Overview
Description

Step into the shoes of Lillet Blan, a young magician attending the prestigious Tower of Silver Star. When a mysterious tragedy causes everyone to vanish and traps her in a repeating five-day time loop, Lillet must master the art of summoning and magic to uncover the truth and prevent disaster. Combine real-time strategy mechanics with a rich fantasy narrative inspired by classic magical academy tales. Command various familiar spirits, utilize diverse elemental magic systems, and relive crucial moments to outsmart the forces threatening the tower and change your fate.

Gyromancer combines classic match‑3 puzzle gameplay with a deep role‑playing narrative set in the mysterious Aldemona Wood. Players control magician Rivel Arday and ranger Laska as they uncover a plot of rebellion and intrigue. Developed by PopCap Games and Square Enix, the game offers a single‑player experience on PC and Xbox 360, delivering vibrant HD graphics, spell‑casting combos, and a story that unfolds through each puzzle battle.
