Lead your underground guild against endless waves of dungeon monsters in this offline merge tower-defense. Recruit mercenaries, fuse them into legendary warriors, and command a hero on the front line — every decision counts. MERGE TO POWER UP Summon mercenaries into the dungeon room and merge two identical units to climb the rarity ladder: Normal, Rare, Unique, Legendary, Mythic, Ancient. Time your fusions — merge too early and gaps open in your defense, merge too late and the horde breaks through. COMMAND A HERO Move your guild leader with a virtual joystick and unleash devastating skills — meteors, frost webs, rallying cries, raised skeletons, and healing sanctuaries. Pick the hero whose playstyle matches your strategy. DEFEND THE DUNGEON Hold the gate across escalating waves, grab the Red Room bonus, and crush the boss to advance. Battle through hundreds of Campaign stages, push your limits in endless Infinite Siege, or test your build in the Boss Dungeon. BUILD YOUR GUILD • Grow permanent stat upgrades on the Growth board • Forge and enhance Gear across six equipment slots • Unlock new heroes and mercenary classes • Trigger Steel, Arcane, and Wild class synergies for powerful bonuses Fully offline — play anywhere, with no account or login required. An optional supporter upgrade is available as an in-app purchase for players who want to back development. Gather your guild. Hold the line. Become legend.
