About the Game

šŸŽ® About This Game

A Roguelike + Auto-battler strategy adventure game where every run features a completely different route. Recruit Emoji partners along the way to build a squad, arm your team with unique weapons, obtain powerful relics that change the rules, arrange your formation for automatic battles, and experience unknown random events. Lead your squad through five distinct worlds and try to survive until the end.

šŸ—ŗļø No Two Maps Are the Same

In every adventure, a brand new route map unfolds before you. With winding and intersecting paths, you cannot set foot on every node. Challenge the elites, or take a detour to strengthen your lineup? Every fork in the road is a gamble, and different choices lead to different endings.

āš”ļø They Fight on Their Own

When the horn sounds, the Emojis charge into the battlefield on their own. Who takes the hits, who deals the damage, and who turns the tide—you cannot intervene. The only thing you can do is plan before the battle starts: who stands in the five positions, and what weapon each should hold. Leave the rest to them.

✨ Train Your Emojis

Three identical Emojis can be merged to star up, multiplying their stats. But starring up is just a quantitative change; Awakening is the qualitative leap. Awakening reshapes skills, adding brand new mechanics to ordinary abilities. Starring up gives you power; Awakening gives you possibilities.

šŸ”® Equipment Rewrites RulesĀ 

Weapons do more than just increase numbers; they change the way Emojis fight: the trajectory, rhythm, and even the purpose of attacks. Relics directly tamper with the rules, bringing qualitative changes to your entire lineup. Try different combinations, and you might invent a playstyle that belongs only to you.

⛺ Respite Between Battles

Not every node leads to combat. You will encounter treasure chests, merchants, and camps to replenish supplies and awaken new skills. But gold is never enough, and inventory slots are always limited. Every supply run and trade-off sets the stakes for the next fierce battle.

šŸŽ­ Anything Can Happen on the Road

You might gain a partner from a stranger's proposal, or lose your strongest teammate due to a rash answer. Generosity comes with a price, while desperation may hide a turning point. Across five journeys, something is waiting for you around every corner.
