More about this game

Your goal is to descend as deep as possible into an endless dungeon, defeating monsters and bosses along the way. The core loop involves tapping to attack, casting elemental skills to exploit enemy weaknesses, and collecting gold and gear to grow stronger. Difficulty scales up as you reach deeper floors, with enemies gaining more health and damage. A run ends when your HP reaches zero, returning you to the menu to spend permanent talent points.

Tips
  • Bosses have elemental wards that must be broken. Hitting them with their specific elemental weakness breaks the ward and stuns them.
  • Building a combo increases your damage by up to 45%. Keep attacking quickly to maintain the combo multiplier and deal massive damage to enemies.
  • Shields automatically block a percentage of incoming damage. Equip a better shield to increase your auto-block chance up to a maximum of 75%.
Questions

How do I unlock new jobs?

You unlock new jobs by reaching higher hero levels across your runs. The Mage unlocks at level 5, and the Rogue unlocks at level 10.

What happens when I die?

When your HP reaches zero, your run ends and you lose your current inventory. However, you keep your permanent talent points to upgrade your base stats.

How do elemental weaknesses work?

Fire beats Air, Air beats Earth, Earth beats Water, and Water beats Fire. Using the correct element deals 1.5x damage, while using the wrong one deals reduced damage.
