Players Like...

❤ Building a Tactical Party

Players must carefully select a hero and recruit a party of up to 5 unique units to descend into the dungeon. Each unit has distinct abilities, strengths, and weaknesses that players must consider when assembling their team. Thoughtful party composition and synergy is crucial, as certain combinations of units and their skills can create devastating effects.

❤ Strategically Positioning Units

During combat, players position their party members on a 3x8 grid. Unit placement affects their targeting and ability usage. Players must balance exhaustion (which prevents actions that turn) with optimal positioning to maximize their party's attacks and special skills. Tactical unit placement is a core gameplay mechanic.

❤ Automated Battles with Player Agency

While combat plays out automatically, with units attacking enemies in their lane, players retain meaningful agency. They choose which lane each unit occupies, and can manually trigger units' special abilities each turn. So while battles resolve automatically, players make important tactical decisions throughout.

❤ Discovering Powerful Synergies

A major source of depth comes from finding powerful combinations of party members, their abilities, and equippable items/artifacts. Certain item pairings unlock devastating combos, while well-built teams can create cascading effects that devastate enemies. Executing on these synergies is highly rewarding.

❤ Randomized Dungeon Layouts and Progression

Each run features a randomly generated dungeon with varying room layouts, enemy encounters, and available recruits. This ensures no two runs play out the same, giving the game excellent replayability. As players progress, they unlock new unit options, artifacts, and difficulty levels to continually refresh the experience.
