Near the town of Dead Hawg, past the Grimwood, at the very PEAK of Mount Awful, there stands a crumbling tower of mortar and stone. Deep within this foul edifice, the blackest necromancer of modern times, Solomon Dark, sits on his horrible throne. As a near graduate of the Wizarding College, your final exam is to storm Solomon's Keep. Dispatch the dark wizard, loot his evil possessions, unbind his horrific minions, and prove to your teachers once and for all that you're not as stupid as you look. ---- In Solomon's Keep, you move your wizard with one thumb, and fire magic spells with the other. As you destroy enemies, you earn experience points. Gain enough experience, and you'll gain a level, and can select new skills to help you ascend the tower. Along the way you'll find gold and magic items. Your helpful teachers are there to explain the ins and outs of wizarding, sell you a few useful items, and even give you a few tips to improve your skills. Along the way you'll encounter Solomon's skeletons, zombies, imps, and more. You might even encounter an undead king, and Solomon's meticulously reconstructed maggot vomiting skeletal dragon. You'll have a chance to master 21 skills and wield over 50 magic, rare, and epic weapons. With random dungeons and monsters, Solomon's Keep offers infinite replayability.

Many adventurers, driven by the promise of immense rewards, converge here to take on the dangers of the dungeons. [Diverse Classes and Skills] Adventurers can choose from a wide range of classes, from basic ones like fighters, thieves, priests, and mages, to advanced classes like paladins, samurais, ninjas, and sages. Each class comes with unique skills that influence party composition, strategy, and dungeon conquests. By changing classes, adventurers can combine different skills, creating unique characters. [Town Facilities] The town offers many facilities useful for adventures, such as item trading at shops, spell learning at the magic guild, and secret tool transactions at the thief guild. Quests can be undertaken at the adventurer's guild, and various clues for dungeon exploration can be found at the tavern. The grand mansion of Sylvan, the noble who sparked the adventurers' interest in the town, is also located here. [Puzzles and Quests] Numerous mysteries and mechanisms are found inside the dungeons. The use and location of key items are revealed through tavern rumors and dungeon discoveries, sometimes unlocking new paths after defeating powerful bosses. [Collection Element] Items found in the dungeons can be appraised, either by the adventurers' abilities or the town's appraiser, and registered in an item encyclopedia. This allows players to enjoy the collection aspect while progressing through the dungeon conquest. [Story] Sylvan, a major noble of the Astaros Kingdom, was one of its most influential figures. He was always in pursuit of gems and valuables. Among them, the most prized was the magical Holy Grail, rumored to be in the dungeon of the frontier town of Aetheria. Sylvan recruited adventurers to challenge the dungeon and obtain the Grail. Huge rewards were promised to those who could bring back the Holy Grail. Hearing these rumors, adventurers from all over gathered in Aetheria. However, none fully understood the danger of the dungeons. The reckless adventurers began exploring the dungeons in search of riches and fame.
