Description
About This Game
Spells, Loot and Action
You are the last guardian and the last hope of your people as shadows spread across the land. Strengthen your hero with character traits, abilities, spells, and powerful relics. Each run offers new builds, new choices, and new ways to survive.
Fight through hordes of enemies with unique mechanics and tactics. Manage your mana and stamina, dodge deadly attacks, unleash spells, and adapt your build before the darkness overwhelms you.
Inventory Management
Your true power lies in your backpack.
Every item you carry can change your fate. Strategically position and rotate weapons, armor, spells, relics, and crafting materials to make the most of your limited space. Items can interact with nearby gear, amplify stats, trigger synergies, or unlock hidden effects.
Some spells must be socketed into weapons or armor before they can be unleashed, while others grow stronger when placed beside the right items. A single rearranged item can transform your entire build.
Choose Your Adventure
Climb a procedurally generated map by choosing your route upward. Battle enemies and elites, open treasure chests, rest at campfires, visit merchants, and uncover secret encounters.
Choose carefully, adapt constantly, and survive through three deadly Acts. Every run is different: new loot, new talents, new challenges, and new build possibilities.
How far can you ascend?
