Mow down the horde.
Then face the boss.
Five minutes of goblin-slaying power fantasy, then a duel you fight by hand, on a stamina bar, against a boss with a rhythm all its own.


Two fights in every run
The first five minutes are about the build you assemble. The last fight is about whether you can read a boss.

The horde
One thumb moves the hero. Weapons fire on their own. Collect XP, pick upgrade cards, find chests, and watch a build snowball until the screen is a storm of steel.

The boss
The camera drops behind your hero and locks on. The automatic weapons fall silent. Now it is stamina, timing and your own hands against a boss with its own tempo.
There are no red warning circles on the ground. You learn each blow by watching the body that throws it and listening for it.
Five lands. Five bosses.
Each chapter has its own look, its own horde, its own hazard and a boss at the end. Beat a chapter to open the next.
