You can add the game to your Steam wishlist.
RITUAL: CROWN OF HORNS is a fast-paced 3D top-down, base defender shooter, using a selection of the best horde-mode mechanics and offering a mature complex plot developed by Draw Distance. The game is a unique cocktail of story-driven base defense game centered around visceral action and desperate survival in the face of overwhelming enemy forces. It’s a serious, demanding, skill-based game that offers dozens of hours of gameplay to master all the levels, skills, and weapons.
Game Pillars:
- Manage resources and time wisely. Note what’s at your disposal and prioritize your actions – sometimes it’s better to wait for the perfect moment to launch a powerful, ultimate skill than find yourself empty-handed when you need it the most.
- Gather the souls of your fallen enemies and use them to purchase helpful gadgets, like a murderous Gatling gun.
- Master every level to obtain souls – you’ll need them to unlock new weapons, skills, and spells.
- Don’t worry if you fall – optimize your selection of guns and inventory and try again, stronger than ever.
- The only game in its genre, set in the unique Weird West environment – a surreal version of the American frontier that mixes typical tropes of Wild West tales with occult horror, as inspired by Alejandro Jodorowsky’s cult movie El Topo or the Deadlands pen and paper RPG setting.
