I don't want to bore you guys with a ton of text. I could spend paragraphs on how this game is free, how there are tons of players who are much farther along than I am who haven't spent a dime on the game, how it blends the stamina-based combat of Dark Souls with the grind of loot-based games like Destiny and even incorporates Metroidvania-like elements with its locked gates and elaborate level layout. But I'll just say that if you like these games, and you haven't even downloaded it, please do. The devs are 400,000 downloads from 4 million, and that would help ensure this under-appreciated gem keeps getting new content. So instead of a wall of text I'll try to entice to join in on the journey with a pictorial homage to my time with the game so far (fyi the game runs at 1440P on the Pro!).

The game starts with an indication of how expendable your characters are:
This is a common early game situationlow on gear, starring at an unfamiliar escalator, wondering where it leads:
You find a few blueprints, collect a bunch of materials, and start gearing up:
Along the way, you develop quite an intimate relationship with the elevator operator:
The early levels can be drab, but that's because you're in the basement. It's when you reach the 20th floor of the Tower that things really start impress:
You'll spend millions on Mushroom Stews trying to get the best Premium Decals:
Once in a while, it pays off:
You'll visit the fabled moving shop. A lot:
You'll even raid other player's bases and steal their fighters (for a little while ):
You'll hide in the corner hunting Jackals for their gear:
It will be worth it:
Finally you'll make it to the top of the tower:
Remember not to fall:
There's so much more to this game. I haven't even gotten to the new floors or fighting the Forcemen. Maybe it's because it's another of these Japanese gems. They don't seem to make games like this anywhere else. I don't know. But for someone who loves grindy games and has the patience to play them, and loves relentless Souls-style combat and excellent excellent fashionable loot, I'm in for the long haul.
