Escort the Nine-Dragon Coffin in a thrilling idle looter auto-battler!

Dark Ruins is a tactical RPG combining Idle Looting with Hero-Building Auto-Battles. Forget tedious micro-management and punishing restarts—your goal here is clear and pure: train the ultimate hero squad and escort the Emperor's Coffin, pulled by nine colossal bone dragons, into the deepest depths of the Dark Ruins for its final burial.

🔥 Core Experience: High-Frequency Loot, Zero Frustration

• 20 Waves of Dense Loot & Penalty-Free Nodes Face 20 waves of terrifying monsters at every map node. Every single wave drops generous loot, including gear and relics! Clear all 20 waves to advance to the next node. Even if you fall in battle, you simply restart from the current node while keeping 100% of your farmed gear and items. Every battle makes you stronger!

• Endless New Game+ & Scaling Content Burying the coffin is only the beginning! Take on multiple playthroughs (NG+) with full carryover. Higher cycles bring deadlier enemies alongside raised level caps, expanded content, and god-tier loot drops.

• Your Personal Employee: Configurable Smart Assistant Tired of repetitive inventory sorting? Customize the built-in Smart Assistant's logic to make it smarter over time. It handles hero training, gear sorting, and daily chores—reporting its progress back to you just like a dedicated employee while you sit back and reap the rewards.

⚔️ Hero Progression & Theorycrafting: Build Your Archetype

• Hero Auto-Battler with Optional Micro-Control Set up to 4 Hero Altars to form your vanguard. Heroes attack, heal, and cast spells automatically, but you can step in and take manual control at any time to turn the tide during high-pressure moments.

• Combine Gene Seeds to Breed Top-Tier Heroes Gene Seeds carry distinct growth rates and traits. Combine them to generate new heroes and filter for the best candidates; higher-quality seeds yield heroes with overwhelming stats.

• 1-of-3 Skill Specializations Pair class-specific skills with versatile extra abilities. Each skill offers three distinct upgrade branches to choose from, letting you tailor every hero's combat role.

• Massive Penalty-Free Talent Tree Invest in an expansive talent tree with zero negative drawbacks. Freely customize your reinforcement paths to match your current squad synergy.

• Random Affix Gear & Fixed-Effect Relics Gear rolls with randomized stat affixes, while Relics grant game-changing fixed abilities. Equipped independently, they let you chase god-roll stats without sacrificing your core build mechanics.
