Hold the last Spire against an endless galaxy of invaders. Arcane Spire is a fast, tactical tower-defense roguelite. Deploy planet-turrets across the lanes, read each incoming fleet, and spend your Power Surges at exactly the right moment. One tower stands between the swarm and the core. How deep can you hold? HOW IT PLAYS • Deploy planet-turrets: lasers, chain arcs, frost, burn, knockback and singularity vortices, each with its own role on the battlefield. • Draft a Power Surge between spawns: more power, crit, fire-rate, a fresh planet, or a screen-clearing Cryo or Gale pulse. • Call in five boosters mid-fight: Overdrive, Crossfire, Cryo Shatter, Ion Storm and Time Dilation. Each has its own window and its own way to turn a losing wave. • Cast potions on cooldown: Firestorm, Frost Nova, Healing Brew, Gale Burst. • Read the fleet. Shielded cruisers, armored juggernauts, fighter swarms and two-phase bosses each demand a different answer. • Clear the boss, bank your coins and shards, upgrade your arsenal, and push one world deeper. FEATURES • 10 handcrafted worlds, from the Astra Belt to the endless Void Abyss. Each world raises the difficulty band, swaps the enemy pool, and ends on a boss. • Roguelite runs. Every attempt earns currency toward stronger planets and permanent upgrades. You always come back sharper. • 28 planet-turrets to unlock, mix and master, from starter blasters to mythic singularities. Then mount moons on them for a second weapon layer. • Orbital Siege: a 150-level radial-defense campaign with its own upgrades, drafts and checkpoints. • Global leaderboard. Submit your best wave and climb the ranks. Optional sign-in keeps your progress across devices. • Snappy one-hand controls, built for quick sessions. • Play offline. The whole campaign is single-player, no connection required. FAIR & FREE • Free to play. Optional rewarded ads and in-app purchases (gem packs and a premium world), never required to progress. • No pay-to-win walls: every planet and upgrade is earnable by playing. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | 5 charges of each of the 5 sie | $4.99 | one-time | | 4 star pieces + 1 moon piece + | $4.99 | one-time | | fill all remaining defense lan | $0.99 | one-time | | same grant | $4.99 | one-time | | same grant | $3.99 | one-time | | same grant | $2.99 | one-time | | same grant | $5.99 | one-time | | Avatar Recon Set | $4.99 | one-time | | Champion Recon Set | $4.99 | one-time | | Havoc Champion | $4.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.133.1 — 2026-10-02 Champions are now available to all players.
