About This Game

Leave the Fighting to Your Heroes

Your heroes automatically fight monsters, earn experience, collect gold, and advance toward the next boss while you work, study, or watch videos.

Step In When It Matters

Cast your Warlord's spells, swap heroes, and change equipment to defeat bosses and claim rare loot.

Ascend and Return Stronger

Has your party been stopped by the enemy? Ascend, start a new cycle with permanent upgrades, and make it further than before.

Build Your Army

Choose heroes with different abilities, experiment with your party composition, and create your own builds. Equipment makes your Warlord stronger and changes their appearance, while mounts unlock new ways to progress.
