About

Titanic entities, referred to as the Titans, have taken over Heaven’s reign. An unlikely coalition arises among ex-angels and ex-demons, compelled to collaborate in order to counter their shared adversary.

Currently, it’s time for you to lead these groups onto freshly built trains, commencing your voyage through Hell, Heaven, and the Abyss. Your mission is to vanquish the Titans before they bring about the destruction of our realm.

You are now tasked with guiding these clans onboard newly constructed trains, embarking on a journey that will take you through Hell, Heaven, and the Abyss. Your objective is to conquer the Titans before they wreak havoc and destroy our world.

Chaos awaits beyond the gates!
