Description

Arcanists is a thrilling competitive + casual, multiplayer, turn-based, artillery game.

Players take turns in a race against the clock, utilizing an array of spells to defeat their opponents in battle!
Victory is accomplished by becoming the 'last man standing' (or last team) after all other players have been reduced to zero hitpoints.
