Four heroes climb four different dungeons at the same time. A split-screen idle RPG where the expedition never stops, even with the app closed. ■ Made for you if · You want an idle RPG that grows while you are away · One-character auto battlers have started to feel thin · You love pixel art and medieval fantasy dungeons ■ Features ▸ Four dungeons, one screen Knight, Rogue, Mage and Priest each fight in their own dungeon. Everything grows four times over. ▸ Buffs that lift each other The deeper one hero goes, the more defense, gold, EXP and regen the other three receive. Raising all four evenly is the fastest route down. ▸ Auto battle with a real gate You must beat the monster before the timer runs out. Running out of time is not a clear. ▸ Grow the town Upgrade weapon, armor, trinket and helm at the smithy, furnish the home to raise recovery, and build the plaza to multiply the whole town's attack. ▸ Offline rewards Close the app and come back — up to 12 hours are settled under exactly the same rules as live play. ▸ A boss every 10 floors Each boss you beat becomes the elevator for your next run. You never start from floor 1 again. ▸ Joint raid Once all four heroes clear their floor 10 boss, a three-phase raid opens once a week. ▸ Parallel worlds Reach floor 50 with every hero and shift worlds for a permanent attack bonus. Primal, Ember, Verdant and Void each change the enemies and the palette. ■ Ads kept to a minimum No forced interstitials, no banners in your way.
