2021 Winter Update - New Release Date

Announcement - Now aiming EA on Q1 2022


We updated our early access release date to Q1 2022. Instead of the planned 2 heroes, we are going to release 3 heroes: Wukong, White Dragon, and Holy Monk. Each hero’s story mode includes 3 chapters and 19 levels of trials. We will also release an endless game mode, in parallel with the story mode. We apologize for the inconveniences.

Major updates


[h2]New Monkey King Hair System[/h2]
We redesigned the mechanism of Monkey King Hair. Now the new hair card can summon a little monkey to fight alongside Wukong. Each little monkey has 1HP, and will attack once with 3 base damage when Wukong attacks - a nice way to leverage powers or relics that favor multiple attacks or multiple allies.

Check out the little monkeys in real combat:

[h2]Statistics and Achievement[/h2]
Now every playthrough will be recorded and analyzed by the new statistics and achievement system. We will continue to add new achievements as more heroes and game modes are released.
