The team

Two old friends, one world

More than ten years of friendship, and the two names that wear gold in the game.

A self-taught coder, five years in, and Elusion's first push. allmind.dev

Charles E. Clemmey Jr.

We met in Mirage Realms, then played Mystera Legacy and Darza's Dominion together — ten years of friendship and absolute trust. AllMind gave Elusion its first push; after a year of me coding alone he came back, liked what he saw, and now we build it together. — Robert

The game

What's in the world

More than a boss fight — a full run from town, through the portal, and back.

Four classes

Warrior, Mage, Healer and Tank — each plays nothing like the others.

Bullet hell and seven bosses

Weave through every monster's bullets, then face the Crowned Beholder in all seven elements.

A world to live in

Fishing, cooking, a smith and pets — more than the fight.

Trade with anyone

Items and gold, face to face, and Accept only ever agrees to the offer on your screen.

Play together

Fight the same monsters live, each with your own loot, in a party with chat and voice, or a guild.

Built to be fair

Every coin and item is the server's, and 11,000+ tests treat every player as hostile.

The world

Seven elements, gentlest to deepest

Every monster past the portal belongs to one of seven elements, from light, the gentlest, to dark, the deepest. Each has its own patch of the Field, and each pays back what it costs you — the deeper the element, the better the gear.

The latest pushes

The road to launch, one build at a time. Now on v0.92.0.

v0.92.0

A friendlier first few minutes. A new character now gets a gold pointer that shows the way: to the portal into the town square, then the portal out to the Big Field, then your first enemy. It goes away after your first kill. Every new character also starts with five health potions on hotbar key 1 (mages and healers get five mana potions on key 2 as well), and the welcome card now tells you the shop gives most classes a free mythic weapon.

v0.91.3

On a phone, the Use button now stays on screen beside your health and mana, and the Menu button sits further in from the corner, so it is no longer cut off.

v0.91.2

On a phone, the left half of the screen is the move stick and the right half is Attack: put your right thumb down anywhere there and the Attack button appears under it. Hold to keep attacking, drag to aim, lift and it is gone. Nothing covers the game until you touch it.
