About


Encounter the monsters of Terastae that defied the virtues of this world and are trapped in a cycle of death and rebirth. Use your special ability as an Aethermancer to form bonds with monsters to guide your party of three through a sprawling world and dangerous battles. Make smart skill choices as your monsters grow stronger and find synergies between your monsters - making every one truly unique!

Fight ferocious enemies and divine bosses in engaging turn-based battles where every action matters! Manage and harness the four elements of Aether to unleash powerful spells. Consider your synergies and plan your monsters actions. Purge enemy Aether, grind your opponents down with poison, protect your allies with shields, focus on attacking with the right elements - you can pursue different strategies! But whatever you do, keep a careful eye on the HP of your monsters…

If a monster dies in combat, you’ll lose it. Permanently. But you have the power to defy death by rebirthing their souls. Don’t lose hope! Your monsters might change in the process, but will still be the same companions you once established a soul bond with and will grow stronger from their previous lives.

With every level up you get to decide in which direction your monsters will grow. Every monster has a dynamic skill pool that reacts to previous choices and other monsters you have in your team, enabling you to create powerful teams. Experiment with a myriad of unique team builds with every run!

Meet various characters who will help you and your monsters throughout your journey! Uncover their stories and dig into the lore of this world - all fueled by your choices and encounters. Help liven the village up by gathering townsfolk, hearing them out, and doing what only a true Aethermancer can do!

The Aethermancer has many faces - and each of them come with entirely new mechanics and abilities. Unlock new player classes to shake up the way you play and how you decide to build your party.


Use your Aethermancer abilities to explore, sneak and fight your way through procedurally generated levels while your monsters gain Worthiness. Keep going until you lose your monsters… then come back stronger and try again!

I adore this game! I love the monster collecting and team building mechanics, and the rouge-like element is fantastic!
.
This game is amazing. If you played Monster Sanctuary, this is the natural progression from there. I can easily lose 100 more hours during unlocking everything available in EA and collecting the remaining monsters. A comment below by @Dallicles said "...every team feels both viable and rewarding to flesh out". I couldn't agree more. I finished my first run with Nixe, Cockatrice, and Wyrmling and they really shouldn't have had much synergy. Being able to take a "slop" team and still make it viable due to mechanics to finish my run successfully (first run too!) was really satisfying. Give the demo a try. If it clicks, then buy the game. I'm definitely satisfied.
Great game! Excellent patches, keep coming back and enjoy it every time.
전작 재밌게했는데 ㅈㄴ 정신머리 없는 겜을 애써서 만들었네ㅜ
Really fun game even though it is early access and there are 2 more really big updates, definitely worth buying even at it is current state. You can build a lot of different synergies with your team also i like the alchemist style where you can change your creatures on the way really helpful for me since i don't have too much knowledge and can adjust creatures on the go. I don't like grinding on these type of games. My 2 runs(2/2, second one being on higher difficulty) ended up with success so if you build your team right it doesn't seem like you need to grind much for upgrades (there are 2 more higher difficulties so not sure yet.)
I don't write reviews for games that much but with in the first few mins of it. I was blown away. I love the music. the mp is shot but calm. Perfect fr steam deck or any hand held
Para que drogas si existe este vicio. Hay cositas a mejorar pero 9/10
Sehr Geil.
Game is great, the game has far more content then I first thought / expected. The game has amazing team-building / a strong strategy component to the game Especially with the altered versions. great game would recommend
