The Convergence is a dark fantasy squad auto-battler where heroes from different eras are pulled into the same Arena as time begins to collapse. Recruit units from across the timeline, build a five-unit squad, and equip skills that shape how your team targets, moves, survives, and fights. Between enemy waves, adapt your strategy by recruiting new units, upgrading your build, and preparing for the next threat. In battle, your decisions play out in real time as enemy factions from different ages and worlds test your squad in different ways. A CAMPAIGN, THEN A LADDER THAT NEVER ENDS • Campaign: Fight through four distinct era-chapters and a final Convergence chapter as the Arena shifts from one world to another. Each chapter introduces its own enemies, battlefield identity, and boss encounter, building toward a final clash where every era collides at once. • Infinite Run: unlocked by the Campaign. Push your squad as far as it can go in an infinite run built around escalating waves, unlocks, and long-term progression. Experiment with new team combinations, survive deeper into the run, and strengthen future attempts through an expanding talent system. DEEP SQUAD COMP Mix eras freely. Every hero brings a signature ability, and the chip system means two players running the same five heroes can build completely different squads. ONE-OFF, NO STRINGS One purchase. No ads, no in-app purchases, no energy timers. Buy it, own it.
