Before you set out

Is Arcane Familiars free?

Yes. Free to play. The phone apps offer optional passes, and ads only when you choose to watch one; nothing interrupts play.

What can I play it on?

Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone and iPad. One account, one save, on every device.

What kind of game is it?

A hand-painted creature-collecting RPG: bind wild familiars, raise them and watch them ascend, across three realms. Every familiar, picture and name is original.

How long is it?

A story across three realms, then a climb that never ends: rifts, legends, the Deep Delve and the Endless Spire.

Can I play with friends?

Yes. Raid rifts together, trade and send gifts, duel in ranked seasons and join a Circle.

Which languages does it speak?

English, Simplified Chinese, Malay and Indonesian.

The element chart

ELEMENT MATCHUPS

Find the attacking element down the left and the defending familiar's element across the top. 2 is double damage, ½ is half, 0 is none at all, and a blank square is normal damage. Against a familiar with two elements both count: 2 and 2 make four times the damage, and 2 and ½ cancel out.

Element matchups: attacking element by row, defending element by column
