What it is
You start in a yard with a broom, and you leave home because your brothers are in the way. What follows is a walk through six towns, each with its own fighting style and its own idea of what strength is for — and a campaign that turns out to be about somebody you took fifty gold from in the first five minutes.
Everything happens on one screen at a time. There is no camera to chase and nothing scrolling off the edge: a place is exactly as big as your phone, and when somewhere needs to be bigger, it is two places with a door between them.
-
Turn-based, in one hand
Speed gauges tick, you pick a skill, and the fight resolves. Portrait throughout — no rotating, no two-thumb reach.
-
Slots, not shopping
By the end you can afford your whole line twice over. What shapes a run is which line you climb and what you can carry at once.
-
Sixty-three skills, eighty-two things to wear
Fire, frost, toxin, wind, shadow and a line of sword arts, each one a chain you climb rather than a single purchase.
-
Nothing sharp
The art is deliberately gentle: bursts, sparkles and glows. No blood, no gore, and no lunging — casters stay where they stand.
What it looks like
Tap the ground to stroll
Tap people to talk
Fights are turns, not reflexes
Climb a line, don't buy the shelf
Six slots, five places to put them
One piece per place on the body
It does not want anything from you
No account. No sign-in. No advertising, no analytics, no tracking, and nothing to buy inside the game. Your save stays on your phone, and the app does not send it anywhere — because it does not send anything anywhere.
The long version is on the privacy page, and it is short too.
Languages
The game plays in English, 繁體中文 and Español, switchable from the title screen at any time. The story, every skill and every conversation are translated — anything that is not yet falls back to English rather than going blank.
