A gacha-free hack and slash RPG. 13 towers, hundreds of gear pieces, and ever-growing difficulty. A hands-on action RPG you control directly. Fully playable offline, anywhere, even on a plane. [Conquer the Towers] Mysterious towers filled with monsters have appeared across the world. As a swordsman, climb each tower floor by floor: battle monsters, defeat powerful gatekeepers, and face the tower bosses that rule each one. Along the way, discover Secret Rooms with hidden bonus rewards and Slime Dungeons packed with slimes that grant massive experience. [Endless Challenge] Clearing all 13 towers is just the beginning. New difficulty tiers unlock, each bringing the same dungeons with far stronger monsters, new special dungeons, and upgraded rewards. Push through ever-rising challenges and face fearsome bosses: the Death God, the Demon Lord, the Demon Dragon, and more threats yet to come. [Deep Equipment System] Equip up to 3 weapons at once, each carrying its own unique magic. Unleash up to 3 powerful spells in combat. Find gear from Common to Legendary, with Unique and Legendary items holding distinctive skills. Rare gear and above rolls bonus stats from a wide pool: ATK, DEF, HP, attack speed, magic damage, elemental damage, magic level, movement speed, damage reduction, gold gain, EXP gain, and more. On top of that, gear can roll rare Traits: special abilities like freeze immunity, damage reduction, or magic level boost. Use Enhancement Stones to power up your equipment, and special gems to add or change options. Craft the perfect build for your playstyle. [Fair Drop System - No Gacha] High-grade gear drop rates are cumulative. If you clear a floor without getting a drop, the rate increases for next time. Keep fighting and you are guaranteed to get it. Check exact rates anytime in the Tower Info at the portal. No gacha. No loot boxes. Your effort always pays off. [Pets, Costumes, and Artifacts] Collect costumes and pets to power up your swordsman. Costumes grant bonus stats just by owning them. Earn them through gameplay, events, or the shop. Pets provide unique bonuses and can be obtained through the shop or special events. Unlock Artifacts as you progress through higher difficulties and strengthen them to push even further. [Level Up Your Way] Earn points as your swordsman levels up and invest them in passive spells. Combine your weapon loadout, stat options, traits, artifacts, costumes, and pets to create a build that is uniquely yours. [Play Anywhere] - Fully offline: no internet required, play anytime, anywhere - Cloud save supported: sync your progress across devices - No gacha, no loot boxes: fair progression - Hands-on hack and slash combat, not an idle game - Regularly updated with new content, difficulties, and bosses Discord: https://discord.gg/4gTAZS9nTK Contact: jaemsgames@gmail.com
