Six wizards. One island. One survivor. RuneNite is a fast multiplayer battle royale you can play in a couple of minutes. Charge an orb, lead your shot, and duel across an island that keeps shrinking until only one wizard is left standing. PICK YOUR WIZARD Abra-Kadaddy, Bone Blade, Gandalicious, or Sizzlewick — choose before you drop. CHARGE AND RELEASE Hold to charge, release to fire. A full charge hits harder and flies further, but standing still to build it is how wizards die. THE STORM CLOSES IN The safe zone shrinks on a timer. Get caught outside it and it drains you, which means the map does half the fighting for you. LOOT AND POWER-UPS Chests glow across the island. Crack one for extra speed, rapid fire, a fan of orbs, a ring of guard orbs, or shots that leave your hands at full charge. Effects stack, and each runs on its own timer. A DRAGON VISITS Mid-match, a rune dragon drops onto the island and torches the ground. Stay out of its way. BUILT FOR SHORT SESSIONS Matches are quick. Play a round while the kettle boils. Requires an internet connection.
