What is RuneCraft?
RuneCraft is our take on the Tug-Of-War Genera. It mixes a few classic, tug staples in with tons of fresh gameplay ideas and enhancements to present the best Tug-Of-War experience in Starcraft 2. Players take control of a powerful mage, capable of creating ancient markings called runes. These ancient runes contain miraculous powers- everything from summoning creatures out of the great void, to unleashing deadly psionic storms upon your foes. It's easy to learn, but difficult to master.
How does the Rune system work?
RuneCraft contains a huge array of runes, all of which provide a variety of different effects. There are 5 main types of runes, all of which can be combined with up to 2 other "sub-runes" to form Runic Circles. The system allows for a huge amount of player choice. Combine a Summoning Rune with a marine rune, and you get a circle that spawns marines. Add in a shield rune, and your marines will be better protected. These are the 5 main types of "base" runes, from which you can attach additional runes to form powerful structures
