Gods vs Horrors lets you take on cosmic creatures using mythological gods across a roguelike card battler, out now
It's not easy being the Warden of Realms
- Recruit mythological gods and strategise your plan of attack
- Inspired by Slay the Spire and Super Auto Pets
- Free demo with a single purchase to unlock
Oriol Cosp has officially launched Gods vs Horrors, a new single-player roguelike that takes inspiration from Slay the Spire and Super Auto Pets combined. The card autobattler tasks you with building the right synergies for your gods so you can take on all manner of atrocities as the new Warden of Realms. The fate of the world rests in your hands, essentially - no pressure, right?
In Gods vs Horrors, you can look forward to strategising the most efficient positioning for the gods you recruit, buffing them up across different mythologies while trying to boost your Devotion level so you can recruit even more gods in the process.
There's an element of short-term versus long-term benefits here - will you spend Divine Essence to boost your powers, or save it for later to add to your Devotion level instead?
Based on the footage available online, it does seem to take inspiration from Hearthstone's Battlegrounds mode with a bit of Balatro thrown into the mix, with an interesting blend of 170 gods and a variety of relics to tinker around with. The so-called "horrors" are also pretty horrific, it seems - not to mention there are six different bosses with their own environmental effects to contend with. Nobody said saving the world would be easy.

In the meantime, if you're eager to join in on all the fun, you can do so by checking out Gods vs Horrors on the App Store and on Google Play. It's free-to-play for the demo with no ads, so you can give it a go first before deciding if it's your cup of tea. A single purchase unlocks the whole thing at $9.99 a pop or your local equivalent.
