About
Die. Adapt. Strike back. Heretical is a punishing Rogue-lite Action RPG with Soulslike DNA. You’re not just fighting to survive - you’re evolving through death. Unlock new characters, master devastating abilities, and rewrite your strategy with every failed run as you ascend Sanctora Mountain to face a merciless demigod.
With deep RPG mechanics, engaging narrative, and countless custom character builds, each run offers a unique experience.
Unlockable Characters: Heretical entices the players to unlock new characters, each with a unique set of skills and proficiencies.
Level-Up Mechanics: The streamlined level-up system allows players to quickly choose which skill to acquire or upgrade, providing seamless gameplay.
Custom Character Builds: The variety of the character’s main stats, additional perks, collected items, and acquired skills brings endless customization options.
Randomized Items: Countless different weapons and gear pieces allow for a unique build in every run.
Prophecy Cards: An achievement system, allowing the player to unlock new game mechanics, skills, and items.
Well of Stars: Enables the player to improve their character’s skills and perks further, adding variety to the unique builds.
Boss Fights: To progress through the game, the player needs to defeat multiple bosses, each with its own skill set.
Although the world of Heretical is based on linear progression, no two play runs are ever the same. Through random item drops, a multitude of skill combinations, and different play styles of each of the heroes, Heretical offers countless variations to the way you venture up to the top of Sanctora Mountain.
Sanctora Mountain, the crown jewel of Aelyndor, now exists in isolation, locked away from the rest of the world. Its ruler, the mighty Abidan, presides over the remaining populace with an iron fist, making sure he retains control over the Sanctorite mines - the source of all magic.
At the same time, a mysterious entity stands cursed and bound to a crumbling church, a reminder of the lost faith. There, he offers guidance to heroes who enter this world looking for absolution.
To enter Abidan's realm, first you have to choose one of the heroes and guide them from the Sanctuary of the Forlorn to the gates of Sanctora Manor. On this path, you'll encounter powerful bosses who will test your acquired skills to their very limits.
Should you fail, use that as a lesson for the next encounter, as well as an opportunity to help your hero permanently unlock powerful skills and unique weapons.
