About the game

You choose a hero and fight through forests, traps and dungeon rooms on the way to the Dark Citadel. Each run rearranges the route and offers temporary trinkets alongside equipment you keep. Back in town, you spend resources on buildings, improve your gear and prepare another attempt. Defeating the Citadel opens harder New Game+ runs with further rewards.

Friends can tackle the same run online. Different classes bring healing, close attacks or ranged spells, so your choices affect how you support one another in crowded fights. You can change skills and try another build when new equipment turns up. Expect repeated battles and gradual growth, with quieter breaks in town between attempts.
