Survive, Collect, Craft, Trade with Players, and Perfect your Dream Build. Delve into dream worlds to face your past Visions from lingering nightmares stuck to the back of your brain. Collect over 350 Visions and possess them as your own friends to help you become more powerful as you jump from the Lucid World to the Dream World. Earn experience, loot, materials, and other unlocks that will stay with you permanently in the Lucid World. In your Dreams, gain new and powerful boons to temporarily help you erase any Visions in your way. In the Lucid World, craft new items and materials for use in your Dreams, or trade them with other players worldwide in the Bazaar. Create custom loadouts to tackle the variety of challenges that can be encountered in three activity modes with a range of difficulties. In Horde Runs, survive waves of Visions as they close in on your position. In Extraction Lairs, you will explore randomly generated dungeons filled with a healthy amount of plunder. To escape with all you've collected, you will need to find the exit and defeat the Final Vision. In Invasion Zones, a never-ending supply of Visions will rain down upon you relentlessly as you try to catch falling loot and duck danger. The Visions you encounter can be turned into your own personal pets called Casters, fighting besides you with their own stats, perks, and utility. If you cannot get the perfect god roll, craft your own with materials or browse the Bazaar for other players' listings. hellamental is free-to-play, has no ads, no Wi-Fi required, and no restrictions on the the amount of time you can play.
El Bárbaro
Read full descriptionHide full description
Roll a barbarian at random and send him into the arena. With luck, he's born with a dog. With a lot of luck, with a bear. Fights are automatic: your barbarian fights other players' barbarians on his own, a few times a day. You watch, you cheer, you make him grow. • ONE ROLL, ONE BARBARIAN. Stats, weapons and colors are random. What you get is what you get — if you don't like it, roll again. • PETS THAT SHOW UP ON THEIR OWN. Nobody picks them. Dog, cat, caiman, hog, wolf, panda and bear: they appear once in a while, at the end of a fight. The bear: 1 in 1,000 barbarians. • 20-SECOND FIGHTS. Six a day (twelve on your first day). Every level is a fresh roll of points, weapons and skills. • BUILD YOUR SCHOOL. Invite friends with your code: when they level up, your barbarian gains experience. • LEAGUES AND LAURELS. Every month, every arena hands out gold, silver and bronze laurels. Your barbarian is forever: the season resets cups, never your barbarian. • THEY ATTACK WHILE YOU'RE AWAY. When you come back you see who came, who won and how many cups moved. No sign-up, no ads. The game's odds are public: https://elbarbaro.app/probabilidades Barbarian Pro (optional) doubles your daily fights and experience and lets four barbarians fight instead of two. It never gives more luck or more strength. EL BÁRBARO PRO SUBSCRIPTION Barbarian Pro is an auto-renewable subscription, monthly or yearly.
