About this gameFull description from Steam
A build-driven action roguelite inspired by the forbidden path of cultivation. Play as a "Bait Soul" struggling to break a tragic destiny, using every resource to carve a path of survival through a dungeon fraught with danger. An innovative "Soul Orb + Support Item" loadout system. Each weapon slot (Soul Orb) has unique attributes, and Support Items grant chain buffs to adjacent weapons. Will you pursue extreme damage output or build an impenetrable defense? Flexibly adjust the layout of Weapons, Soul Orbs, and Support Items to crush powerful enemies with strategy. Reject tedious controls and focus purely on movement and strategy. Your character automatically attacks locked enemies. You only need to focus on Blinking to dodge lethal attacks and Sprinting to reposition. With an extremely low learning curve and fluid action experience, you can control the battlefield with just one hand. Hundreds of functionally diverse Relics are scattered deep within the dungeon. They are not just stat sticks; they can fundamentally change your combat mechanics. Every pickup can lead to a qualitative leap, making every adventure a unique loot-hunting experience. Combat is not everything. In this ever-changing underground palace, various mysterious events and secret rooms are hidden. Mysterious merchants, ancient altars, unknown gambles... Every corner hides opportunity or crisis, waiting for you to discover.
