About the Game

The deity of this world has decided to destroy it in three days. His avatar awaits the world's champion at the top of the Mountain of Power. A legion of enemies stand in your way, each with unique strengths and weaknesses that you must find a way to exploit if you don't want your journey stopped short. Can you build up your strength in time and reach the mountain?

You may have to save the world, but nobody said you had to do it alone. Meet strange characters along the way and build a party of up to 3 to take on the challenges that await you ahead. Mix and match their unique traits to find overpowered strategies and devious combos.

Or, if spreading the loot and experience around is not your thing, go it alone and challenge yourself with a 1 or 2 character run. See how far you can get.

Find hundreds of items on your journey. Upgrade, modify, and collect specialized equipment and powerful abilities. Design your own build to face the challenges ahead. Will you be a specialized mage, an unbreakable tank, or a jack-of-all-trades?

Buy, sell, reforge, and risk your items as you go, all in the name of finding the perfect build.

Track your progress from run to run as you uncover every item in the game. You never know when you'll find something you've never seen before.

Queue up abilities or just let them duke it out with auto attacks as your party fights constantly changing matchups in this unique take on RPG combat. Pause the round as you carefully plan out your next move or turn up the battle speed and let it all ride. Battles happen at your own pace.

Win or lose there's always a fresh run with all new challenges to start in this expansive roguelike. Encounters, map locations, items, shops, bosses, everything is randomly seeded each playthrough.
