About

Tribulation Runner

Features
Read full description

Walk the long, bitter road of cultivation. Tribulation Runner is an endless runner set on the cultivator's path — run, leap, slide, and cut through an ever-harder road as you gather Qi and ascend realm by realm. The way you play CHANGES as you grow: a mortal can only endure and dodge, but ascend and you'll awaken Qi Leap (double jump), sword-qi, Cloud Tread (glide), Sword-flight, and at last face the Heavenly Tribulation. • Cultivation that lasts — your realm is saved across sessions; reaching Ascension is a journey of weeks, not minutes. • An evolving game — new arts and new threats unlock as you climb from Qi Condensation to Ascension. • Heavenly Tribulation — endure a lightning gauntlet to break through to the next realm. • Build your Dao Heart combo and refine permanent cultivation upgrades. • Daily Qi rewards, cultivation trials, and a journal of milestones. • One-handed swipe controls. The road is long. Will you endure it?
