About game
Fans of high-speed action will love how Rune Rush: Arena turns simple movement into a frantic battle for survival. You control a living rune that auto-fires at incoming threats while dodging through dense crowds of enemies. Master the dash mechanic to slip past danger and remain invulnerable for a split second during tight spots. Every green shard you collect levels up your character, letting you pick fresh upgrades to customize your combat style. Multishot and piercing projectiles help you clear waves before the screen gets too crowded. You face a massive Rift Warden boss every five waves to test your current build. Daily Rift challenges let you compete against others on a global leaderboard to prove your skills. Experience this intense roguelike challenge right now in your browser without any downloads.
