The boss

The Oni Samurai

Behind the Moon Gate waits a towering red Oni with a long, glowing spectral blade. Every big attack is telegraphed on the ground first, so you can read it and roll through.

Phase 1: a wide blade sweep and an overhead cleave.
Phase 2: it summons skeleton minions and adds a dash slash across the arena.
Phase 3: enraged, it calls a spectral storm of blade ghosts that slam marked circles.

It never one-shots you. Beat it with a team (bots count) and Stage 1 is cleared.

Two ways to play

Co-op or Factions

🤝 Co-opUp to 4 players on one team against the skeletons and the Oni. Empty seats fill with bots. If the whole party goes down, the run ends.

🔴🔵 Factions: Red vs BlueUp to 4v4, bots fill in. Both teams share the map and the same objectives, but enemy-team damage is on and friendly fire is off. Capture shrines for team score, and land the final blow on the Oni for a big bonus. In Factions, accessory stats are normalised so money never wins a fight.

Lantern Square

A village hub with AI villagers

The village plaza is your base between fights: a quest board, a blacksmith and a shrine for talents and gear, plus villagers who talk back.

Granny Ume keeps the tea house and knows all the gossip. Master Sora hands out training and quests. Ren runs errands and time trials.

The villagers have scripted lines for everyone, and AI-powered chat after you verify your email. Replies are filtered to stay kid-safe, and the plaza is a safe zone with no combat.

Progression

Level up, wear your loot

Every hero levels separately to 30, with a talent tree: three power variants and six upgradeable passives, free to re-spec. Quests give XP, gems and gear.

Accessories (charms, rings, masks and talismans) drop in six grades. Upgrade them to level 10, then ascend duplicates up the ladder.
