Re:END is a laid-back, top-down solo-mode RPG, that feels like those great MMOs from the good old days, RE:END features simple smartphone controls and an in-depth system with leveling, reincarnation, pets, equipment upgrades, an arena, ingredients, and more! Experience an RPG with all the elements that made MMORPGs from the good old days (late 2000s) so great, right from your smartphone. ▼Leveling and Reincarnation What would an MMO be without leveling! Nothing beats the feeling of overcoming adversity, discovering new and better ways to farm exp, and growing stronger with each level. Assign stat points each time you level up, respec and reincarnate. Grow stronger, and build your character your way. ▼Collecting Ingredients and Upgrading Weapons Collect ingredients to improve your equipment by defeating powerful monsters and fishing. Fight stronger monsters, face new challenges and prepare for the next power spike! ▼Pets All enemies can join you, even bosses (some arena monsters are off limits)! There can be as little as a 0.3% chance that some enemies will join you when defeated. The odds may be slim, but that feeling of payoff when it happens is incredible!

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 !
