About the Game

Legend has it that any demon who follows Tang Sanzang to the West and helps retrieve the sacred scriptures may one day attain Buddhahood and become immortal.

In another world, a ragtag band of insignificant little monsters decides to seize that chance for themselves. Disguising themselves as the legendary five disciples, they set off on their own pilgrimage to the West.

Can a frog become Wukong? Can a venomous snake take the place of Tang Sanzang? Can a lazy sloth overcome the Eighty-One Trials, retrieve the sacred scriptures, and ultimately attain Buddhahood?

The Path to Immortality

From nameless little monsters, build a party of your own and embark on an epic journey inspired by the Journey to the West. Battle fierce enemies to earn experience, collect powerful loot, and evolve your heroes into legendary warriors. Complete the pilgrimage to retrieve the sacred scriptures and ultimately attain Buddhahood.

A Vast Roster of Heroes

Who will become Wukong? With a highly diverse roster of heroes, anyone can take on the role of one of the legendary pilgrims. A humble frog might become Sun Wukong, while a venomous snake could inherit the role of Tang Sanzang. Discover endless combinations and create a party unlike any other.

Overcome Countless Trials & Demons

The road to Buddhahood is filled with danger. Face hundreds of deadly encounters, powerful demons, and unique bosses, each with their own abilities and mechanics. Adapt your party composition, equipment, and strategy to survive every trial and emerge victorious.

Roguelite Meets Party-Based RPG

Every run is a new adventure. Build a unique party with countless combinations of heroes, equipment, and abilities. Upgrade your team, adapt to ever-changing enemies, and develop new strategies on every journey. No two playthroughs are ever the same.

Build Your Dream Party

Every decision matters. Roles, positioning, weapons, attributes, and team synergies all determine the outcome of battle. With deep customization and limitless team-building possibilities, create your own strategies and assemble the ultimate five-member party for every challenge.

Merge to Evolve

Merge your characters to boost their stats and unlock greater power, creating deeper strategic choices as you battle demons.
