A classical turn-based roguelike* styled game, with pixel art graphics. The main feature of the game are caves, that you can dig through using your pickaxe. Both magic and high technology go together here.

*From Wikipedia:
"Roguelike is a subgenre of RPG games that are characterized by random level generation, turn-based gameplay, tile-based graphics, and permanent death of the player-character."

Also features:

- A lot of unlockable high-tech armors
- Different special abilities
- Find resources and craft unique and powerful items in a Crafting Station on your base
- Hordes of skeletons, mutants, robots, and other creatures
- Create your unique character by choosing different stats. Find your playstyle and your tactic.
- Big, randomly generated areas to explore
- Many interesting items
- A huge weapons arsenal, from bows and daggers to plasma guns and energy swords, experimental guns, and magic superweapons

The game is in constant development and I am actively working on new content and gameplay elements.

Ratings and reviews

This game is very weird. You're thrown right into the game with tons of text to explain just the mechanics of your home base after putting some points into a very basic RPG stat system. The first thing you'll notice is that the art style is EXTREMELY pixelated so you really have no idea what you're looking at in any given moment. In your first dungeon, you tap around and realize that it's a turn based game but every tap is a turn. I can tell it's a deep game but I wouldn't play it on mobile.

The dev's added so much since 2017. I've never seen any game, especially a mobile one, continuously be updated so frequently for more than 6 years now. I don't think there's this level of depth in any other game on mobile at that either. There's just so much to the game that it feels like a complete experience that of which only used to be available on consoles & PC 2 decades ago. I just wish there were more character animations & portrait view. Otherwise well done!

Best mobile rougelike game. Maybe even the best mobile game. Unlike most mobile games it doesn't hand you everything from the start and trivialize the rest of the game, or let you skip through a large portion of the game with money. Instead you are thrown straight in, and is pretty difficult before you understand it's mechanics. While it is a bit slow paced you likely wont even notice that time fly by. The ads are almost non-existant as well.
