Set in Dota’s White Spire, the game puts you in charge of a crew of heroes competing for control of the city. Choose an Underlord to lead your team; each has distinct abilities and perks.
Recruit heroes between rounds, upgrade them by collecting copies, and arrange your lineup for automated battles. Combining heroes with shared alliances unlocks team bonuses, while hero and item choices shape your strategy.
Play Standard matches, quick Knockout games, or team up in Duos. City Crawl adds solo puzzle challenges and street fights, while ranked play tracks your climb through the ranks. Offline matches against AI are also available.

Some also appreciate its relaxed pace, mobile play, and modes for playing with friends. Many reviews lament the lack of updates, with balance concerns and reduced matchmaking activity also mentioned.
