About this game
Every dice roll could change your fate — Random events and rune chain combinations in the dark fairy tale world challenge your strategic limits.
Game Background
[Mirror Realm] known to the world as the Fairy Tale World, has been infested by evil thoughts due to the weakening of the evil god's seal. The spirits of fairy tale characters have been corrupted, gradually turning dark and malevolent. The evil god seeks to erode the real world through the Mirror Realm. Summoned as the protagonist, you arrive in the [Mirror Realm] wielding a weapon formed from your ancestral crystal, tasked with defeating the evil god and resealing it.
Monopoly-Style Board Gameplay
Each tile features a different event — not just monsters, but also various gameplay opportunities. You might earn a lot of gold or gain other rewards. Every dice roll is full of challenge and excitement.
Collect Runes, Create Combos
Unique runes found during your adventure enhance each attack with different effects. Freely combine runes to trigger chain reactions and unleash devastating combo skills.
Multiple Weapons, Refined Attributes
Wield a variety of uniquely mechanized weapons that synergize with talents to create diverse combat styles. Each weapon comes with exclusive traits, and as the game progresses, you can refine them to forge your ultimate personal weapon. These elements are key to building your unique character and defeating powerful foes.
Varied Gameplay, Endless Fun
With many unique tiles offering challenges, adventures, rewards, and decisions, every roll of the dice brings excitement. You might land on a tile full of treasure—or face a risky choice. Will you take the chance?
The strategic combination of the three core systems—"Runes," "Weapons," and "Talents"—creates a delicate balance between attack-defense rhythm, damage output focus, and survivability. Runes form the foundation for skill synergies, Weapons dictate combat style, and Talents enhance unique traits. Through the interplay of these three, you can craft an unparalleled character, unlocking their potential in high-stakes battles and turning every growth investment into a decisive force to overcome challenges.
