Pick Your Abilities

As one delves further into the labyrinth, hope diminishes in each new room, casting uncertainty over the journey ahead. Throughout the game, players gather abilities to fight enemies in tactical battles. Test your luck by opening chests to discover what abilities await. There are over 50 different types of abilities. Abilities of the same type can be combined to create more powerful ones.

Strategy

Since the Action Bar has limited space, it can be replenished using energy gained by damaging enemies. New abilities are then randomly selected from your collected ability pool. This adds an extra layer of strategy to battles, forcing players to make critical decisions about when and how to use their limited energy to roll and use abilities. Moreover, the player acquires boons and other items that, when combined with chosen abilities, may grant an arsenal of interesting and unexpected strategies.

Manage

The game progresses through various dungeon levels, each presenting more challenging final fights with powerful guardians that protect the entrance to the next level. However, different levels and different enemies might require a slightly different approach than you initially thought. Remember, every single move counts; therefore, preserve and manage your vital resources: health, energy, and essence.

Think Twice

Strategic planning is crucial, as players must collect only what is necessary, considering the limited available space and resources. Think twice before acting or making a move. Face a plethora of enemies; but never forget that obstacles ahead will require more than straightforward solutions and will demand thoughtful, strategic approaches to navigate and solve effectively.

Good Luck!
