About

SoulStack

Read full description

SOULSTACK โ€” 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 โ€” and climb. โ—† A LEGION THAT COMPOUNDS Draft undead, beasts, mages, and rogues into your warband. The power isn't flat stats โ€” 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. โ—† CLIMB THE ENDLESS PIT Every run is a fresh draft. Scout the floor ahead, counter it, and climb โ€” the dead grow without limit as you rise. Fall, and you return to Level 1โ€ฆ but the servants you raised carry into the next life. Rise again. โ—† COMPETE WITH FRIENDS โ€” 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 โ€” no live matches, no waiting, no always-online. Take a turn whenever you like; the war continues without you. โ—† FAIR BY DESIGN Premium โ€” 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. โ—† THEORYCRAFT-DEEP Deterministic combat and simulation-tuned balance reward mastery over luck. Dozens of units, items, and Authorities to combine โ€” the deeper you read the synergies, the higher you climb. Raise the dead. Stack the souls. Climb.
