Carry your soul into the depths. Loop Dark Dungeon is an idle dungeon RPG where your adventurer explores the labyrinth automatically. Cursed by the Demon King, a hero and the fairy Pipi are trapped in a dungeon that changes shape with every descent. Defeat the Demon King waiting on Floor 100, break the cursed relic sleeping on Floor 500, and keep descending into the endless Abyss beyond. - EXPLORATION AND COMBAT ARE FULLY AUTOMATIC Your adventurer walks the labyrinth, fights monsters, and picks up potions, fire bombs, and treasure chests. You just decide how they grow. Progress made while the app is closed is waiting for you when you return. - UPGRADE, BE REBORN, GO DEEPER Spend gold to raise Attack, HP, crit, combo rate, and more. When you hit a wall, be reborn to earn Soul Shards and grow permanently stronger through the Soul Tree. - 4 JOBS, 8 EVOLUTIONS Choose Swordsman, Rogue, Mage, or Paladin. At JOB Lv.10, each JOB can evolve into one of two advanced JOBs, and you can switch between them at any time. - RELICS AND SET BONUSES Summon weapon, armor, and skill relics from the abyss. Duplicates resonate and grow stronger, and the right combinations trigger set bonuses. The Gems used for summoning are earned in-game. - A DIFFERENT LABYRINTH EVERY TIME Random floor traits and events, risky forks in the path, mini-bosses every 20 floors, a daily Cursed Labyrinth, and daily missions. - COMFORTABLE IDLE PLAY x1/x2 exploration speed (x4 with the Adventurer Pass), an Idle Mode that dims the screen to save battery, and a 30/60fps option. - COMPANIONS, BLACKSMITH, DAILY BOSS Bring companions you meet in the labyrinth.
