In-game

« Please give the game x2 or x3 speed, I wasted so much time waiting for every aura and skill to proc. Dashing is a bit clunky. Nevertheless, the game is fun with a fun twist of collecting monsters in a rogue-like. »

« I legitimately love moi rai - Monster Sanctuary was such a beautiful game. Early access of Aethermancer is very promising and reaffirmed my admiration and trust in moi rai, and I can't wait to see how far this game goes. Thanks for this! »

« Actually interesting but I feel like the traveling part is pointless. It might be better just fighting monsters at a faster rate. Not bad for an early access, but it need to be polished. »

Who is it for?

Is Aethermancer worth it in 2026?
