The game features online and offline
single player and
multiplayer modes in the form of both
player versus player and
player versus environment experiences. Players take turns to manipulate units on a battle map with the objective of eliminating their rivals' most important unit, the
wizard. If a player loses their wizard, they lose the match and all of their units are removed from the battle map. By casting
spells the wizard can create new units, equip themselves with weapons, or directly attack another unit. The single-player campaign and Realm Quest mode are a narrative game world map overlay linking together a series of battles culminating in a
boss battle with the player(s) pitted against a wizard king unit and a wizard unit. The mode introduces both
strategy game and
role-playing game elements such as capturing infrastructure, sending units to a target, hiring mercenary units to accompany the wizard unit, and resolving story driven elements. Each match can involve the player controlling a number of creature units based upon
mythical and real-life animals and
supernatural beings. The player may start with these creature units by using mercenaries or villagers, or add creature units per turn by casting a spell to summon them. Many of these creature units also have abilities to distinguish them from others in a more tangible way than merely by differing values such as attack rating.
Duel Mode and Forge Crystals expansion In July 2016,

Winning unbroken Duels resulted in the player receiving escalating rewards in the form of Gold and Forge Crystals plus, once per day, a Talisman. The Forge Crystals could then be spent in the now unlocked to all players Equipment Forge allowing many for the first time to personalise their
game character's appearance and create custom Bodygear and Staffs.
