Pass the World Gate to Japan, Greece, the Military Yard and Heaven. Keep going through the Maze, the Graveyard, Korea, London, the Museum and Mexico, all the way into The Dark. That's 180+ maps across 20+ regions, each with its own monsters, loot and secrets. 1,000+ ITEMS TO HUNT Weapons, armor, helmets, boots and accessories, each with real trade-offs. Collect duplicates for permanent bonuses that carry into every run. 50+ BOSSES Every boss is a real wall until you're ready for it. Elite and Ultra bosses drop even better loot. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Normal Mode: the full journey • Hard Mode: tougher monsters, better gear • Death Mode: a brutal separate mode with its own skill tree 25+ HEROES Unlock heroes with their own stat strengths and playstyles, and level up your mastery with each one.
