Description
Ancient Enemy is a deep, tactical RPG card game that challenges you to make meaningful strategic choices as you clash with twisted foes and conquer demanding puzzles. Stand against a relentless tide of deadly adversaries, each spawned from a world already consumed by darkness. Your mission goes beyond mere survival — you must reclaim your strength, restore your abilities, and ultimately face your terrifying nemesis in one climactic final showdown!
Journey across a ravaged world filled with dozens of richly atmospheric levels, harness the raw power of the Earth itself, and wage war for the very soul of existence. Put your mastery to the test against countless enemies in a distinctive solitaire-inspired, turn-based combat system!
- Inventive, deeply strategic turn-based combat mechanics.
- Unleash a rewarding arsenal of spells and abilities against the Enemy's grotesque lieutenants.
- Scavenge powers from the broken wasteland to restore your mind and amplify your magical prowess.
- Forge your own path through a haunting, folklore-driven narrative.
- Three distinct difficulty settings spanning from casual to nightmare mode.
- Battle your way to the citadel and bring your ancient enemy to their final defeat!
Ancient Enemy represents the newest evolution of boundary-pushing card game design from Grey Alien Games, crafted this time in partnership with celebrated Scottish game artist Jen Pattison and acclaimed games designer Jim Rossignol.
Ancient Enemy delivers a gripping, atmospheric turn-based adventure cut from the same cloth as celebrated titles such as Darkest Dungeon and Slay The Spire!

Ancient Enemy has an interesting mix of solitaire-style combat and dark fantasy presentation, but it never fully clicked with me. The card mechanics are decent enough and there’s some strategy in managing combos and

Great game, really fun. Played nonstop over 2 days. took about 12-13 hours total, and got all the achievements in one playthrough. Definitely worth buying, especially if you liked their other card battler, Shadowhand.

I like card battler games. Some of them can be very addictive. But this one is not. It's very shallow. The presentation, music, sound effects, and story don't mesh with each other at all. It's like five different things

This game reminds me of Ironcast, turning a classic puzzle game into tactical combat. However, I miss the depth and excitement I felt with Ironcast. The core gameplay is just as dull as the original pyramid card game.
