This game is from the idle / incremental / idle rpg genre based on inactive play and stat optimisation ! Enjoy hand free progress ;) As world got invaded by beasts, a few beast hunters awakened to protect what remains... - Level up your statistics with drops from enemies ! - Level up abilities with their souls ! - Obtain randomly generated gears in Challenge mode ! - Wander the cave to discover secret relics and boost your stats ! - Optimise your equipped gear by comparing different tiers // sub stats, - Collect different companions with special skills to assist you in your fight ! - Compete for the first spot in the stage ranking ! - Unlimited progression through gear scaling and sidekick collection (and more in future updates !) The only IAPs are a few skins and a no ad pack, no p2w in my games ! Have fun and join the discord to take part in further development of the game !
