Monsters are gathering outside the gate. Do you spend your last gold on a camp upgrade, better gear for your frontline, or repairs to keep the gate standing? In this pixel-art roguelite defense game, your soldiers march out and fight automatically. You choose their classes, equip your camps, and build an army that can survive the next night.
Develop your forces across 6 class families and 28 final classes. Put tanks on the frontline, tear through enemy groups with volleys and spells, and keep your army fighting with healing, shields, and auras. When the line starts to buckle, will you invest in staying power or more firepower? Try shield-heavy defenses, frost control, lifesteal melee, or damage-over-time builds, and adapt as your run unfolds.
Each of the 42 promoted-class skills has 6 equipment enhancements: 252 enhancement options to discover. Add follow-up attacks, widen an effect's reach, or turn crowd control into protection. Mix in 30 class-independent accessory effects, class passives, and relics to shape your army's damage and sustain. Equip each camp with a weapon, helmet, armor, and accessory. Find effects that suit its current skills, then use reforging scrolls to refine your setup. Legendary gear can even roll two different effects.
Take on three chapters, each with its own 28-night expedition. Even after a defeat, you keep your Sacred Stones and permanent unlocks. Invest in talents and return with more options for your next run. Clear Chapter 3 to unlock Hard Mode: stronger enemies with extra skills, plus camp and equipment levels up to 30.
