## What is Rune Hunter?

Rune Hunter is a one-handed survival action RPG built for 3-minute runs. Just drag to move — your hero attacks automatically and sweeps up the monsters swarming from every side. Survive 3 minutes and the ruler of the land appears.

Every level-up, pick one of three cards. Grow weapons, runes and your hero's unique skills, and when the right skills pair up they fuse into a screen-filling ultimate. The same weapon plays completely differently depending on its rune partner, so every run is a new build.

KEY FEATURES

• Five heroes — Knight (melee tank), Mage (area damage), Hunter (mobile sniper), Cleric (healing support) and the time-stopping Chronomancer
• Five unique skills per hero plus a fusion ultimate, and 10 shared weapons with two evolution paths each
• Awaken max-level heroes up to five stars — a golden aura, starting bonuses and 5-star ultimates
• Pick a Rune Contract before each run — rules change every battle, and so do the rewards
• Five regions and bosses that change form at half health
• Gather the five runes scattered by the Rift to unlock the final chapter, "Heart of Runes"
• A new Weekly Challenge every week, three short Trials and Daily Missions
• Collect 20 relics and 24 pets — pets evolve as they level up
• No account needed. Start instantly; progress is saved on your device
