# Ascend the Tower Paradox Tower is a resource management RPG where you must find your way to the top. Luck has no place in this game. Every decision matters. The strength of each enemy is clearly displayed, and it's up to you to find the best path to victory. Pick your battles, get stronger, and use powers to defeat enemies! Don't sweat your mistakes! Time is your ally, and you can always rewind if you get stuck. ### Save the Witches and Demons The witch council is in turmoil! The demons have taken hold of the tower. It's up to Eternia, the young Witch of Time, and Bubu, her demon cat familiar, to save everyone. Will they manage, while preserving their past and future ? Only you can tell! ### Game Features - **Deterministic Auto-Battler Combat**: No RNG, no luck. Winning depends only on your tactics and wits. - **Upgrade Your Stats**: Grab power-ups to get stronger.
