shop is currently disabled due to some meddlesome interference from the Clearing. Our best acolytes are on the job and we'll have this live ASAP.

2X Loot Event

To celebrate this momentous occasion, we’re increasing the loot drop rate for a limited time! That’s right - from now until March 19th, double the treasure, double the fun!

New Spells

In addition to the new staves, we’ve also added 3 entirely new spells!

Spellsworn Tournament with OP Noobs

As we mentioned beforehand, we will also be rewarding players with two gift packages, to thank them for helping us get Spellsworn to this point, the Founder’s Edition and the Collector’s Edition, containing a staff and skin and two staves and skins respectively. We are putting the finishing touches to these fine embodiments of grandeur, and are aiming to roll these out to all early access players within the next week or two.

You have been incredible to us over the years and it gives us great joy to finally be able to deliver our dream to you. Really, Thank you! 5 Rock Pillars up for all of you!

Spellsworn is an Online Player vs. Player Arena Game. It is a place where wizards and magical creatures use their wits and spells to wage war in an everchanging arena. Prove yourself in the arena and battle with all who dare call themselves your peers. Victory and pride outweighs reason and diplomacy, thus any debate between wizards is indistinguishable from outright warfare. Alliances will be broken, lives will be lost and the world will crumble. Will you remain, towering over the ashes?

Spellsworn is heavily inspired by classic arena games such as DotA, League of Legends, Super Smash Bros. and traditional sumo-wrestling. Most of all however; Spellsworn is inspired by the user-created mod Warlock, made in Warcraft III.

• Spells

Each round you, the spellsworn, will recieve some coins to fund your battle. A shop stocked full of spells will serve as your arsenal as you prepare for the next battle round. It's imperative that you choose your spells carefully, as they may be completely countered by your enemy if you're not careful. There's very little grace to be had when standing with your pants down and no way of counterattacking your enemy's barrage of destruction.

• Game modes

There's plenty of ways to play Spellsworn. If you enjoy playing in teams and making up sick combos and rediculous plays with friends then maybe 2v2, 3v3 or 2v2v2 is for you. If you're more of a strong independent lonewolf then 1v1 is also fully supported (including all of the FFA variations, i.e 1v1v1v1 and so on). In the future we're hoping to include workshop support for your own scripted gamemodes and playstyles.

• Matchmaking and progression

Spellsworn will definitely have a competitive side to it - which means ranked plays and matchmaking is a must. It will likely follow the Elo standard that is used in many established e-sports games today. There will be a leveling system as well which will progress as you complete matches. Stats will be recorded during each session so that you can follow your progression along and track how well you're doing compared to past games.
