About the game

Build each mercenary from the ground up in a permadeath dark fantasy auto-battler where there are no classes - only combinations. Find powerful loot, mutate attacks, combine skills, choose paths, and turn what you find into the power to win.

Original Steam description

There are no classes. Only combinations.

The Demon has taken the kingdom. Command a band of mercenaries and fight to take it back.

Build each mercenary from the ground up. Choose paths, complete missions, fight bosses, and use what you find into the power to vanquish evil.

There is no "Warrior", no "Mage", no "Rogue", no classes at all.
Just the build you create and based on the loot you find and the decisions you make.

Build. Experiment. Adapt.

Each mercenary can be hand-crafted with:

  • unique character traits that alter playstyles

  • weapons and armor with magical properties and effects

  • runes that unlock powerful abilities

  • masteries that mutate skills

  • rune synergies which add bonus effects

  • blessings and curses

but there is a catch: you'll need to formulate builds and adapt your strategy based off of what you find.


A Story to Progress:

This isn't just another auto-battler, you are not endlessly watching units fight in arenas.

There is story progression, actual objectives, biomes, mazes, pathing choices, chance rooms, and more!

Death Is Permanent.

Mercenaries die.

Their gear dies with them. Keep one item, lose the rest.

Fight Your Way Forward.

Prepare your mercenaries, then watch your choices play out in battle. Fight through a kingdom consumed by the Demon, face deadly encounters, and push your units as far you can for the chance to prevail against evil.

Developed for Steam Deck and Controllers in mind.
