About the Game

Embark on an idle incremental adventure set in a dungeon teeming with monsters. Progress through each deep where every boss room presents a unique opportunity to free prisoners. These allies, once liberated, can be trained in essential skills to bolster your journey: forge swords with Sword Masters to enhance your offense, create protective shields with Skill Masters, and acquire special, powerful items from Trade Masters, like buffs for critical hits and weapon upgrades.

.
Defeat the boss to dive deeper, free more prisoners, and strengthen your team:
  • Sword Master: make idle swords to improve your attack.

.

  • Shield Master: offer powerfull shields to increase your attack more.

  • Trade Master: gain powerful items like critical hit buffs and weapon upgrades.
