The hooks (what makes it different)
- Honest gacha — drop rates published and the pity counter shown on-screen, not buried in a Terms of Service. (You can verify it in the simulator above.)
- No ads in battle. Ever. Stamina recharges free; difficulty is never paywalled.
- Manual by default — real tactics, not an autoplay slot machine. Auto-battle is opt-in and tier-gated.
- 200-floor roguelite — a persistent Tower climb and a roguelike Abyss descent share one roster, with perks, artifacts, and per-run map variety.
- FFT / Tactics Ogre DNA on a phone — the itch a lot of grid-tactics players have missed for years.

100 words
Apex & Abyss is a free tactical RPG roguelite for Android, built for players who miss Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre. Combat runs on charge-time turn order across a 12×12 grid where height, cover, and facing decide fights; you climb a 200-floor gauntlet, drafting a party from 23 heroes and 50+ branching skills against 58 monster types. It's free with gacha, but built to be trusted: drop rates are published, the pity counter is shown on-screen, there are no ads in battle, and difficulty is never paywalled. It's in Android closed beta now, launching on Google Play in 2026.
