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.
