Acolyte Of The Altar Launches On Steam

, , , , , , 5

Dive into Acolyte of the Altar, a deck-building roguelike by Black Kite Games, blending strategy with mythical battles. Available now on Steam. What would you get if you combined Magic: The Gathering with Shadow of the Colossus? Something cool? That’s the hope with Acolyte of the Altar, the new deck-building roguelike from Black Kite Games. You’re up against giant monsters simply called “Beasts.” You must chip away at their health by slapping down spells and monster summon cards until they’re defeated. Choose your strategy carefully and mind how much time is left — the longer a Beast engages in battle, the more powerful their attacks become! When you defeat a Beast you can synergize them into new cards to make yourself more powerful…which you’ll need to take on what’s ahead! Bountiful Cards: Over 100 cards, each with detailed art, offering plenty of variety. Become a Beast Slayer: 20 unique Beasts to defeat, all of which have distinct characteristics. De-limb Your Foes: Damage the Beasts enough to remove their limbs and

Card-Based Roguelike RPG Dark Lord Coming To Steam Next Fest

Card-Based Roguelike RPG Dark Lord Coming To Steam Next Fest

, , , , 5

Publisher LTG and developer Undead Fox are working on Dark Lord, a card-based roguelike RPG for the PC. The game will be part of Steam Next Fest later this month. You play as the titular Dark Lord, a ruthless leader determined to cling to power no matter what. You’re currently the ruler of a vast underworld, but that doesn’t mean your subjects will be subservient. Everyone else is just as selfish as you are and will backstab you in a second if it means they gain an advantage. Use your cards to plot your moves and stab them first! Since your decisions affect the progression of the story, each playthough is different. “This game challenges players to test their strategic skills and develop a realm fraught with decisions and consequences,” says Undead Fox. “Players will navigate a world of shady advisors, political intrigues, and unexpected plot twists. Balancing between managing people with an iron fist and surviving through cunning means, they will need to strengthen their boundaries and decide how

Vampire Hunters Launches On Steam Early Access

Vampire Hunters Launches On Steam Early Access

, , , , , 5

If you mixed the roguelite trend with Doom you would get something like Vampire Hunters, the new FPS that just arrived on Steam Early Access. Developed by Brazilian studio Gamecraft and inspired by the indie hit Vampire Survivors, you’ve been dumped in the middle of Transylvania with only your guns to protect you…but what guns they are! You can collect weapons, combine and fuse them, and create completely ridiculous shooters to mow down vampires, demons and the undead. Get as far as you can…and then try to get farther! “If you enjoyed the Steam Next Fest Vampire Hunters demo, you’re in for a treat with our first Early Access release,” says Tiago Zaidan, CEO and lead producer at Gamecraft Studios. “We’ve added a whole second level to the game with an insane boss fight. Two Nightmare levels with crazy fun challenges. Constellations – game modifiers that add some neat twists to the core gameplay – are now enabled. The demo was incredibly well-received by Steam users, journalists, and streamers –

Relic Space Now Available On Steam Early Access

Relic Space Now Available On Steam Early Access

, , , , , 8

London-based studio Fourfold Games has released the early access version of their roguelike strategy RPG Relic Space on Steam. It’s the second science fiction roguelike for the team, who previously released Xenomarine in 2019. The setting is post-apocalyptic, but in space, meaning there’s an entire galaxy in ruins (something REALLY bad must have happened). You’re the commander of the Omega, an elite fleet of space pilots in search of ancient relics from your civilization’s advanced past. Tracking down the relics is crucial to rebuild your society, but there’s a lot that will get in your way. With procedurally generated worlds, every game is different and every corner of the galaxy is unexplored. Tactical turn-based space combat: Use your tactical skills on a hex grid with fast-paced ‘one-tile-per-turn’ mechanics – inspired by traditional roguelikes but with a fluid, modern feel. Deep simulation: Realistic combat mechanics simulate damage to individual ship components. Each weapon, engine or utility item can catch fire, leak power, and acquire many more status effects. You will also

Dark Quest: Board Game Hits Steam Early Access May 4

Dark Quest: Board Game Hits Steam Early Access May 4

, , , , , 0

Dark Quest is not a board game. Well, rather, it is…but it isn’t. It’s a video game with the mechanics of a board game…that calls itself “Board Game.” Try not to get confused. In Dark Quest: Board Game (the video game), you build a party, draw adventure cards, roll dice, and fight monsters to stop the plans of a nameless sorcerer. Maybe that’s him in the official art up above. He doesn’t look that threatening. Like seemingly 87% of indie games that have hit Steam in the past three years, Dark Quest: Board Game (not a board game) is a roguelike. Says Brain Seal, the game’s developer, “you start the game at hero camp where you must create your party and then go on a journey throughout the world by choosing different areas. Choose each area based on your party’s strengths and weaknesses. Upgrade your party, search for hidden equipment, battle ferocious monsters and become a hero!” Since you’re no doubt familiar with both roguelikes and board games, Dark Quest:

Roguebook Reveals Gameplay Trailer

Roguebook Reveals Gameplay Trailer

, , , , , , 0

Publisher NACON and Abrakam Entertainment are bringing a new roguelike deck-building game —  Roguebook — to PCs this summer. Today they published a new trailer demonstrating how their game works. Roguebook was co-designed by Richard Garfield, the creator of Magic: The Gathering. In the enchanted world of Faeria, players choose two heroes (four are available) and form a team to take on the powers of the titular book. The Roguebook isn’t a force for good; it pretty much threatens all of existence. The hook is that no two games will be the same. The Roguebook changes its strategy each time, so the obstacles and enemies you encounter will be different. This is a deck-building game and you battle with cards, but unlike most of them, you’ll want to collect as many cards as possible (instead of developing a streamlined deck). The more cards you have, the more abilities and moves you can use to fight in the Roguebook’s worlds. You can also upgrade some cards by inserting gems to earn

Dungeon Of The Endless: Apogee Now Available On Mobile

Dungeon of the Endless is a roguelike dungeon defense game, originally released by Playdigious for the PC. As of now, there’s a mobile option, which is mostly the same except for one difference.. The story goes that an escape pod full of guards transporting prisoners malfunctioned and crash-landed on the planet Auriga. The bad thing about their situation is that the planet is unexplored — no one knows what to expect. The worse news is, they’re getting some strong hints. The monsters on this planet are bloodthirsty and coming their way in endless waves! To survive, the guards and prisoners will have to work together, both to guard their ship while it’s being repaired and to explore the outer areas for anything that could help them escape sooner. Play long enough and you’ll discover the truth about Auriga — and unlock the ability to play as a pug dog. The mobile version of Dungeon Of The Endless plays just like the original — except you have the ability to play

You have twin-stick shooters, and you have roguelikes….so what would happen if some madman combined the two? You’d get Revita, freshly announced for a PC release later this year. You play as….someone. You have no idea who you are, and since you appear to be about seven years old this could be a problem for you. Or it WOULD be a problem if you WEREN’T the kind of seven-year-old who could handle a powerful blaster! Charge your way up a mysterious clock tower, with the goal of discovering your own identity. Twin-stick shooting means the action never stops…but roguelite means each playthrough is different. You won’t know what to expect from each procedurally generated room, only that you have to shoot it before it shoots you. Level up, upgrade your weapon and find new abilities to progress through the tower. Trade life for power Exchange health for power in fast-paced glass cannon gameplay Unique runs Battle through an almost infinite variety of combat encounters in procedurally generated rooms Endless character
