Heartless & Dreadful: Return by 72 Hours Free Download (v1.01)
Game Overview
In the world of darkness. There is an interesting being. A being who holds a tournament for the strong. They call him the Master of Darkness. Why does he hold a tournament? No one knows. Some say it enjoys the sight of young blood being spilled. Some say it is for other, unknown motives. The Master of Darkness knew that no one would just come forward and spill their blood for him for no reason… so he offered a reward. A wish. Anything the victorious team could wish for would be granted to each of its members. Shamir, one of the leading demon lords, and his small team, Dominika and Kair, are on a winning streak, getting closer and closer to their goal… Ever since they heard about the tournament, they’ve been working hard to get to the top. Everything was going well… Until a fateful moment…
