COMING AFTER LAUNCH

Planned updates, not included at release:

  • Clan War: clans battle each other for castles every week.

  • Infinite Tower: a second place to farm, climbing one floor after another.

  • And more.

An idle RPG that runs in a small window next to your taskbar, with an arena you can scale from 0.5x to 1.5x. Your party fights on its own while you do other things. Every so often you check in, equip what dropped, spend some points and send them somewhere harder.

Build your party

Pick up to 4 heroes from 10 classes. Six unlock with gold, and the Barbarian, Monk, Witch and Paladin unlock with Crystals, which you buy on Steam. Heroes you bench keep all their progress.

300 stages

Three maps with ten biomes each, and a boss at the end of every biome. Clear a map and the next one is harder. 110 different monsters in all.

Chests full of loot

Weapons, armor, jewelry, materials and gems. Gear comes in seven rarities, from Common to Eternal. And nothing is junk: everything has a use at the workbench.

A new look every 10 levels

The same chestpiece, from level 1 to 100.

At the workbench

Forge gear, brew potions, sell items, transmute, enhance up to +10, socket gems and enchant.

A passive tree with 2,224 nodes

Each hero picks their own path, up to level 100. The black holes are portals: reach one and you can jump to any other. In green, one hero's build.

20 skills per class

Each class has its own skill tree, so spend your points wisely. This is the Warrior with 40 points invested.

Skills in battle

Heroes cast on their own. You choose which skills to use.

Pets

You unlock pets by hunting specific monsters, and each one gives a permanent bonus. There are 11 to hunt and 4 more that unlock with Crystals.

Your house

Build a home for your party on an empty plot: walls, floors, furniture, a garden, even a pool. Your heroes and pets live there. Visit your Steam friends' houses and leave a stamp in their guestbook.

The Colossus

Twelve times a day, a giant Colossus tears open a rift somewhere on the map, and every player fights it at the same time. Send your party and watch the other players' balloons fly in. There are 10 Colossi, one each day, and each one fights its own way. Earn a Silver medal or higher and a Colossus Chest arrives in your mail, always with a Rare piece or better.

Circle of Talismans

Every Colossus has its own Talisman. Set the Talismans and their runes in the Circle to boost all your heroes. The one in the center only opens once all 10 around it are in place.

Friends and clans

Add friends, see who's playing, visit their houses and challenge them to a live friendly match. Join a clan from level 10 or found one at level 20: up to 200 members, your own crest and a wall for posts and milestones.

Clan Hunt

Every week your clan takes on a Beast, and two classes deal 25% more damage to it. Everyone's damage fills the clan vault, and the Hunt gives Seals to spend at the Bazaar on frames, titles and crest pieces.

PvP Arena

Set up a formation of up to four heroes and take on other players' formations, or challenge someone online to a live friendly match. Every win raises your league, from Bronze to Legend, and at the end of the month your league becomes a title, a frame and a reward in gold or Crystals. Your formation also defends while you're away.

Skins

Fifty looks for the heroes, five for each one, in the Crystal Shop. A skin only changes the look: the hero fights the same.

Player Market

Buy and sell items with other players for gold or Crystals, at a fixed price or at auction. It unlocks in the Codex once a hero reaches level 20.

Crystal Shop

Crystals are the premium currency, bought on Steam. Spend them in the shop on the four extra classes, the four extra pets, skins for your heroes and your balloon, premium stash tabs and furniture for your house. The shop changes every day.

The Codex

Upgrades for the whole account: more hero slots, more skill slots, more stash tabs, chests that open themselves, more gold and XP. One of its glyphs keeps your party earning some gold and XP with the game closed.

100 Steam Achievements

From the first monster defeated to the complete Codex.
