Rune Link: Link Puzzle RPG

[Link the Runes. Five Heroes Fight as One] Rune Link is a link puzzle RPG where you connect runes of the same element to fill attack slots, then battle dungeon monsters with a party of five heroes. Simple one-handed controls, but every turn asks a real question: which runes do you link? [One Link, One Element] Match runes of the same element on a 7x5 board. Each link loads into one attack slot. Fill all three slots and your party strikes the monsters ahead in order. - Fire: focused damage on the current target - Water: hits the current target and the next one - Lightning: area damage to all monsters Hit a monster's elemental weakness for bonus damage. Which element goes in which slot changes how the fight ends. [Read the Target, Choose Who Survives] When the enemy turn ends, a target marker appears over the hero who will be attacked next. Link shield runes to clear the marker, hold the line with your healer, or take the hit and go on offense. Enemy actions are shown in advance. Use what you know and decide your next move. [Fill the Mana, Unleash the Skill] Using runes builds mana for the hero of that element. Tap a hero's portrait once their mana is full to fire a unique special skill. Area attacks, front-line defense, party heals and more. Every hero plays differently, and your five-hero lineup shapes your whole strategy. [Bosses Pressure You with Missions and Fury] Boss fights add missions: link specific runes within a limited number of turns. Fail one and the boss can trigger enrage, element locks, area-wide targeting and other special attacks. When the boss FURY gauge fills, a devastating signature attack goes off. Boss actions are telegraphed, so read the board and prepare. [A New Challenge Every Day] - Campaign Stages: region-by-region adventures and area bosses, starting from the Astraea Plains - Rune Raid: three runs a day against a massive boss whose rules shift each phase - Daily Dungeon: farm experience and gold to grow your party - Rune Spire: climb floor by floor through a tower whose element rotates weekly [Collect, Train, Promote] Your heroes grow with every victory. Each tier has a level cap. Reach it and you can promote a hero using shards, gold and tier stones. Build your heroes up and take on tougher enemies and harder content. Gacha tickets can also be earned daily by watching ads. [The Story] Runes are an ancient power that carries the life force of the world. The Rune Link Guild belongs to no nation. Its work is to recover runes across the world and keep the balance. Sera, a knight in training, and Theo, a rune researcher, are handed their first assignment: clear out the bandits on the plains.
