The Heretics
Battles Against Endless Enemies
Defeat the endless waves of enemies to collect souls and gold. At the end of each wave, decide how to use your resources. Skills and items may work to your advantage or lead to failure depending on your enemies’ traits.

Diverse Weapon Skills
Use the skill points you earn by leveling up to unlock and upgrade a wide range of abilities. Each character has 4 core skills, and you can customize them further by selecting unique tripods.

Various Items
Spend golds earned by killing enemies to strengthen your character. Depending on the enemy composition, you must adapt your strategy to overcome them.

The Journey of the Exiled
You have been banished from Heaven, branded as a heretic. Now their armies march toward you. Defeat them and ascend from Hell to the Land of Mortals, and from the Land of Mortals to Heaven. Spend the souls and gold you earned from defeating enemies to upgrade your skills and purchase items. Emerge as a stronger warrior and slay the archangels to showcase your power. For those abandoned by Heaven, salvation is something you must seize yourself.

I don't know if I am just bad, but I can't get past the third stage with the little mini boss. If I press Ctrl + w my browser closes. It says to press A to use the first ability but nothing happens. Or is it automatic? Then why say to press A. How many dashes do I have? I can barely see all the stats, they are so tiny. Would be nice if I could just move with my mouse instead of the arrow keys.Game looks and sounds nice tho
