## What is Runebound Legends?

Weave magic across a realm of forgotten runes in Runebound Legends — a spellcasting twist on match-3 that rewards clever swaps over mindless taps.

Swap adjacent runes to match three or more, charge your spellbook, and cast devastating magic to shatter ward stones, break enemy counterattacks, and clear every board. Every rune you collect feeds a spell; time your casts and chain cascades to turn a quiet board into a storm of arcane power.

A HAND-CRAFTED CAMPAIGN
• 75 hand-built levels across five themed worlds — Awakening, Wandering, Seeking, Mastery, and Transcendence — each with its own story, terrain, boss, and original music.
• Every world ends in a boss that fights back: the Elder Treant, the Ruined Colossus, the Librarian, the Void Sovereign, and the Rune Titan.

A SPELLBOOK WORTH MASTERING
• 14 spells across four tiers, from quick novice cantrips to world-shaking master magic.
• Matching charges your rune bank; casting spends it. A spell costs runes but not a move, so the game is about when you spend a recipe — not how fast you tap.
• 24 runes, ward stones, hazards, frozen cells, vines, and portals keep every board different.

GROW YOUR POWER
• Earn stars and invest them in the Arcanum: three pillars of permanent upgrades that grant extra moves, widen your spells' reach, and soften what the board throws at you.
• Stars never gate progress. A hard three-star is optional, so you are never stuck behind one.

AN ORIGINAL CELTIC SCORE
• A unique druidic song for every world, with a procedural ambient bed of harp, violin, and drone drifting beneath your spellcasting.

EXPAND YOUR JOURNEY
• The Elemental Planes — one optional purchase that opens 1,100+ procedurally generated levels across 24 elemental realms, for when the campaign is behind you and you want the game to keep going.

PLAY YOUR WAY
• Plays fully offline. No account, no sign-up, nothing to log into.
• Lives refill on their own, or watch an optional rewarded advert to top up.
• Adverts between levels are kept deliberately rare: never in the early levels, never after a level you lost, and at most a few in a session.

Runebound Legends is free to play, contains adverts, and offers one optional in-app purchase. Download it and become the realm's greatest runecaster.
