The game

A hack'n'slash that hits hard

Fast, punchy fights in full 3D. Every run up the tower is different, every fall teaches you something.

Play as Blaziken

Fists, kicks and fire

Blaziken fights Muay Thai style: light and heavy combos, knees, elbows and a flying Blaze Kick that leaves the ground burning. Fill the gauge and Mega Evolve when the fight turns against you.

Blaziken, the playable Pokémon
Gameplay footage coming soon

Read, parry, punish

Timing beats button mashing

Enemies telegraph their strikes. Parry at the right moment, break their posture and finish them with an execution. Roll through what you cannot block. Playable on keyboard, gamepad or touch screen.

Haxorus, one of the tower's Dominant Pokémon
Gameplay footage coming soon

Build your run

Orbs, Talents and TMs

Collect Orbs that bend your moves, unlock Talents, slot TMs and loot chests on the way up. Alpha elites and Dominant Pokémon guard the best rewards. Die, keep what you learned, and climb again.

Chapter I · The Stormstruck Dragonspire

Three acts, one storm

The tower is rebuilt from a new seed every run. The higher you climb, the closer the storm.

  1. Act I

    Drowned Foundations

    Flooded ruins at the foot of the tower, where you walk inside the clouds.

  2. Act II

    Sanctuary of the Masters

    Old training halls and dragon statues. The fighters who stayed here never left.

  3. Act III

    Thunderstruck Crown

    Wind, debris and lightning above a sea of clouds. The summit is close.

Zekrom

Guardian of the summit

Zekrom

A two-phase duel against the Deep Black Pokémon. Learn which strikes you can parry and which ones you must dodge. Break its posture and it falls to one knee.

Then the storm answers. Tera-Voltage turns the second phase into something else entirely.

  • IZekrom
  • II???
  • III???
  • IV???

More legendaries will guard the next chapters.
