## What is Shardwell?

Monsters march down the road toward your mana well. Mana is your life and your money: it builds towers, forges gems and banishes any monster that slips through. Run dry and the well breaks.

Create gems in seven colors, each with its own power: splash, leech, crit, poison, slow, shred and hex. Fuse two gems of a grade into the next one, each grade with its own cut, transmute their colors, mix them once they are Polished for harder-hitting dual gems, or join all seven colors into a Prismatic gem. Perfect gems awaken new powers like chain lightning and deep freeze, and Royal gems charge a super power with every kill. Socket them in towers, set them in traps on the road, throw them to shatter over a crowd, or feed them to an oncoming wave to anger it for more XP.

- A 41-field journey across five regions, from the Moorlands to the Sunscar Dunes, with branching roads, hidden fields and Warden battles behind arcane locks, each Warden with tricks of its own
- 7 gem types, 7 awakened powers and 7 super powers
- 70 rings to earn: battle feats, journey milestones and lost rings hidden in ruins, plus a medal for every mode of every field
- Towers, traps and thrown gems
- 36 skills in four trees, most with 10 ranks, and hundreds of wizard levels; reset them any time. Beat The Shardwell and start a New Journey with tougher monsters and more XP
- An illustrated guide for your first battle and a Gem guide where you can try any mix
- 10 battle modes, from Sudden Death and Time Siege to Beyond Corruption, with triple XP in three modes per field, and seven traits to make any battle harder for more XP
- Giants, wraiths that glide over traps, hydras that split when they fall, menders, monster colors, beacons and monster nests that change how every field plays
- Music of its own for every region (turn it off in Settings), a Chronicle of your journey's numbers, and a result card to share after every battle
- No ads, no accounts, works offline; progress follows you across your devices through iCloud
- Color letters for colorblind players, a larger text setting, a Fewer effects setting for older iPhones, and screen shake you can turn off
- Optional shards for continues, XP Tomes and head starts, and three charm rings sold for money. Every field, mode, skill, ring and medal can be earned without paying; the charm rings are the only things that cannot
