The people for the deepest place in the abyss "DEEPLE”. It is a team-based Rogue-like action game that leads them to the deepest layer. Currency called DEP, items with various effects, DEEPLE's skills learned, DEEPLE's various talents and ability You can use all of them to aim for the deepest layer. It is important to immediately judge monsters randomly placed and caves that change shape. You can operate all with one hand easily, but the rappelling action fighting monsters while going down a cave with a rope is special and requires familiarity. You should feel strange exhilaration when you get used to it. Yes, let's move to the deepest layer. Please make a skill deck according to the situation before you go to the cave. Using the five skills, including the skills of the armor you purchased, you may be able to reach the next layer’s base. There are several routes in the cave, which change shape each time this route enters, On the way there are merchants who dive ahead, treasure chests filled with strange powers, more dangerous holes and so on. Since most of them are visible, please judge the route that fits the situation. Deep exhausted in the middle of the cave, DEEPLE who was missing headed for rescue with another DEEPLE. Please carefully head for rescue in order not to lose experienced DEEPLE. There are no billing elements, but there are elements of luck when hiring DEEPLE. The employed DEEPLE is a person with unique talent, has knowledge of medicine, is sickly and etc. If you aim for the legendary DEEPLE it is necessary to pay a reasonable DEP。 DEEPLEs visited by introduction of scout man are relatively competent and information such as talent is also presented, but salary to pay is quite expensive. . . . Please try out what kind of movements the enemy will meet in the cave for the first time and what kind of attack will pass. While there is little information, DEEPLE will be swallowed in the abyss. Because you acquire a crystal as much as you can play and unlock new items and skills. You will update the depth you we could not reach. When you reach the new level, the base will be very lively. Item shop, skill lesson, Blacksmith, plus other facilities will be added. As items lined up in the facility are updated every time it clear the cave, please check if there is anything useful. There is easy caves for casual gamers, but DEEPLE does not grow up quite well there. It may be inadequate to develop DEEPLE aiming for the deepest place in the world. That's right. There is a vertical hole cave without a bottom. The record there is competing around the world. However, once you jump into that hole, you will never be able to return to the base again. Would you make a decision enough to worry about whether to direct experienced DEEPLE or direct DEEPLE you just hired. Finally, I discovered this large well cave, but I have not been able to reach the deepest part of the most difficult cave of myself. I have just lost a talented DEEPLE that I grew carefully almost bottom. Perhaps you are clearing the cave for the first time in the world. + Online Rankings + Achievements + Random Dungeons + A wide variety of unlockable items, skills + Character breeding element with luck with selection + Building a unique skill deck + No billing elements
