The Mist Ring is closing in, and the edge of the world is disappearing. Board the low-altitude airship Dawnbringer, recruit legendary heroes from the Wasteland, Oasis, ancient Ruins, and the remnants of the Old Civilization, and assemble your own expedition team as you journey toward the center of the world across ever-changing seasonal maps. Dawnbound Heroes is a post-apocalyptic fantasy idle RPG. Lead your heroes through battles, gather resources, strengthen your roster, overcome powerful enemies, and guide the Dawnbringer along its migration route. With every stage cleared, your airship moves one step closer to the center. The closer you get, the greater your idle rewards become—and the more of the season's ultimate challenge will be revealed. I.Gather Heroes, Build the Ultimate Expedition Heroes from multiple factions answer the call. Firearms, melee weapons, and advanced technology collide on the battlefield. Recruit powerful SSR heroes, develop your core lineup, and combine strategic formations with faction synergies to create the ultimate expedition force. II.Auto Battles, Effortless Growth Enjoy accessible turn-based auto combat designed for easy progression. Build your team, upgrade your heroes, and activate faction bonuses to keep earning valuable resources even while offline. III.Your Airship Base, Your Mobile Stronghold Your headquarters is no ordinary castle—it's a low-altitude airship traveling through the Mist Ring. Upgrade specialized cabins, collect idle rewards, dispatch heroes on expeditions, and transform the Dawnbringer into humanity's last beacon of hope. IV.The Mist Ring Closes, The Expedition Moves On The seasonal world map evolves every day as the Mist Ring steadily contracts. To survive, the Dawnbringer must continue advancing toward the center along beacon routes. Clear campaign stages, break through key milestones, increase your rewards, and discover the path leading to the legendary Skyspire. V.Weekly Random Events, Endless Surprises and Rewards As the Mist Ring closes in, unexpected encounters may emerge across the map. Face monster hordes, meet wandering mist merchants, explore ancient ruins, uncover supply caches, and complete special events to earn expedition rewards and rare resources. Every week brings new surprises, new challenges, and new rewards. VI.Climb Skyspire, Conquer the Season Endgame At the center of the world stands Skyspire, a mysterious tower that is slowly awakening. As the Dawnbringer draws ever closer, endgame challenges gradually unlock. Take on greater difficulties, earn higher scores, and claim glorious rewards reserved for the finest explorers. The Mist is Closing. The Airship is Rising. Recruit. Survive. Push to the Center.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dawnbound Heroes holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scroll Echoes has 18 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Scroll Echoes's written reviews are positive against 31% of Dawnbound Heroes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Scroll Echoes ships an update fortnightly, Dawnbound Heroes weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
