About ANTHEM#9
ANTHEM#9 is an innovative deck-building roguelite that challenges players to strategically combine three types of gems in a puzzle-like system to unleash powerful attacks. The game emphasizes both quick decision-making and long-term strategy, requiring players to construct optimal decks while maximizing their combat efficiency within a time limit.
Set in procedurally generated dungeons, players will gather "Skills" (offensive abilities) and "Breaths" (supportive buffs) to take on formidable enemies. To further enhance strategic depth, players can customize the colors of gems required to activate skills, enabling tailored deck-building and unique combat styles. The satisfaction of executing high-damage combo chains, especially in intense boss battles, is a defining feature of the game.
With its visually striking presentation, deep strategic mechanics, and engaging roguelite elements, ANTHEM#9 promises a compelling experience for fans of the genre. Stay tuned for further updates as we approach launch!
