■Dungeon exploration with a 3-person party! You will be able to challenge dungeons with a 3-player party. Feel free to team up with other players or with your friends. Work together with your party members to get the treasure, and aim to get back alive at the escape portal in the dungeon! ■Fight monsters and search for treasures! In the dungeon, there are various treasure chests as well as monsters roaming around guarding the treasures. Defeat monsters to gain experience and raise your level. Special monsters also appear as time passes! You can gain a large amount of experience and keys to open special doors and treasure chests. ■You may encounter other parties in the dungeon At the start of the search, five parties, including your own, are scattered throughout the dungeon. Therefore, as the search progresses, you may encounter other parties. If you defeat a player from another party, you can obtain the treasure that the other party has obtained. However, other parties are as powerful as your party. You will be faced with a choice: fight or flee. ■Be aware of time limits and shrinking circles that reduce the scope of action! There is a time limit for dungeon exploration. In addition, the circular safety zone shrinks at regular intervals. If you go out of the circle, you will be severely damaged, so you must always stay within the safe zone. If you are greedy, you may fail in your search because you cannot reach the time limit or the shrinking circle in time, so be careful not to make a mistake in timing your exit to the escape portal! ■ Strengthen your equipment with treasures obtained from exploration Treasures obtained in the dungeon will be appraised upon your return and turned into equipment, materials, and money. Equipment can be brought into the dungeon, so strengthen your equipment for the next exploration!

Features
Read full description

MELS is a turn-based tactical RPG set in a zombie apocalypse. Lead a squad of three fighters, expand your base, send teams on expeditions and work with players across the server to develop a vaccine before the mutation spreads. Turn-based combat without autoplay Battles take place on a grid where position, distance and action order decide the outcome. Move each fighter yourself, choose the right target and adapt to enemies with different behavior. There is no auto button and no single pattern that wins every map. Track down wanted targets and claim their rewards. Build and upgrade your base Develop eight buildings, including headquarters, an armory, training camp, research center and biolab. Base upgrades unlock better shop stock, faster expeditions and new research. Operation Vaccine All players contribute to the same global goal: developing a vaccine against the infection. Send scientists to analyze zombie remains, support pathogen research and track your contribution on the leaderboard. The mutation keeps advancing — can the whole server stay ahead of it? Create your squad Alpha, Beta and Kappa each have their own health, armor, damage, critical chance, speed and range. Equip helmets, vests, backpacks, firearms and melee weapons. Choose between close-range attacks, heavy firepower and long-range precision. Skills, gear and customization Develop combat abilities such as field medkits, mines, rockets, fire and frost. Improve passive attributes including damage, armor and critical chance. Collect equipment across eight rarity grades, from common to gold, and unlock dozens of appearance sets. Expeditions and loot Send search teams into green, gray and red zones. Longer and more dangerous expeditions offer better chances of valuable equipment. Visit the market for refreshed gear and take part in special raider operations for rare rewards. Game modes • Campaign with 70+ levels and three difficulty settings • Endless Waves with escalating enemies and seasonal records • Battle for Glory seasonal leaderboard • Wanted targets with special rewards • Daily missions, achievements, seasons and the War Pass
