Wielders of the Essence

Wielders of the Essence combines horde survival with incremental town building. Developed by Lavapotion and published by Lavapotion and Coffee Stain Publishing, it sends you into short runs to defeat enemies, collect loot and confront bosses.

Back home, new buildings unlock troops, spells and skills for later expeditions. Six playable Wielders offer different approaches, with additional modes and difficulty settings to explore. Wielders of the Essence is scheduled to launch on PC on November 5, 2026. A Steam demo is available.
