Impish

You are an imp, living a cozy life in a dungeon. You have everything you need. your peaceful life is shattered when a knight comes to the dungeon to hunt you down. The knight is big and strong, and you know you can't defeat him in a fair fight. But you have one thing he doesn't: a magic candle. This candle allows you to summon powerful mobs to fight on your behalf.

In this Role Reversal, you play as the mob summoning imp trying to defeat the idle Fighter.  Build up your army before the knight becomes too powerful to be stopped. 

Tutorial:

Run away from the Knight, he is faster and stronger than you. To stay alive you need to summon minions to get in his way, but be careful the longer he is in the dungeon the more powerful he becomes.

You gain money over time allowing you to summon minions. You can select which demon you'd like to summon by holding a right click, hovering over them, and releasing.

Controls:
