SOULSTACK — a necromancer auto-battler of stacked souls. You were a master of death, stripped of power and cast into the Pit: an endless tower of the dead. But every foe you slay rises to serve you. Recruit them. Fuse them. Weave a legion that multiplies — and climb. ◆ A LEGION THAT COMPOUNDS Draft undead, beasts, mages, and rogues into your warband. The power isn't flat stats — it's synergy. Line up the right tribes, roles, and Authorities and your army doesn't add up, it MULTIPLIES. Find the engine, break the wall. ◆ CLIMB THE ENDLESS PIT Every run is a fresh draft. Scout the floor ahead, counter it, and climb — the dead grow without limit as you rise. Fall, and you return to Level 1… but the servants you raised carry into the next life. Rise again. ◆ COMPETE WITH FRIENDS — ON YOUR TIME Conquer the Pit and set your army to guard your star. Then raid your friends' stars across a season of standings. It's all ASYNC — no live matches, no waiting, no always-online. Take a turn whenever you like; the war continues without you. ◆ FAIR BY DESIGN Premium — buy once. No ads. No gacha. No pay-to-win: the unlock sells the full climb and the collection, never power. Competition is normalized, so skill wins, not spending. ◆ THEORYCRAFT-DEEP Deterministic combat and simulation-tuned balance reward mastery over luck. Dozens of units, items, and Authorities to combine — the deeper you read the synergies, the higher you climb. Raise the dead. Stack the souls. Climb.
