Arcane Showdown

Bite-Sized Strategy


It's wizard fight night! Arcane Showdown pits two mages against each other in a fight to take the other's tower. Players must gather resources, expand their territory, and summon minions to become the ultimate mage. The gameplay is fast-paced, forcing players to split their focus across different parts of the map. With matches under 4 minutes, Arcane Showdown is the perfect RTS to play on PC or on the go.

Depth of Gameplay


Arcane Showdown is easy to learn, but becomes more complex as players discover new strategies through play. Players can build a deck from over 60 minions and spells and employ a variety of strategies that make every match unique. With fog of war, multiple focus points, and intense battles, Arcane Showdown harkens back to classic RTS games.

Made for Live Ops
