About This Demo

In his later years, the Great Emperor was afflicted by an ominous curse; he grew red fur and was about to bring about the end of the world. Your mission is to deliver the Emperor's coffin to the depths of the Dark Ruins and bury it.

Nine ancient dragons pull the imperial coffin and supplies; even in decay, they must fulfill their duty.

This is a very exciting, fast-paced combat game—you won't be bored for a second. Here's what you can experience:

1. Set the distance and advance toward your goal. Enemies will become more numerous and stronger along the way. Of course, the equipment they drop will also get better and better.

2. Flexible auto-battle. You can have up to 4 hero altars. Heroes will automatically attack, heal, and cast spells. In critical moments, you can also take manual control and turn the tide.

3. Raise monsters. Any monster you've killed can be selected at the altar. You can strengthen them; they will keep resurrecting and serve as very loyal cannon fodder.

4. Rich rogue modifiers to build your favorite faction. Every time the altar levels up, you can choose rogue modifiers for it. There are tons of them and they're very interesting.

5. Incremental-style resource system. You can choose resource buildings that, just like in incremental games, continuously produce for you: materials, equipment, gene seeds, potions, food, etc.—more than you can ever use up, letting you feel the joy of being a tycoon.

6. Build heroes using gene seeds. Each gene seed has growth values and traits. Use gene seeds to build heroes—the better the gene seed, the more likely you are to get a better hero.

7. Free skill system. Class skills + any additional skills. Each skill can choose one of three enhancement directions, making combat fit your preferred style.

8. Interesting and innovative equipment system. Equipment with random affixes + relics with fixed abilities. Experience the joy of loot farming. And you'll no longer have to sacrifice equipment stats for unique effects like in traditional loot games.

9. Tons of out-of-run tech. Each run, you earn Eternal Crystals that can unlock tech to make you stronger. Even if you're unlucky and can't beat the game, tech points can give you a "wheelchair" to cruise all the way to victory.
