HOW TO PLAY
Take your time to prepare.
Let your team do the fighting.
Consider your allies' abilities and how they work together.
Build your team to face the powerful enemies ahead.
Build your formation
Position your allies in six slots divided between the front and back rows, then strengthen them with gear and spell cards. Three copies of the same standard ally card merge into a stronger, gold-bordered version.
Watch your plan unfold
Once you are ready, send your team into battle. Combat runs automatically. Your allies' abilities and positions shape the outcome.
SIX SLOTS, YOUR STRATEGY
Six slots.
Build your own synergies.
Who belongs in the front row? Who should stay at the back? Which ally will make the best use of an item?
Combine abilities that trigger when allies enter or leave play, and find synergies that suit your team. When a run ends, try again with a different formation.
Pick up where you left off.
Progress is saved automatically after actions such as purchases, formation changes, and battles. Choose Continue on the home screen to resume your run. Check the collection guide for details of each ally's abilities.

Is it free to play?
The main game is free to play. On your first journey, choose three ally groups from the four free groups—Village Folk, Mountain Folk, Craft Folk, and Forest Folk—and any additional groups you own. Further journeys become available as you progress. Six additional groups—Ghost Folk, Oni, Spirit Beasts, Spirit Bird, Tool Spirit, and Ghost—are available through optional one-time in-app purchases. Buying additional groups is separate from spending in-game coins and does not bypass the progression requirements for later journeys.
