Moonbow Idle: Dark Fantasy Auto Battler

210 stages. 21 bosses. 21 pets to hatch. 42 gear pieces.

Leave it running or min-max it. Nine Arsenal powers, three Ascend Paths, 100 achievements, and an endless mode after the final boss.

She holds the road. You make her stronger. A girl in a red hood, a silver bow shaped like a crescent moon, and a road that monsters pour down until the end of time. She fights on her own. What she turns into is up to you.

Moonbow Idle is a dark fantasy idle auto battler. Leave it running on a second monitor while you get on with your day, or sit down and chase the next boss. It works either way.

What you actually do

• Spend gold on seven upgrades, from Damage to Counter Attack, and watch the next wave fall faster than the last.

• Pick one of three perks every time you level up: pierce more enemies, hit harder, shrug off more damage.

• Unlock the Arsenal: nine powers, from venom, fire and frost to a mark on the toughest enemy, orbiting souls, chain lightning, arrow volleys, explosions and hail. It's the expensive stuff, and it makes fights look completely different.

• Open the Stats screen to see where every point of power comes from, and which of your tricks is doing the damage.

A long way down the road

210 stages across seven biomes: meadow, swamp, volcano, ice, ruins, desert and the shadow lands. Each one looks, sounds and feels different.

And the monsters are more than reskins. Some poison you, some heal their friends, some come in swarms, and some get back up after you've killed them.

There are 21 bosses, one every ten stages, and each has moves you can read and answer: wind-ups to break with a hit or a freeze, shields, summoned guards, curses. At the very end the Eclipse Sovereign is waiting.

The road has surprises between bosses: a treasure chest that runs if you're slow, an elite with a fat reward, a timed trial. And beating the Sovereign is not the end. Endless mode loops the biomes with a new mutation every 30 stages, and the rewards grow with it.

Pets, loot, and a good reason to ascend

• Bosses drop eggs. Hatch them to collect 21 companions, take three along, and give each one a skill you can fire yourself or leave on auto. Pets from the same family form bonds that add extra bonuses.

• 42 pieces of gear in seven sets. Wear two or four from the same set and you get something fun: permanent poison, a freezing wind, a second life. Save up to three gear-and-pet builds and swap between them in one click.

• Got a duplicate? Great, it levels up.

• When a run gets too hard, ascend. You trade it for relics that boost everything for good, keep your pets and gear, and go again. Farther every time. Spend the stars you earn on three Paths, Hunter, Warden and Fortune, each ending in a capstone power.
