Join a gothic battle where Good confronts Evil using roguelike deckbuilding mechanics. Play as either side, invading Alaric's Castle, or as Alaric himself defending against the invading heroes!
Players can choose between two vastly different gameplay experiences. In the Deliverance mode, you take on the role of a hero tasked with invading Alaric's castle and defeating the tyrant. Conversely, the Reign mode allows you to play as Alaric himself, defending his castle against the invading heroes.
The Deliverance mode follows a classic roguelike deck-building structure. You must carefully construct your deck, managing your resources as you navigate through dangerous floors filled with enemies. Each floor culminates in a boss battle that tests your strategic thinking and deck synergies. Key features include: Class Selection, Deck Building, Resource Management, Boss Battles, and Difficulty Scaling.
In the Reign mode, you take control of Alaric and must defend his castle from the invading heroes. The gameplay revolves around an auto-battler/tower defense style, where you strategically place and upgrade your minions across three different floors (lanes) to fend off the advancing heroes. Key features include: Faction Bonding, Minion Deployment, Spell Casting, Boss Battles, and Difficulty Scaling.
Players consistently praise the game's two distinct modes, highlighting the unique and engaging gameplay in both the Deliverance and Reign experiences. Reviewers appreciate the depth and replayability offered by the interconnected game modes, which cater to both newcomers and veteran fans of the genre. The game's ability to balance familiarity with original twists is also widely commended, as players find the gameplay to be both accessible and challenging. Additionally, the game's gothic aesthetics and atmosphere are frequently praised, with reviewers highlighting the "top-notch" art, music, and overall visual presentation.
