[Remember your companions] Discover named heroes and their bond quests, along with growth, retirement, death and reincarnation. Meet other companies inside the tower to trade or fight. The chronicle and codex keep their stories. [Choose the next challenge] Material dungeons, weekly raids, Abyss contracts and perks offer new goals. Playable offline. No account required. No ads or subscriptions. One purchase takes you to the floor 999 ending. Optional in-app items (tips, cosmetics, paid heroes) are available. None are required to progress. 한국어 · English · 日本語 · 繁體中文
