About

Bone Tide

Read full description

Bone Tide is a horde survival game where you try to endure endless waves of skeletons while exploring a tree of magical abilities. Master the elements, unlock powerful keystone alterations, discover synergies and defend the meadow for as long as you can. Every wave the skeleton army grows faster and deadlier, and warriors, rogues, archers, mages and hulking amalgams will all try to cut your adventure short. Survive long enough and you will face the colossus itself, a towering beast that walks only under the blood moon. Master an arsenal of powers: - Nova, a mighty explosion channeled with each stopped skeleton - Meteor, called down from the sky to crack the earth where it lands - Chain Lightning, arcing from bone to bone through the packed horde - Venom Darts, seeking their marks and dripping poison in their wake - Gravity Well, a singularity that drags the dead spiraling in before it bursts - Ice Spikes, a wall of frozen teeth that chills the charge and blocks the path - Fire and Deluge, elemental fields that burn and drown whole stretches of the meadow - Spirit Blades, circling you and cutting on their own There are more powers than slots to carry them, so every build is your own. Pick your own difficulty. Want to explore the magical abilities with little stress, or test your reflexes and knowledge on the hardest tier? The game saves after every wave, so you never lose much progress, and separate save slots let you keep your record run going while you experiment with other builds. A full set of graphics options lets you fine tune the experience to your liking. Play offline, no ads, no login, nothing to buy. How far can you go?
