Three hundred years ago, the goddess of light repelled the dark forces and fell into a deep sleep. The power of light weakened, and the heroes scattered all over the place and fell into a seal. In order to resist the dark forces that may make a comeback at any time, people have built city fortresses everywhere. Three hundred years have passed, and the servants of darkness are about to move again. In order to protect the people, heroes are called and come from all directions. As the only king of the light empire, eliminate the dusty land of heroes, and then lift the seal to resist the invasion of dark soldiers. - Game Features - Classic Tetris gameplay Strategy tower defense Hero cultivation Unique art style Casual and puzzle elements
