Wardlock feels like learning chess again for the first time.

Same positional strategy, but every match is unique.
You control a random Ward and a random spell pool force you to devise a distinct plan.

One game you play the Sun Mage. Firebolt. Ice Storm. Summon Phoenix.
Next game it's the Moon Mage. Pull. Icebolt. Protect.

No two games play the same way, and there's no opening theory to memorize — just the hand you're dealt and the wit to use it.

Freeze a piece in place. Call down AoE fire across the board. Summon a phoenix that explodes on death. Your ward — the rotating, powerful center-back piece — defines the pace of every game: the unstoppable Brute, the Sun Mage raining fire, the Moon Mage cutting beams across the board.

CONQUER
Win by reaching the enemy back row or eliminating their Ward. No stalemates. No draws. Every game ends with a winner.

CONTROL THE CENTER
The middle row is contested mana ground. Hold it, and your mana snowballs. Cede it, and you'll be casting on empty.

PLAY MODES
Delve into the campaign with seven different bosses, four difficulties, plus a Hardcore mode for players seeking the ultimate challenge.

You can also challenge a friend online, or join the queue and find a match. Got someone nearby? Pass-and-play local multiplayer is an option too. Fast-paced, 30 seconds turns. Fit a few games into a lunch break.

Plays perfectly offline, a truly perfect game for planes or road trips.

ONE AND DONE
No ads.
