What is Anime Apocalypse?
Anime Apocalypse is a fast-paced anime dungeon slayer on Roblox. You clear wave-based dungeons filled with zombies and undead bosses, unlock powerful abilities inspired by classic anime, and collect pets and equipment to grow stronger.
Starting Out
When you first join, you'll be in the Hub World. Here you can:
- Buy abilities from the Ability Shop
- Equip pets and gear
- Enter dungeon portals
Tip: Talk to the NPC near spawn — they give you a free starter ability.

Your First Dungeon
- Head to the Beginner Portal (green glow, left of spawn)
- You can enter solo or wait for a party (max 4 players)
- Clear all zombie waves in each room to unlock the next door
- The Boss room is always the final room
Warning: Boss health scales with player count. Solo is harder but gives bonus loot.
Early Game Priority
Focus on these in order:
- Get a good Skill 1 — This is your primary DPS. Look for Fire Slash or Wind Blade in the shop.
- Level up your pet — Even a C-tier pet provides +5% damage at max level.
- Do 3 dungeon runs daily — First 3 runs per day give bonus gem rewards.
Gems & Currency
Gems are the main currency. You earn them by:
- Clearing dungeon rooms (+10–50 per room)
- Boss kills (+100–500)
- Daily bonuses
- Redeem codes (check our codes page)
