6 itemsAbout the Game
Gods vs Horrors is a drafting roguelike focusing on synergies, scaling, and positioning. You'll need to adapt to the choices offered and enemy compositions. Recruit and dismiss Gods, reroll your options, increase your devotion level to get access to more powerful Gods, and fight Cosmic Horrors in automated no-RNG battles.
Take synergies and scaling to another level. Each roll could deliver the final piece for your build or enable a crazy change in your composition.
Spend your divine essence to strengthen your army now or use it to increase your devotion level and gain access to more powerful Gods later. Balancing short-term survival with late-game power is key to creating an unstoppable build.
Position your Gods to counter the enemy's formation and composition. Combat is automatic, easy to follow, and deterministic (no RNG). It can be sped up or slowed down as desired.
Create unique builds with 170 gods from 10 mythologies, 90 blessings (in-run buffs), and 30 relics to customize your runs. Unlock options through play, increasing the variety of available choices without power creep (horizontal meta-progression).
Fight against 6 different bosses, each with their cast of allies and environmental effects, requiring you to devise specific strategies to beat them. Once you've mastered them you can play the Unknown Calamity mode to face against a mix of horrors from all campaigns.
Apply difficulty modifiers to challenge your decision-making.
