Tempesta Arcana

Un dito contro la tempesta.

A storm of magic has darkened the sky. Gather your team, spread your wings and fly through rains of glowing bullets: 32 heroes across five elements, nine chapters and 45 stages, played upright with one finger.

One finger. A thousand bullets.

A vertical danmaku shooter built for the phone: played upright, with one hand. Multi-phase bosses, fantasy heroes to summon and a team to grow.

Drag

Drag your finger anywhere on the screen: your hero follows and fires on its own.

Thread

You can only be hit in the tiny red dot at the hero’s centre: thread the needle between the bullets.

Graze

Graze enemy shots to earn points and mana. With a full mana bar, a spell wipes out the bullets.

Choose

Collect red crystals and pick one blessing out of three, from 41: max out both blessings of a recipe and they can fuse into one of 10 Fusions. Every run is different.

Screenshots

The Google Play screenshots, captured from the real game in version 0.7.0: the battle, the final boss, Evolution, the Heroes’ Haven, the squad and the summons.

32 heroes. Five elements.

Three heroes fly together, a captain and two companions, and the lead can be swapped in mid-flight; two more stay in the Reserve and lend their aura. Each hero has their own shot, spell, skill and aura: five elements, six faces out of the 32.

New ways to grow

0.7.0 is the biggest update yet: the Heroes’ Haven, Evolution, auras and the Arcane Library. Six things that change how you grow your team.

Heroes’ Haven

The heroes you don’t take into battle rest in a hall of six hearths and distill Essences of their element and Dust, even while the game is closed.

Evolution

At level 70 with six ascension grades a hero goes back to level 1, already stronger, and climbs to Evo VI: 7.5 times a level 70 hero without Evolution.

Auras and Reserves

Every hero’s talent becomes a team aura that levels up to 10; two Reserve slots lend their aura even from the bench, from 25% to 100%.

Arcane Library

A second energy adventure in ten levels, after the chapter 1 boss: Talent Tomes for auras and relics of the Banner, Choir and Chrysalis sets.

Fusions

Max out the two blessings of a recipe and a golden card shows up among the picks: ten Fusions that change how you play, like Thunder Tempest.

Relics and the Forge

Every hero wears a weapon, a talisman and a ring: seven rarities, sets with 2- and 3-piece bonuses, and Fusion at the Forge to go up a rarity.

Nine chapters. Into the heart of the storm.

From the Dawn Skies to the Eye of the Tempest: 45 stages, each chapter with its own enemies, guardians and music, and a five-phase boss.

A storm to watch and to hear.

3D graphics, character illustrations, a music track for every chapter and original sound effects. Every hero and every boss has their illustration, and the Heroes’ Haven is a painted hall where heroes rest in the alcoves.

Tempesta Arcana is free to play, with optional in-app purchases and random items: summon odds are always shown in the game before every summon.

All in all: 32 heroes across five elements, 9 chapters and 45 stages, 41 blessings and 10 Fusions, 14 familiars and 7 relic rarities.
