If you actually want to sweat a little and use your brain to set up massive, perfectly timed combo chains, this game completely delivers. You are constantly tweaking highly detailed skill setups to squeeze out every single drop of damage against some seriously terrifying mythical monsters that absolutely refuse to go down easy.

ASSEMBLING A BIZARRE SQUAD OF MONSTERS

Sticking to a standard roster of boring human knights is a massive missed opportunity. The game actively encourages you to build the weirdest, most unhinged lineup possible. You get to dig through a massive vault of over fifty distinct heroes, completely mixing and matching heavily armored werewolves, bloodthirsty vampires, and straight up zombies into a single chaotic squad. Grinding for those ultra rare mythic drops is dangerously addictive. Once you pull a top tier entity, you get total freedom to heavily customize their specific powers and figure out exactly how to break the game’s combat mechanics in your favor.

CLIMBING TOWERS AND CRUSHING REAL PLAYERS

Having a god tier squad is completely useless if you have nothing to actually test it against. The core campaign is packed with massive dungeon crawls where you are constantly bumping into classic heavyweight bosses like highly resistant dragons and raging minotaurs. If you want a real challenge, you can endlessly grind your way up the notoriously brutal floors of the Dark Tower to see how long your team can actually survive. But the real addiction kicks in when you take your carefully optimized nightmare squad into the daily PvP arenas. Humiliating another real player because your weird zombie vampire synergy completely outsmarted their standard setup is insanely rewarding, and the heavy loot drops make the sweat absolutely worth it.
