Dojo of a Thousand Lives

Dojo of a Thousand Lives is a fighting game built around progression across multiple lifetimes. The player strikes opponents by clicking or by holding the mouse button, and later unlocks automation and further layers of progression. An ancient master named Kano guides the player’s lineage of fighters against increasingly powerful opponents, including bosses.

Each fighter eventually reaches a limit, at which point the player passes experience on to a new generation and begins again. Progress carries over through a tree of permanent talents and ancient techniques. Players can choose talents, combine upgrades, and build a fighting style that focuses on strike power, automatic attack efficiency, precision, or resource generation. Other mechanics include exploiting opponents’ weak points and building combos, with the choice between taking on new challenges or strengthening the fighter before the next confrontation.

As generations pass, the dojo changes, new teachings appear, and powers that alter the rules of progression become available. Beyond the standard battles, the game includes legendary guardians, increasingly demanding trials, and a mysterious force whose limits are unknown even to Kano.
