Your Dungeon, Built by You [CreateDun] Build walls, reshape paths, and hold the line with your allies. This isn’t just about “placing” towers—set up walls directly on the map and redesign enemy routes in real time! Where will the enemies flow? Which choke point will you focus your fire on? Who will act as bait? The battle is decided before the first wave even starts. Survive each fight to earn Relics and Marks that make your allies stronger. With fresh choices every run, enjoy roguelite progression as you complete your build. [Buildable Tower Defense] Change routes by placing walls and control the enemy’s flow as you like. Funnel them into narrow corridors for a wipe, or create detours to buy time—every battle depends on your strategy. [Relic Combinations] With different relic combinations each run, gain powerful traits and strengthen your allies even further. [Roguelite Progression] Use resources earned in combat to upgrade Orbs and hero allies, so next time you can venture deeper with more relics and stronger companions. [Everything Depends on Your Brain] No matter how strong your relics and allies are, if you can’t use enemy paths strategically, your expedition will end in failure.
