About the Game

Tactical team-building roguelike auto-battler with active and passive playstyles. Draft a team, level them up, equip loot, and stack Traits to maximize your synergies. Fight through randomized maps, using your spells and Masteries to support and refine your builds. Explore multiple Zones to conquer challenging bosses and help your team escape the Underboard.

Tactical Roguelike Auto Battler

  • Characters battle on their own based on positioning and aggression. Look out for enemy threats and position your team accordingly.

  • Build a team of characters with traits, items and spells to create the best synergies you can.

  • Cast spells to actively support your team in battles, or reserve your Mana to grant them passive bonuses. Upgrade your best spells or go for more tactical flexibility.

Team Building

  • Draft a team of characters, each enhanced with random Traits. Matching Traits between characters grants further bonuses to your team.

  • Level up your characters by killing monsters, then kill bosses to unlock their evolutions.

  • Loot and craft items to equip characters with stat bonuses, extra traits or unique effects.

  • There are countless combinations of characters, traits, items, spells and hundreds of unique stats!

Deep Progression

  • Explore randomized maps shrouded in fog of war, full of monsters and treasures.

  • Unlock harder Zones to explore by killing Pinnacle bosses at the end of your explorations.

  • Each Zone has its own distinct theme, with its own enemies and bosses to conquer.

  • Unlock Masteries as you play, allowing you to further specialize your teams for future explorations!
