In Spellcraft, you lead a team of powerful heroes and cast spells in real-time to decide the outcome of the fight. You and your opponent each bring a team of heroes into a fight, each wielding their own unique spells. You’ll arrange your heroes on the board and send them to battle, while you unleash an arsenal of powerful spells in real-time: some deal damage, some disrupt your enemies, and some yeet your heroes to safety in the nick of time.

Choose your party of three heroes to take into the fight and fine-tune your strategy by selecting from unique and powerful spells for each. Showcase your tactical mastery  by casting well-timed spells, dealing damage and disrupting your opponent’s best-laid plans. 

Created by devs behind classics like StarCraft, Diablo, Guild Wars, League of Legends and Magic: Arena, Spellcraft combines elements of competitive online multiplayer and tactical strategy games into an accessible, free-to-play package. Battles are brief and action-filled, so you can get more Ws in your game time!

“When we started One More Game, we knew that — more than anything else — we wanted to build something new,” said Jamie Winsor, Spellcraft game director and co-founder of One More Game. “We want to build games players love, and this playtest is our first time putting Spellcraft’s novel take on strategy games out in the open to find out if we’ve done that. We hope you check out Spellcraft and agree that it’s something special.”
