About the game
Each run takes you through new levels across four areas. You fight monsters and bosses, jump over traps, grab ledges and pick up items with magic effects. Death is permanent, so you learn the traps and bosses over many tries.
Up to four players can join, on one device or online. Each player picks a class such as the knight, rogue or mage, with its own weapon and skills, so a group can cover each other's weak spots. Every extra player makes the game harder.
It is a hard game that suits friends who like failing and trying again together. Unlocks such as new classes come slowly across many runs.
