About Ebony Spire: Heresy

The tower quest leads through twenty levels toward a goddess, using equipment that can be picked up, thrown, consumed or wielded. Enemies can use the same abilities and items against you. Classic mode uses authored levels and placed encounters, while Infinite mode generates its levels procedurally.
