概要
Command a hardened squad of heroes to defend the last bastion of humanity against overwhelming waves of undead. This dark fantasy tactical RPG blends turn-based combat with roguelite mechanics and tower defense elements, forcing you to withstand nightmarish assaults while protecting the mages casting the spell to save the world.
ストーリー
In a world ravaged by a cataclysmic purple mist created by reckless wizardry, the last remnants of mankind huddle in crumbling fortifications. You protect the mages channeling the 'The Last Spell'—a ritual to banish all magic and end the apocalypse—while fighting off the grotesque monsters birthed by the mist.
Gameplay
Experience a grueling cycle of day and night. During the day, manage resources to rebuild city defenses, heal wounds, and buy gear. By night, engage in intense turn-based grid combat where a handful of heroes must hold back hundreds of enemies using lethal skills derived entirely from their equipment.
