The real game is the backpack

Every fight ends with a choice

Win a room, pick one of three drops. Equip it, merge it, or sell it for gold. Your gear decides your skills: a shield gives you Shield Bash, an axe gives you Cleave, a vampiric amulet drinks your enemy's health.

Item names are real. So is the hat.

Uncommon

Colander Hat

Keeps the soup out and the thoughts in. Mostly.

Legendary

The Grudger

The Captain's old sword. Still sulking about the gate.

Rare

Royal Spoon

Solid silver, royal crest, slightly bent. The King has been asking after it.

One thumb, short runs

Portrait, tap-only, turn-based. A room takes under a minute, a run under twenty.

Builds, not grinding

Families, sets and item skills stack into builds you plan on the fly.

Fantasy with a wink

Knights and goblins played straight, with flavour text that is not.

Fair to free players

Ads are always optional. Money never buys power. Everything can be earned.

Still on duty after three hundred years

A stormy night: the castle of Varrow sinks into a chasm while a lone guard with a lantern holds the gate

The legend of Varrow

The night the kingdom sank

King Osric feared death above all else, so he wished that no one in his kingdom would ever truly die. The wish was granted the literal way: the earth swallowed Varrow, castle, court and king, so nothing there could ever end.

You are the Captain of the Night Watch, the last man seen at his post when the ground opened. The court has blamed you ever since. Every time you fall, you wake in a forgotten storeroom in the lowest cellar, and the few folk still loyal to you help you try again.

Made for one thumb

Fight, loot, repeat

Tap an enemy for a free attack or fire one of three skills from your gear. Watch the enemy's intent, plan your turn, and drag your loot into place between rooms.

Every five rooms, a shop or a rest. Every floor, a boss.

The crown is waiting

Somewhere at the top of the tower, the King still sits on his throne. Climb high enough and you might find out what really happened at the gate.
