The first PvP quota game
Two to six players. One map. Everybody racing the same clock for their own Arcana quota, with a staff and six spells to make sure nobody else gets there first.
Every item you own is worth more one step up the chain — and every step up is somewhere other players have to be too.
Chests spawn across the map. Inside: spells, and Common items worth Arcana.
Four processors upgrade Common to Uncommon. Their types re-roll every match, so the route is never the same.
Uncommon becomes Rare only at the King of the Hill zone in the centre. Channel it, and hold it, while everyone else wants the same thing.
A trader swaps your Rare for an item that locks to your hand. You cannot fight. A marker floats over your head. It converts to Epic while you survive.
One Arcwell, shared by everyone, credited to your own pool. Hit your quota and the portal opens.
First through ends the match for everyone. Not just for you.
Alcurio takes the quota loop everyone already knows and removes the part where your friends are on your side.
Six players, one map, one quota each. There is no team to carry you and nobody to revive you. The fastest route to your quota usually runs straight through somebody else.
Your best payout is an item you cannot put down. It disarms you and it tells the entire lobby where you are. Every match ends in someone sprinting for the Arcwell with a target on their back.
Shrink someone. Bubble them. Ward yourself. Spells are one-use and wiped at the start of every match, so nobody comes in loaded.
You hear people before you see them. Deals get made at the processors and broken at the hill.
The same map, alone, on a fixed quota and a count-up clock, with a Steam leaderboard at the end of it.
Roll for skins and outfits with shards. None of it touches the balance.
Captured in-engine. Full resolution in the press kit.
Two to six, free-for-all. Everyone is racing their own quota on the same map at the same time.
Yes. You carry a staff and six sabotage spells, and you will use them on other players. This is a PvP game — Alcurio was a co-op game once, and it is not one any more.
Yes. Single Player Time Trial puts you on the same map with a fixed quota and a count-up clock, and uploads your run to a Steam leaderboard.
