Elixirs, Potions, and Mythical Beasts Await
Prepare to immerse in the dark and mysterious world of Hermetica, a roguelite deckbuilder set in the enchanting yet perilous streets of 16th-century Toledo. Developed by the talented team at Red Mountain and published by Abylight Studios, Hermetica blends the ancient art of alchemy with intense card-based combat.
Players begin with a modest set of cards, gradually building and enhancing their deck by mastering alchemy, combining elements to create powerful potions and elixirs. The mission is clear: take down mythical beasts and fearsome enemies lurking around every corner.
What sets Hermetica apart is its unique movement mechanics, inspired by the best tactical games. Each card in the deck comes with a randomly assigned movement pattern, challenging players to think on their feet, dodge traps, and use the terrain to their advantage. The visuals are equally impressive, featuring an art style that pays homage to medieval manuscripts, perfectly capturing the eerie, mystical vibe of old Toledo.
As players traverse the legendary city, they will face a variety of enemies, uncover new levels, and collect a host of unique cards. With its deep integration of alchemy and strategic combat, Hermetica is poised to be an original spin on deckbuilding roguelites flavored with the magic and mystery of the medieval era.
Hermetica is still being developed for PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation, but no release date has been declared. Below is an overview via Steam, screens, and trailer.
