Storm Casters by Get Set Games has just hit the App Store in New Zealand, which means it should be casting its spell over the UK at midnight tonight.

The game is a soft roguelike with some time stipulations that sees you wandering through dungeons, blasting everything that moves, and doing your best to get to the big bad boss before your time runs out.

You collect cards that give you new skills and unlock different powers, and you can spend the cash you earn during each play through on toughening up your character and buying yourself more time in the subterranean levels.

It's a decent chunk of fun, and while it's not as hard-edged as some dungeon crawlers we've seen recently, there's a frantic nature to the play that's hard to resist.

Storm Casters will set you back £1.49 / $1.99 when it hits the UK App Store later tonight, and we'd say it's probably worth a quick glance or two.
