BUILD. RAID. LOOT. DEFEND. Build a deadly dungeon, raid fortresses created by other players, and turn stolen loot into your ultimate ARPG build. Tormentis combines fast action combat with strategic dungeon building. You are both the attacker and the dungeon master: overcome the defenses of rival players, then create your own challenge with rooms, monsters, and traps. ▶ YOUR HERO Equip your hero with powerful weapons and armor. Your weapon determines the skills you can use, while every new item gives you another chance to improve your build. Enter player-created dungeons, defeat their defenses, and escape with valuable loot. ▶ YOUR DUNGEON Connect rooms to create your own layout. Place monsters and traps, block easy routes, and turn every corner into a calculated ambush. Before your dungeon can defend your treasure, you must prove that you can complete it yourself. Watch how other players attack your creation, improve weak points, and build a defense they will remember. ▶ ASYNCHRONOUS PVP Raid other players' dungeons, steal gold, earn trophies, and climb through the leagues. Every opponent presents a new combination of rooms, enemies, traps, and tactical choices. ▶ LOOT AND TRADING Hunt for epic and legendary equipment. Keep the items that strengthen your hero and trade the rest with other players through the auction house or direct barter. ▶ CREATE ADVENTURES Use your creativity to build adventure dungeons for the community. Challenge friends, share ideas, and help each other improve your defenses.
