The free demo is out: six weapons, seven waves

What's inside?

  • One battlefield: the Gate Deck.
  • One playable core and six starting weapon choices.
  • Seven waves at the starting difficulty, ending with an elite encounter.
  • Between-wave shops for weapon purchases, combinations, and upgrades.

Auto-attacks. Your survival decisions.

Your weapons attack automatically. You handle movement, dodging, collecting materials, and deciding what to buy next. Different starting weapons offer different ways to build through the same battlefield.
