How to Play

You choose one of three characters, each with a different skill set, and select a chapter to play. Each chapter is a set of one dungeon, one boss, and one story, and players move back and forth between the adventure part and the dungeon part. The dungeon part is a deck-building rogue light system. You advance through the dungeon, strengthen their decks, and challenge the boss at the deepest level. Each dungeon takes about 30 minutes to complete. Even if you fail to conquer a dungeon, you can use the tokens you have acquired to strengthen your abilities, review your strategy, and repeatedly try to defeat the boss (clear the dungeon).

Key Features

• Connect Skills by Combining Gems “Puzzle-Like Battle” – The player attacks the enemy by combining red, blue, and green gems, which are randomly distributed each turn, like a puzzle, to complete a skill recipe (the color and sequence of gems required to use a skill). The deck can contain four skills, which can be used as many times as necessary until all the Gems distributed are used up. The game offers an exhilarating battle experience in which you can see which combination will produce the most skills and which will result in a combo.
• Highly Flexible Deck Construction by “Recipe Arrangement” – By stopping by the skill floor in the middle of a dungeon, players can change the color of the gems in their skill recipes. This “recipe arrangement” system allows players to enjoy a high degree of freedom in deck building, in which “players think and create their own synergy between skills. Combined with the randomness of Rogue Lite and the excitement of exploring a new deck each time you play, ANTHEM#9 offers a new deck-building Rogue Lite playing experience.
