Weapons Journey is a fun, interactive web game that combines offensive tactics with defensive strategies. The main goal is to defeat waves of monsters while steadily building up an arsenal of weapons, armor, and special skills. You'll earn gold for every victory but also lose it with every defeat. Gold is your currency for buying new stock, healing yourself, and utilizing your special advantages.
To play the game, you wait for oncoming monsters to travel across the screen and reach you. Once they do, you whack them repeatedly with your choice in weapons as their health bar steadily decreases. As you gain experience, you'll be given rewards, including gold coins that can be exchanged for in-game accessories like better armor, increased skills, and damage healing for your own health bar. You'll also face bigger and stronger monsters as you become a mightier warrior. The creatures start as slimeballs and evolve from there.
A fun aspect of Weapons Journey is that you never die within the game. Even when a monster defeats you, you'll be healed after the battle. However, the triumphant monsters will take half of your gold, which will limit your ability to heal yourself or exchange weapons during battle.
The timing of your clicks is everything in this game: As you strike the monsters, they strike you back. A small, clock-like circle accompanies each creature during battle, and when it reaches zero, you take a hit. You'll need to pay close attention to both you and your enemy's health bars to stay alive.
