Hello Everyone! :]
The playtest is officially open!
Registration is open to all. To sign up, visit the Steam Store Page. Here is a quick summary of what I hope to learn through the playtest:
Feedback on overall gameplay loop
Balancing of magic, enchantments, brewing, alchemy and other in-game buffs
Ease of understanding / how to combo effects / rogue-like buff stacking
Bugs or other issues
There is an in-game link for a quick feedback survey. You may also join the Discord for a more direct way to contact me and discuss feedback. You may also use Steam's Community Hub to post Discussions, as I will be checking there frequently during the playtest. Lastly, if you haven't already, please follow me on Instagram and/or Bluesky for more updates!
Please remember that this build is an early playtest version of the game. Some features are incomplete, visuals and effects may not reflect final quality, and bugs may be present. For testing purposes, all current features and systems are fully unlocked, which does not represent the intended progression of the final release.
Thank you everyone. I look forward to hearing more about your experience playing Spellbroker!

The first ever public playtest for Spellbroker is officially coming and I’m inviting you to jump in 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, visit the Store Page and 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!
