About This Game

Defend Hulao Pass — You’re the commander!

Lead troops, form formations, and unleash skills to withstand fierce enemy assaults. Each run lasts about 30 minutes, with skill choices presented three-at-a-time — pure, fast-paced fun.

Charge into battle on horseback, fight through chaotic hundred-man melees, and enjoy screen-filling horde-slaying action.
Deploy your forces: infantry holds the front line while archers rain arrows from behind.
Two kinds of thrill, delivered in a single match.

Choose your skills each run: poison builds, lightning builds, or something entirely different — every playthrough offers new possibilities.

Unlike traditional roguelites, you’re not fighting alone.

Purchase buildings, recruit and upgrade soldiers,
upgrade the farm and market to snowball your economy,
and buy equipment to strengthen your hero.

Each general features unique attack patterns, active skills, and passive abilities.
Complete co-op runs or meet specific conditions to unlock more generals and build your dream army.

Action Roguelite × RTS Strategy × Auto Chess × Mounted Hack-and-Slash × Tower Defense
Easy to pick up, with surprising depth.

This title is currently developed by a solo creator. Visuals, sound, and UI are still being improved, while content volume and balance continue to be refined.
The roguelite + RTS hybrid may take a little time to get used to, but we’re confident you’ll find the fun.
Feedback via the in-game questionnaire is welcome. Regular updates and small patches will follow.
