TotemFall (BETA)

Welcome to our game the Totemfall Public Beta!

Totemfall is a fast-paced, roguelite action-defense hybrid where you take command of a lone wizard defending a sacred obelisk against unrelenting corrupted hordes. Positioned on an ancient battleground, you must cast elemental spells, manage mana, summon frontline allies, and tailor your build on the fly through an interactive deck-building upgrade system.

Current Beta State & Roadmap

This release represents an active Beta build. While the core survival loop, procedural arena generation, and online leaderboards are fully playable, the game is under heavy development.

We already have concrete upgrades lined up for future updates:

• Custom Original Assets: While the current build utilizes community pixel-art asset packs to validate mechanics, our main goal is replacing them with 100% original, handcrafted art and animations to grant Totemfall its own unique visual identity.
• Expanded Arsenal & Synergy Decks: Additional spell types, passive relics, and elemental combos.
• New Biomes & Boss Encounters: More environmental hazards, elite enemy behaviors, and unique biome bosses.
• Refined Combat Feel: Ongoing balance adjustments to difficulty scaling, particle effects, and screen feedback.

We Need Your Feedback!

As independent developers, player input is the most valuable tool we have:

• Did you enjoy the premise and core mechanics?
• How does the balance feel between player progression and horde difficulty?
• What features, spells, or enemy mechanics would you love to see in upcoming patches?

Please leave a comment below or share your high scores! Every critique, idea, and bug report directly shapes the direction of the project.

Support the Development

Totemfall is available to play for free under a Name Your Own Price model.

Game development demands a massive investment of both time and resources—from software tools and engine optimizations to commissioning custom art and audio. If you enjoy the project and want to see it evolve into a fully realized commercial release, any voluntary donation or tip via Itch.io makes a massive difference.
