About This Game

UNIQUE HEROES

Heroes with different elements, classes, races, abilities, and stories! Will you play with a human warrior who controls fire, or with an elf hunter who creates ice clones? And many more like this!

RPG ELEMENTS

Choose your evolution stats, purchase and upgrade items, combine skills and play according to your style-whether dealing massive damage or becoming immortal. Alternatively, focus on boosting your movement speed and sprinting wildly around; that's an option too.

CHALLENGE THE MECHANICS

You're in charge of all of the hero's movement and skills! Take aim and land your skills, dodge the arrows, defeat bosses and try to survive for 30 turns. Remember, avoid getting cornered, and dash is your best friend.

GoE takes that concept and says, look we know it's fun, but how about a little more challenge? And to that I say yes. And challenging it is. All those skills, you have to cast them yourself. There's no autoplay nor handholding. Running around the map you have to keep an eye on your cooldowns as each second a skill is unused is wasted. It is up to you to create a valid build on the fly too, as the merchant has a t...
