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!

There's no button to buy power. There never will be. Everything you're carrying, you earned — and everyone can tell. A real MMORPG you can play while the show is on: combat resolves on its own, nothing is timed, and it waits for you when you put it down. You start with a stick. Months later you're selling rare gear on a player-driven market where every price was set by a person, not a shop — and caring far more than you expected to. No ads. No pay-to-win. An optional subscription adds convenience, never power. Built and updated by one developer, with a small community that's kind to new players.
