More about this game
Aether Door: Elemental Depths is a top-down action game where you clear rooms of enemies using elemental magic. You can unleash heavy melee strikes or charge up wide magical bursts to defeat foes. After clearing a room, you choose one of three mystery doors, leading to treasures, shops, or deadlier monsters. Difficulty increases with each floor, and every tenth floor features a powerful boss. A run ends when your health reaches zero.
Tips
- Charging your burst slows your movement, so make sure you have enough space before holding the button.
- Heavy strikes push enemies back, which is useful when you are surrounded by wraiths.
- Save your gold for the shop rooms where you can buy permanent upgrades for your run.
Questions
How do I heal?
You can sometimes find healing orbs dropped by enemies, or pick a relic like Living Bloom from a treasure room to increase your max life and heal.
What do the different doors mean?
The doors are a mystery until you enter them. They can lead to a Monster room, an Elite fight, a Treasure room, or a Shop.
How do I beat the bosses?
Bosses appear every 10 floors. Watch for their warning runes on the ground to dodge their special attacks, and keep moving while charging your bursts.
