A group of people wake up in a strange post-apocalyptic labyrinth – naked, with no memories and with a lot of weapons. Is this a joke, a crazy experiment or… a game? You’ll find out soon enough, just try not to die first!

Your puny team is capable of much more. Pick your loot and turn the squishy humans into wizards, cultists, ninjas and dozens of other heroes, including the mythical ancient pretzel throwers. With perks and class combos, there are thousands of ways to build your army. The man-eating cabbage will appreciate the variety in its diet!

Equip the unarmed masses with one of 50 weapons ranging from conventional swords and rifles to ridiculous devices like old pretzel throwers, magic rabbits-in-a-hat and damage-soaked refrigerators. Utilize 10 human classes including throwers, mages and cultists, build their ranks and diversify armaments to unlock power-ups that aid in combat.

Keep the ranks well-fed and deploy them strategically for a better chance of survival. While mages and gunners provide support in long-range attacks, fighters wearing Rocky’s iconic boxing gloves and tanks with protective periodic tables must take to the front lines for hands-on combat and protection.

Stack mutations to boost powers, such as invoking “Glory to Satan” to sacrifice a newcomer and summoning an eldritch tentacle that deals massive damage to enemies. Break through 60 types of monsters with destructive skills to survive this chaotic killing games. From man-eating cabbages and killer robots to necromancers joined by vicious giant skeletons ready to drop humans into black portals, many dangers await.

If you can survive the labyrinth, you’ll meet OTHER PLAYERS’ UNSTOPPABLE END GAME BUILDINGS! You will kill each other and only one will be spared by d’Spot. No offense, but in his own game he writes the rules!
