Heretical v0.2.6 - early access

Heretical v0.2.6 - early access


Heretical is a punishing rogue-lite Action RPG with clear Soulslike DNA that turns every death into an opportunity to evolve. You climb the height of Sanctora Mountain, battling brutal bosses and reclaiming magic-infused Sanctorite from the iron-fisted demigod Abidan. Each failed run isn’t a setback but a lesson: you unlock new characters, gain permanent skills and weapons, and refine your strategy for the next attempt.

Core Gameplay and Progression
- Unlockable Characters - Each hero brings a distinct playstyle, from agile melee fighters to spell-casting troubleshooters.
- Streamlined Leveling - A simple yet flexible skill-pick system lets you upgrade or acquire new abilities on the fly.
- Custom Builds and Random Loot - Endless combinations of stats, perks, weapons and gear mean no two runs play the same.
- Prophecy Cards and Well of Stars - Achievement-style cards and a special upgrade hub deepen your build options, rewarding exploration and experimentation.
- Boss Encounters - Six major bosses (so far) stand between you and the summit, each demanding precise timing, pattern recognition and adaptability.

World and Narrative
Sanctora Mountain looms as the last bastion of magic in a world cut off from faith. A mysterious, bound entity in a crumbling church guides your heroes, offering cryptic prophecy as you push from the forlorn sanctuary up to Abidan’s manor gates. The oppressive atmosphere and haunting score underscore every narrow escape and devastating defeat.

Replayability and Roadmap
Heretical’s linear path is layered with randomness: dropped items, branching skill choices and hero-specific tactics dynamically reshape each run. Two major updates (Celestial Weave v0.2 and The Bells Toll v0.3) have already expanded enemies, abilities and balance. Looking ahead, the Mines of Sanctora update (Q3 2025) promises a new character, a fresh region and sweeping combat improvements.

Verdict
If you crave a tough but fair challenge, meaningful progression through permadeath and near-endless build variety, Heretical delivers. Its blend of rogue-lite systems with deep RPG mechanics and a bleak, immersive world keeps every climb up Sanctora Mountain both brutal and rewarding.
