Characters

Humans are the most versatile and balanced characters, making them a reliable choice for any party. They start with higher HP levels compared to other races, allowing them to survive longer in combat. They can equip almost any weapon or armor. Humans can also carry up to eight items, giving them significant flexibility for battle and exploration.

Buying stat potions for humans

Unlike mutants or monsters, Humans do not grow automatically through combat. Their stats must be increased by purchasing upgrades: STRONG, AGILITY, MANA, HP200, HP400, HP600, and HP800. “HP200” increases maximum HP to 200 if it's lower. “HP400” increases maximum HP to 400, and so on with the higher number potions.

Humans have little to no magical ability, so don't bother buying them spells. Instead, focus on boosting their HP, strength, and agility. Outfit them with the best equipment available. You can buy them mana potions to improve their mana, but don't bother. You're much better off having a Mutant if you wanted a magical character.

In the game's lore, Humans are the most common race on the Continent. Their increasing numbers and martial strength have allowed them to reclaim territory from invading monsters, though the secrets of The Tower remain elusive. They are also known for their endurance and adaptability, making them effective in nearly any combat situation.

Mutants are a unique offshoot of the Human race, blending human traits with older races of the Continent. They tend to be physically weaker at the start, with lower HP than Humans. However, they possess a remarkable potential for growth. Unlike Humans, Mutants do not improve their stats through purchased upgrades. Instead, their abilities grow naturally as they gain experience.

Initially, Mutants may appear to have eight slots for items like Humans. However, the reality is that the first four slots are reserved for spells and abilities, leaving only four slots for items. This forces you to carefully decide how to fill those four slots. Mutants are physically weak, so it's important to fill these item slots with armor.

Mutant with abilities & magic

Mutants also acquire magic and abilities that evolve as they gain experience. The evolution of these abilities is random. Frequent use increases the likelihood of change, while neglecting them prevents growth. Spells have a fixed number of charges. Their charges are restored when you rest at an inn.

In addition to this magic, there are times where it's beneficial to use one of your precious four item slots to equip a spell. During those long journeys through the tower, having a Cure spell can save your butt!

Mutants are particularly effective with certain weapons that Humans cannot fully use. The P-Knife and P-Sword deal damage based on the wielder's Mana, which Humans lack. The Vampic (“vampiric”) Sword absorbs HP from enemies, restoring the wielder's HP if it is below the maximum.

Mutants' combination of evolving abilities and specialized weapon compatibility makes them a versatile and rewarding choice for players willing to experiment and adapt their strategy.

Monsters come in many shapes and sizes. Some are ancient creatures of the Continent, while others arrive from The Tower and have proven friendly. They have learned to communicate with the man-like races and coexist with them. As player characters, monsters have a unique growth system that sets them apart from Humans and Mutants.

Monsters gain strength by eating meats dropped by enemies (after winning a battle). Consuming meat may cause a monster to transform into a new form, inheriting the HP and abilities of the consumed creature. This means a monster can become weaker if it eats a lesser creature or stronger if it consumes a more powerful one. Because of this, careful selection of meat is key to guiding a monster's growth. Monsters start with low HP but often possess strong attacks. This makes early battles potentially dangerous if not managed wisely.

Unlike Humans or Mutants, Monsters cannot use items, and their progression relies entirely on consuming meat. Most transformations result in a new monster type. However, sometimes eating meat simply restores HP and abilities without changing the form.

It's important to note that transformations are not always upgrades. A powerful Oni could accidentally become a weak Fly if the wrong meat is eaten. So, be careful! Strategy is essential when managing a Monster character.
