1 skill point is required to unlock the first skill tree and 10 has to be invested into that first skill tree to unlock the other skill trees. However, the maximum level is 60, which gives a total of 17 skill points. Spending 10 skill points allows access to the other skill trees, allowing more customization. Every 3 skill points invested into a skill tree unlocks a new tier. This essentially allows each minion to perform in one of three different roles. At first, only one of the three may be selected. Here's the fun part of the game: each minion can be customized. For example, one of the latter Seals allows the player to select a second minion from the hatchery if the first selected minion is not desired.
Each Seal will give some special ability. There are six Seals to gather to unlock the battle with the Grand Sage. After the battle with the Minor Sage, the player receives a piece of a Seal and access to a hatchery where he/she may gain a new minion. On each floor, the player has to battle three Students to unlock a battle with the Minor Sage.
The game takes place in the Tower of Sages, with the player battling the way to the top to win the title of Grand Sage (and a rare Titan minion). Min Hero: Tower of Sages is a turn-based RPG where the player raises a group of minions to defeat minions of other characters.
