You are not the hero

You are the Guild Master.

Scout, train, and sacrifice heroes in a brutal dark fantasy world where no one lives forever

Deploy your party on a tactical grid

Watch the combat unfold

Adapt or fall.

BUILD YOUR ACADEMY

Scout unproven youth from the Slums, Iron Peaks, or High Gardens

Assign mentors, manage training, and watch your adepts grow into legendary warriors--or break under the pressure.

COMMAND THE BATTLEFIELD

Deploy your 5-hero party on a tactical 2x4 grid

Position tanks on the frontline, protect your healers in the back, and watch the tick-based combat unfold

Every formation choice matters.

MASTER 8 UNIQUE CLASSES

Each class brings distinct abilities and aging curves

Physical heroes peak early but decline; mages remain powerful into their twilight years.

CRAFT YOUR ARSENAL

Discover equipment with powerful effect affixes--Lifesteal, Phoenix Grace, Formation Master

Use Runes of Flux, Power, and Polish to forge the perfect loadout

But beware: all gear degrades, and fallen heroes take their equipment to the grave.

NAVIGATE THE FACTIONS

Curry favor with The Iron Decree for military might, The Sanguine Conclave for forbidden magic, or The Night-Silver Pact for gold and secrets

Each alliance unlocks unique benefits--and burns bridges with others.

SURVIVE THE CYCLE

Edicts reshape the rules of combat

Adapt your strategy or watch your guild crumble

Defeat the Final Boss to Ascend, unlock higher World Tiers, and prove your guild's dominance.

FEATURES

- Deep hero lifecycle: recruitment, training, prime years, decline, retirement

- Emergent narratives through traits, trauma, and mentorship

- Deterministic combat you can analyze and optimize

- Dark fantasy aesthetic inspired by classic dungeon crawlers

The Cycle awaits

Will your guild endure?
