Basic Gameplay - Your First Steps, Overlord!

Welcome to the game, new Overlord! Here, we'll explain the basic gameplay for you to reign as the ruler of the "Evil Tower" and build the strongest tower. Take your time and learn step by step!

Game Objective: Build the Mightiest Evil Tower!

Your mission, Overlord, is to manage the "Evil Tower" and collect as many "Coins" as possible. You can place various unique monsters in your tower. They will diligently generate Coins for you.

There are many ways to use the Coins you collect:

• Unlock New Floors: Extend your tower upwards and place new monsters. More powerful monsters will earn you more Coins!
• Level Up Monsters: Strengthen the monsters on each floor to increase their Coin generation efficiency.
• Purchase Items in the Shop: You can buy useful items to aid your tower management or special enhancements.

Repeat these actions to increase Coin production, making your tower taller and stronger. Aim for the ultimate "Evil Tower" that reaches the heavens and instills fear in all!

Main Controls

• Tap the Floor!: Tapping a floor makes the monsters on that floor work and earn Coins. It's tedious work, but it's the foundation of your job as Overlord!
• Open the Shop: You can open the shop from the "Shop" button, usually found at the bottom of the screen. In the shop, you can purchase floor automation and various enhancement items.

The Source of Your Power: About Main Currencies

• Coins:

  The most basic currency in the Evil Tower. Generated by monsters working on the floors. You can also earn them by tapping floors directly. They are used for a wide range of things, such as unlocking new floors, leveling up monsters, and purchasing various items in the shop. The top of the screen shows how many Coins you currently have. Always check and use them wisely!

  When dealing with large amounts of Coins in the game, units such as Billion and Trillion are used. As a guide, 1 Billion represents 1,000,000,000 (one thousand million), and 1 Trillion represents 1,000,000,000,000 (one million million). Subsequent units also increase by a factor of 1,000: Quadrillion (10^15), Quintillion (10^18), Sextillion (10^21), Septillion (10^24), Octillion (10^27), Nonillion (10^30), and Decillion (10^33).

• Soul Points:

  This is a special currency, a bit different from Coins. Primarily obtained through a special action called "Reincarnation," which becomes available after progressing to a certain point in the game. Soul Points are used to purchase powerful and permanent upgrades that cannot be bought with Coins (e.g., permanently increasing the income of all monsters). We'll explain Soul Points in detail later in the "Reincarnation and Soul Shop" section, so look forward to it!

Floors and Monsters: Strengthen Your Tower's Core!

Your tower grows taller by stacking "Floors." Each floor houses reliable (?) "Monsters" who stand by to generate Coins for you. Let's take a closer look at the roles of floors and monsters, and how to strengthen them!

What are Floors? Expand Your Dominion!

"Floors" are the individual levels that make up your tower. Each floor serves as a home for unique monsters and an important base for them to generate Coins.

• The Appeal of New Floors:
  • Encounter New Monsters: Unlocking a new floor introduces new types of monsters you haven't seen before. They vary in appearance and abilities, adding to the fun of collecting them!
  • Chance for a Big Income Boost: Generally, monsters on higher floors have a higher initial Coin production capacity. Unlocking a new floor is a great chance to dramatically increase your Coin income!
• How to Unlock:

  You need a certain amount of Coins to unlock a new floor. As you scroll up the screen, you'll see un-unlocked upper floors. There will be an "Unlock" button and the required number of Coins. Tap it when you have enough Coins! The higher you go, the more Coins you'll need to unlock floors, but it's well worth the cost.

  The first floor (1F) is unlocked from the start of the game.

Monsters: Your Loyal (?) Coin Production Squad!

Each floor has monsters awaiting your command. They work hard to generate Coins when tapped or when the floor is automated.

• Unique Monsters: Skeletons, Goblins, Golems... As you ascend the tower, various types of monsters will appear. Each monster has a different appearance and initial earning power. Finding your favorite monster can be one of the joys of this game!
• Power Up by Leveling Up!:

  You can "Level Up" monsters by spending Coins. When a monster's level increases, the amount of Coins that floor generates significantly increases! The amount of Coins needed to level up varies depending on the current level and monster type, but the more you invest, the more Coins your monsters (floors) will reward you with. Actively level them up to continuously increase your Coin production efficiency!

  When a monster reaches a certain level, its appearance might change, or something special might happen...? That's for you to discover as you raise them!

"Automation" is the Shortcut to Becoming a Great Overlord!

"Automation" is an extremely important element in managing the Evil Tower. When you purchase an "Automation" upgrade for a specific floor in the shop, the monsters on that floor will automatically collect Coins without you needing to tap.

• Coins Galore, Even While You Sleep: Automated floors continue to produce Coins tirelessly even when you're not playing the game (offline). When you next launch the game, a wealth of offline earnings will be waiting for you!
• Permanent Effect After One Purchase: Once purchased, automation upgrades last forever. Automating key floors early on to secure a stable source of Coin income is key to efficiently developing your tower.

Deciding which floors to automate first is also part of your strategy as Overlord. Will you prioritize high-income floors, or something else...? Try various approaches!

Reincarnation and Soul Shop: Aim for Greater Heights!

Once you've made some progress in managing your Evil Tower, a new path called "Reincarnation" will open up. Reincarnation is a crucial step to further power yourself up, using your past efforts as fuel. Here, we'll explain in detail the mechanics of Reincarnation and the permanent upgrades you can purchase with the "Soul Points" earned through it.

What is Reincarnation? Be Reborn with New Power, Overlord!

"Reincarnation" is a system where you reset the levels of your monsters, your floor unlock status, and your possessed Coins, essentially starting the game over from (almost) the beginning. You might be surprised, "What? I have to reset everything I've worked for?" But don't worry! Reincarnation has tremendous merits that more than make up for the reset. It's like a "New Game Plus," allowing you to manage your tower more efficiently and aim for even higher floors than before.

You need to reach a certain floor to perform Reincarnation. The required floor number gradually increases with each Reincarnation. When Reincarnation becomes available, a dedicated "Reincarnate" button somewhere in the game UI will become pressable.

The Amazing Merits of Reincarnation: Stronger, More Efficient!

By reincarnating, you can gain two major benefits. Understanding these is key to conquering the Evil Tower!

• 1. Income Bonus (Permanent Coin Gain Increase!):

  Each time you reincarnate, the "Income Bonus" value, which is permanently multiplied with your overall game Coin income, is recalculated and strengthened based on your achievements in the previous run. The higher this bonus, the more Coins you'll earn with the same monsters at the same levels after reincarnating, dramatically increasing your game progression speed! For example, if your Income Bonus doubles, the income from all your floors will constantly be twice as much.

  This crucial "Income Bonus" is primarily determined by the following four factors. Playing with these factors in mind will lead to a higher bonus:

  • Reincarnation Count Bonus: The number of times you've reincarnated directly adds to the bonus. The more you reincarnate, the steadily your tower's basic earnings will increase. It's a testament to "persistence pays off!"
  • Highest Floor Reached Bonus: The higher the floor you reached at the time of Reincarnation, the larger the bonus you'll receive. Building your tower higher and challenging unknown territories directly translates to increased earning power. (However, this bonus has an upper limit.)
  • Total Monster Level Bonus: The higher the total level of all monsters in your tower at the time of Reincarnation, the more bonus will be added. It's important to raise many monsters to high levels evenly. Leveling all monsters moderately can be more effective than extremely leveling up a single one. (This also has an upper limit.)
  • Possessed Coins Bonus: The more Coins you possess at the moment of Reincarnation, the more will be converted into a bonus. It's a good idea to gather as many Coins as possible right before reincarnating! There's no need to spend them all. (However, this bonus also has an upper limit, and its growth is gentler compared to other factors, plateauing after a certain point.)

  The bonuses calculated from these four factors are summed up to become your new "Income Bonus" after Reincarnation. This bonus has a permanent effect and will strongly support your tower management.

• 2. Acquire Soul Points (Fundamentally Strengthen Yourself at the Soul Shop!):

  When you reincarnate, you will acquire a very precious special currency called "Soul Points". These Soul Points are used in a special place called the "Soul Shop" to purchase extremely powerful upgrades that permanently enhance your own abilities or the basic capabilities of your tower. Enhancements from Soul Points will boost your power on a different axis from the Income Bonus.

  The amount of Soul Points you can acquire is primarily calculated based on the following three factors. Improving these factors is the secret to obtaining a large number of Soul Points!

  • Highest Floor Reached: The higher the floor you reached at the time of Reincarnation, the overwhelmingly, exponentially more Soul Points you will acquire. This can be said to be the single most important factor influencing Soul Point acquisition! Reaching even slightly higher floors is the surest and most efficient way to get lots of Soul Points.
  • Total Monster Level: The higher the total level of all monsters on all floors at the time of Reincarnation, the more Soul Points you will get. While not as impactful as the highest floor reached, this also steadily increases your Soul Points.
  • Possessed Coins: The more Coins you possess at the time of Reincarnation, the more Soul Points you'll receive, but this effect doesn't grow as rapidly as the highest floor or total level (it increases logarithmically and diminishes in effect after a certain point). Balance your Coins, considering their impact on the Income Bonus as well.

  All enhancements obtained with Soul Points are permanent. So, by repeatedly reincarnating, systematically collecting Soul Points, and stacking upgrades at the Soul Shop, you will become increasingly powerful, and stages that were once difficult will become a breeze!

Notes on Reincarnation: What Stays, What Goes?

Reincarnation brings powerful benefits, but remember that some data will be reset. However, the "soul of your strength" as an Overlord will not be lost!

• What Carries Over (Proof of Your Growth, Not Lost!):
  • Your Reincarnation count so far
  • The "Income Bonus" accumulated through Reincarnations
  • All "Soul Points" you've acquired
  • The effects of all permanent upgrades purchased from the "Soul Shop"
  • "Achievement" completion status and their permanent bonus effects
  • Items purchased in the "Rest Area" and their permanent effects (details in a later section!)
  • Status and permanent effects of other special purchased items, etc.
• What Resets (A Fresh Start!):
  • Unlock status of all floors (you'll have to unlock them again from the first floor)
  • Levels of all monsters (they all bravely restart from level 1)
  • Possessed Coins (unfortunately, they become 0 after being used to calculate Reincarnation bonuses and Soul Points)
  • Temporary upgrades purchased in the shop and the automation status of each floor (these also need to be repurchased)

In other words, the tangible aspects of your tower, like its specific structure and monster levels, are reset. However, the "permanent strength" and "management know-how" gained through Reincarnation, the Soul Shop, achievements, etc., areしっかりと carried over. This is the true thrill of Reincarnation!

Soul Shop: Permanently Enhance Yourself with Soul Points! Awaken Your Dormant Power!

The Soul Shop is a special place where you can use your collected Soul Points to purchase various upgrades that permanently and dramatically improve your tower management capabilities and monster strength. You should be able to access it from the in-game "Shop" or screens related to "Reincarnation." Your choices here will greatly influence your future as an Overlord!

• Examples of Diverse Permanent Upgrades: The Soul Shop offers many attractive upgrades that you can choose according to your playstyle. Here are some examples:
  • Overall Production Multiplier Up: Permanently increases the base amount of Coins generated by all monsters. This is one of the highest priority upgrades, useful in all situations. You'll likely feel the effect even with a small investment.
  • Increase Initial Floor Count After Reincarnation: Increases the number of floors that are already unlocked after Reincarnation. This allows you to skip the tedious early game phase after reincarnating and transition to full-scale management more quickly. Recommended for Overlords who want to improve their cycling efficiency.
  • Strengthen Specific Monster Types: Pinpoint strengthens specific types of monsters, such as "Skeleton-type income +50%." Effective if you have favorite monsters or want to focus on strengthening specific floors.
  • Offline Income Bonus Up: Adds a further bonus to the amount of Coins earned while you are not playing the game. For busy Overlords who can't play much, this is an extremely valuable upgrade.
  • Various Cost Reductions (Monster Level Up, Automation, etc.): Permanently reduces the amount of Coins needed to level up monsters or automate floors. This allows you to strengthen your tower with fewer Coins, accelerating your growth speed.
  • Shop Discount Rate Up (Regular Customer Privilege): Permanently discounts the price of items available in the regular Coin shop (such as automation or temporary boosts). This leads to Coin savings, allowing you to spend more Coins on other enhancements.
  • Expand Item Inventory: (If there's an inventory for consumable items like potions in the game) Increases its maximum capacity. This might broaden your strategic options.
• Upgrade Levels and Costs: Many upgrades have "levels," and you can further enhance their effects by spending Soul Points to level them up. However, the Soul Points required for leveling up will also gradually (sometimes sharply!) increase as the level rises.
• Wise Choices Make a Strong Overlord! Strategic Purchase Planning: Which upgrades to prioritize and level up is up to your strategy and talent. For example, will you first raise something that affects everything, like "Overall Production Multiplier Up," or prioritize specific cost reductions to improve efficiency? Use your Soul Points wisely according to your playstyle and your next goal (e.g., significantly updating the highest floor reached in the next Reincarnation). Sometimes, it might be effective to deliberately save points and aim for more expensive and powerful upgrades all at once.

When is the Best Time to Reincarnate? Judgment is Key!

"When is the best time to reincarnate?" is perhaps an eternal question that every Overlord ponders at some point. Unfortunately, there's no one-size-fits-all answer like "This timing is absolute!" This is because the optimal timing greatly varies depending on your playstyle, Soul Shop upgrade status, and current goals. However, generally, the following are good signs to consider Reincarnation:

• When You Start Feeling Stagnation in Growth: If your game progression has clearly slowed down, unlocking new floors or leveling up monsters takes an enormous amount of time, and you're starting to feel a sense of monotony or deadlock, it might be a good opportunity to reincarnate.
• When the Amount of Soul Points You Can Gain Becomes Attractive: When you feel that the amount of Soul Points you can get from the next Reincarnation outweighs the value of the Coins you're struggling to earn in your current playthrough. Especially if those Soul Points can buy powerful upgrades in the Soul Shop, or significantly level up existing important upgrades, it's an excellent time.
• After Achieving a Specific Goal: For example, after achieving a short-term goal like, "Let's advance a few more floors to buy the next Soul Shop upgrade," can also be a good milestone.

By repeating Reincarnation, you'll be able to reach heights you couldn't before, faster and more easily. Reincarnation might seem a bit daunting at first, but great growth awaits beyond it. Don't be afraid to embrace this new power, accumulate Soul Power, and forge your path to becoming the strongest Overlord!
