Use your talents to win!" ======================= This game is a combination of shop running, strategy, RPG and idle game. The player plays as the boss of a weapon shop, does research on weapons, recruits employees, arranges mining and forging, and sells weapons to heroes to help them fight against groups of monsters. Different from traditional RPG, player can not directly control the wars on the battlefield, the result of wars depends on whether the player sells the correct weapons to the proper heroes. The new concept of mutual destruct makes every weapon irreplaceable. Legendary heroes with top weapons conquer all, but green hand with basic weapon can also create a miracle, gives the player great sense of accomplishment.
