Develop your character

Choose your hero from the list of generated adventurers. Choose wisely, because, in addition to choosing a class, certain traits and stat spreading can significantly affect your playing experience. Increase its characteristics, level up, choose upgrades and perks. Pick the right equipment for your builds.

Develop your clan

Raise the family clan level by getting Fame (complete quests, explore the Tower). For clan level-ups, get small clan bonuses, which will gradually add up to a good boost for all your characters. Send your old characters to the well-deserved retirement, thereby earning additional clan Fame.

Take back the lost clan lands and start building them up, taking various bonuses from buildings. For example, the Tavern allows you to have several characters at the same time.

Explore the mysterious Tower

Unlock and explore new floors, along with new classes and upgrades. Buy Tower upgrades from the enigmatic Attendant. Discover and explore secret places, find powerful gear for your characters, fight new enemies.

Complete quests and find unexpected allies

Do the quests, those that wait for your help can be found both in your home camp and in a strange mysterious Tower. Get Fame for your clan for this.

Unlock new skills for your characters and improve relationships with your allies by doing class and faction quests.

Use skills of power crystals

Retrieve incomprehensible power crystals that gain you new active skills. Use these skills to diversify your gaming experience and cover the weak spots of your characters.

Try not to die

Preserve your heroes, don't forget to heal in time, buy and use bandages when low on health. If your character dies, then it is permanent, and its loot and equipment will stay in the Tower.

And don't despair after defeat

With time, you'll learn how to minimize harm from the death of characters and the loss of gear. You'll unlock upgrades that allow you to pick up the dropped loot of your predecessors. And defeat doesn't always mean the death of the character, you'll have your chances to survive and escape, but this will lead to the chance of getting traumas, or even injuries. If you have a Hospital, there you can heal your traumas if they weren't left to a serious condition.

Try new classes and builds and you'll achieve great results!

Troubleshooting

• If you have shader related fatal error on starting up, in most cases it means that you need to install 'DirectX 9.0c' manually.

• Laptops usually have performance troubles with the game, especially gaming laptops with geforce, as it launches on integrated videocard by default, you'll need to change it in geforce program manually. (Planning to fix it later)
