19 itemsAbout the Game
You play as a Banebreaker, a mortal bound by fate, descending into a cursed land that reshapes itself with every run.
Wield legendary weapons and divine artifacts, build powerful elemental combat styles, and fight demons and fallen gods in fast-paced, skill-based battles.
With each death and rebirth, you grow stronger and move closer to uncovering the truth behind the blood moon calamity.
Step into the post-Deification world and explore five distinctive chapters.
Venture into the southern Ghostwood, cross the desolate Wasteland, and seek answers to the calamity that binds this world. Within these ancient realms lie trials of cultivation, artifacts, and mythical monsters to conquer.
As your journey deepens, new Banebreakers will awaken - each with their own abilities, fighting styles, and untold stories.
Fluid Action Combat: High-speed battles that reward positioning, timing, and mastery.
Five Elements System: Each element introduces unique mechanics. Focus on one element or combine several to unlock powerful synergies.
Weapon & Skill Synergy: Awaken the hidden potential of legendary weapons and define your combat style every run.
Legendary artifacts from the Deification myths fight alongside you, from Nezha’s Qiankun Hoop to other iconic relics.
Artifacts activate automatically during combat
Each artifact can evolve with unique effects
Combine artifacts with elemental builds for deep, run-defining synergies
In DemonBane: Ascension, artifacts are not just equipment; they are your build.
Ascension & Tribulation: Break through cultivation realms, endure heavenly trials, and unlock transformative powers.
Permanent Progression: Strengthen weapons, expand artifact slots, and prepare for the next descent.
Multiple Paths: Learn talents from different cultivation factions, no single doctrine binds your growth.
As a mortal who dares challenge the divine, you will encounter legendary figures and remnants of the Deification War, uncover forgotten scrolls, and piece together a forbidden truth: the so-called Heavenly Tao may not be salvation, but a prison forged by the gods themselves.
When the fog over the North Sea finally parts, what truth will remain?
