Hunt Colossal Beasts in Roguelike Deck-Builder Acolyte of the Altar
Black Kite Games is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Acolyte of the Altar, an exhilarating dark-fantasy card-based boss rush game for PC via Steam. Gamers can get a taste of the action right now with a free demo available on Steam.
In Acolyte of the Altar, players step into the shoes of an Acolyte on a quest to hunt down colossal Beasts that roam the game's dark and mysterious world. These Beasts, initially docile, possess incredible power and are sought after as offerings to Patron gods. Your mission: progress through randomly generated floors and utilize an extensive array of cards to defeat these formidable foes.
However, there's a twist that adds a layer of urgency to the battles. As combat with the Beasts unfolds, they become increasingly enraged and powerful. To succeed, players must act swiftly, preventing the Beasts from unleashing their full potential and wreaking havoc.
As you journey through the game, you'll need to skillfully manage your mana pool, summon formidable creatures, and employ strategic card combinations to efficiently take down the Beasts. Victorious battles yield rewards, including unlocking new Gifts such as multicasting spells and unique companions like a jellyfish that can shock your adversaries.
Acolyte of the Altar promises a dynamic and ever-changing gaming experience. With each playthrough, you'll encounter different Beasts, ensuring that no two runs are alike. Adapt your deck to confront various bosses and learn to conquer them using the diverse range of cards at your disposal.
One of the standout features of the game is its focus on creature combat and synergies, a rarity in single-player deck-building games. Build an army of creatures, each with distinct health and attack stats, and watch them interact with each other and your opponents, offering more strategic depth than other games in the genre.
Acolyte of the Altar Key Features:
Over 100 cards with detailed art and diverse effects.
Face off against 20 unique Beasts, each with distinct characteristics.
De-limb the Beasts to weaken them before they become enraged.
Survive randomly generated floors while building your deck.
Unlock new Gifts by offering Beasts' body parts to the Patron.
