About

Divine Slayer

Features
Read full description

Divine Slayer is an auto-battler with a twist: Zero advances and strikes on his own, and your only control is two scrolling combat panels. Tap to freeze the symbols on the offense and support panels. Match three of a kind and you'll bank a charge — Spinning Slash, Blade Wave, Execution Cross, a timely Heal, or an Aegis Ward — into a shared six-slot reserve. Tap any charge whenever you need it: hold several for a tough pack, or spend the moment you win one. Build up enough power and unleash your Ultimate to clear the screen. Survive as long as you can in endless mode — the deeper you go, the faster the panels scroll, the stronger the goblins get, and enemies will start closing in from both sides. No shops, no currency, no builds to manage — just quick, tense runs built entirely around timing, with permanent power for those who put in the runs to earn it. No purchases are required to play, and nothing in a run can be bought with real money. A brief ad may appear only after defeat, when you choose to retry — never during combat, and never in a way that affects your score.
