What is Hunt the Pale Gods?
This single-player, 2D tactical roguelike combines deck-building with turn-based battles against Lovecraftian monsters. During each procedurally generated run, you choose paths, add cards and curios, position your character to dodge attacks and control altars, and stagger enemies before facing bosses associated with five aspects of the Pale Gods.
For you if...
- +you enjoy building card combos across procedural runs
- +you want positioning and terrain to matter in card battles
- +you prefer single-player strategy with Lovecraftian themes
Not for you if...
- −you dislike restarting and rebuilding between roguelite runs
- −you want card combat without movement or positioning
- −you only want multiplayer card battles
