Unlocking the Secrets of the Past: Hermetica’s Journey Begins
In a unique blend of history and fantasy, Abylight Studios, in collaboration with Red Mountain, unveils Hermetica, a game that’s already stirring the cauldron of anticipation as DeVuego’s most awaited title for 2024. This deckbuilder roguelite, steeped in the mystic practices of alchemy, transports players to the enchanting streets of Sixteenth Century Toledo, offering a gameplay experience that’s as rich in lore as it is in strategy.
Crafting Victory: The Alchemical Art of Deckbuilding
Hermetica challenges players to master the ancient art of alchemy, not just through lore but as a core mechanic of gameplay. Starting with a basic set of cards, players are thrust into the role of an alchemist whose power grows with every card drawn. The goal? To construct the ultimate deck. But there’s a twist – upgrading cards isn’t as simple as collecting them. It demands engaging with a deep, alchemical system where elements and materials are transmuted into potent potions and elixirs, enhancing cards and opening new pathways to victory.
Tactical Maneuvers: Mastering the Battlefield
The game’s movement mechanics draw inspiration from the best tactical games, introducing a layer of strategy that extends beyond mere deck construction. Each card comes with its own unique movement pattern, compelling players to think several steps ahead. Avoiding traps and positioning to ambush foes or utilize terrain to one’s advantage becomes as crucial to victory as the spells and summons in one’s deck.
A World Reimagined: Toledo Like Never Seen Before
Set against the backdrop of Sixteenth Century Toledo, Hermetica is not just a game but a portal to another time. The art, inspired by medieval codices, breathes life into this historical setting, ensuring that each journey through the game is not just a battle for survival but a tour through a city steeped in legend. With ever-changing levels, enemies, and cards, no two adventures are the same, inviting players to return to its mystical world again and again.
