Descend sixty floors into a dungeon that burns like an ember. Combat is yours to steer: aim, dodge, dash, and swap heroes at the right moment. TAG-SWAP: ONE BUTTON, SEVEN HEROES Knight, archer, mage, rogue and priest fight side by side, joined by two exclusive champions. One tap takes control; the swap grants a moment of invulnerability and pulls every enemy onto your new leader. Each hero carries their own health pool, so one falling does not end the run. DEEP LOOT, NOT A DEEP MENU 150 item families across five tiers, with affixes, sockets and gems. Same-tier pieces fuse regardless of slot. Upgrade, melt and socket at the forge. The screen tells you whether a drop beats what you wear, so you never do the math yourself. A DIFFERENT DUNGEON EVERY RUN Hand-built room templates arranged procedurally: familiar, never memorized. Ten biomes, each with its own enemies and hazards. Twenty bosses and twenty mini-bosses, each with a telegraph and a weakness. PROGRESS THAT STAYS Gold you bank survives death. Buy permanent ranks on the upgrade tree, unlock new heroes, and continue from your deepest checkpoint. Die and you resume one floor back, not from the start. AN HONEST GAME No gacha. No energy timers. No pay-to-win. Buying moves you faster, nothing more. Watching an ad is always your choice. Playable in English, Turkish, German, Spanish and Portuguese.
