Beta Playtest Registration is Now Open!
The first ever public playtest for Spellbroker is officially coming this December, and I’m inviting you to jump in early and help shape the game’s future!
In this playtest, you’ll get access to a limited slice of the gameplay loop through the Time Trial Mode — a fast-paced, bite-sized experience where you’ll buy low, sell high, and bend the market to your will, earning as much money as you can before the clock runs out. It’s not the full Career Mode YET, but it will give you a solid taste of the chaos and strategy the game is all about.
During the playtest you can expect:
Fast-paced, strategic challenges in a bit-sized limited time mode
✨ Spellcasting that manipulates prices and the marketplace
Randomized runs to keep each attempt fresh
A chance to give feedback that will directly influence development
Your feedback is incredibly valuable — I’m a solo dev, and this early test helps me refine core systems, discover bugs, and balance the magical economy before the full game launches.
More details (including exact playtest dates) will be shared soon.
For now, hit that Wishlist button, register for the Playtest, join the Rufalicious Gaming Discord, and get ready to conjure up some profit!
Thanks for supporting Spellbroker — can’t wait to see how much gold you can squeeze out of the market!
-----------------
Magic meets money in this fast-paced, isometric pixel art marketplace simulator, where spellcraft and strategy collide.
You are the Spellbroker — a magician-merchant mastering the flow of a living, breathing magical economy.
Buy low. Sell high.
Watch prices rise and fall in real time as you trade dozens of magical items. Predict market crashes, ride profit spikes, and outsmart the unpredictable trends of a world driven by arcane forces. Every transaction counts, and every sale charges your magical items with power.
Harness your magic.
Profits you earn from trade on the market will charge magic items that can be unleashed to bend the market itself to your will. Cast spells to freeze time, ignite profit chains, reveal future trends, or protect your goods from catastrophic crashes. Potions provide timed boosts; spells offer limited-use enchantments — both are key to your success.
Build your fortune. Master the market.
Experiment with different combinations of potions and spells to create your own trading strategies. Balance risk and reward as random crashes, rapid booms, and chaotic shifts test your timing and intuition.
Featuring a stylized pixel art aesthetic, a dynamic real-time economy, and a deeply satisfying feedback loop of buying, selling, and casting, Spellbroker transforms the magic of trading into an enchanting game of power, timing, and fortune.
Will you control the market — or let the market control you?
