Tactical combat, guild management, and dark expeditions
Master the art of guild management in a world of perpetual darkness
You don't fight. You scout, train, and manage heroes who fight in strict, automated combat simulations. Your decisions before battle determine victory or defeat.
Scout unproven youth from three distinct regions, assign veteran Mentors, and guide Adepts through multi-year development cycles. Uncover hidden potential and shape the next generation of heroes.
Watch battles unfold in a 60 tick-per-second combat engine with 2x4 grid formations. Six damage types, eight hero classes, and deep ability synergies create endless strategic possibilities.
Navigate recurring Cycles with unique global rules called Edicts that force you to constantly adapt your strategies. Each Cycle brings new challenges, rewards, and opportunities for your guild.
Heroes age from eager Adepts through their Prime years into eventual Decline and Retirement. Every hero's journey is unique, shaped by their battles, mentors, and your guidance.
From stalwart Gatekeepers to mystical Confessors, each class brings distinct abilities and roles to your formations. Master their synergies to overcome the darkness.
