Four Gods sleep under the Kingdoms of Men…harness their power!
It is you who know the truth of this world. You are one of the chosen few who know of the four Ancient Gods – infinite beings forgotten by history. Each god’s Sphere of Influence still permeates this world -- all living things are subconsciously bound to one of them. Tapping into the Spheres of Influence, you summon and command the might of enormous monsters, epic heroes and arcane dragons to defeat your enemies!
Each duel brings new challenges, with the huge amount of cards available, you’ll always be up against strategies that push the limits of Alteil’s various gameplay mechanics – such as the day/night cycle and its effects on undead and lycanthropes, the Soul Card system that lets each player fine tune their Life Point total to better compliment rush or combo play styles, and the Revival system that turns extra copies of a unit in the deck into ‘extra lives’ for that unit on the field. Every match also yields exciting treasure drops, to help you build a vast card collection or just fine-tune and perfect your favorite decks!
In addition to completing a successful Kickstarter and presenting at the Indie Megabooth at PAX East 2014, we’ve been lucky enough to get some great press for Alteil: Horizons. Here’s what they’re saying:- Kotaku praised the team of artists, saying “Alteil: Horizons is actually an all-stars kind of ensemble title.”
- MMO Attack focused on the game, saying “Horizons combines what players love from their favorite trading card games with RPG elements”
- Massively.joystiq names Alteil a “contender in the ring” in the card combat genre against HEX and Hearthstone.
- They also put Alteil at the top of their 2013 summer list of crowd-funding projects to watch!
- The Examiner noted, what “sets this game apart from its rivals is the amount and quality of the game’s art.”
- JStationX calls Alteil Horizons “the next best card-based RPG.”

"Alteil: Horizons" is an abandoned P2W mobile app tier CCG/deckbuilder infested with a mobile app style cash shop. There was also a HUGE amount of P2W DLC... real nasty monetization. The game is apparently completely closed and this client for it is just polluting Steam.2 found this helpful
Alteil: Horizons is a bold and somewhat unconventional take on the digital card game formula, blending tactical battlefield positioning with the strategic depth of deck construction. Developed by Apocoplay LLC, Ludeme Games, and Coreedge Inc., it doesn’t try to compete directly with faster, more accessible card games. Instead, it carves out its own identity by emphasizing planning, foresight, and layered mechanics that reward careful thinking over quick reactions. What immediately sets the game apart is its rejection of the traditional draw system. Rather than relying on randomness to determine which cards you can play, Alteil: Horizons gives players full access to their deck from the start, shifting the focus entirely onto resource management and timing. This design fundamentally changes how matches unfold. Every decision feels intentional, and success depends less on luck and more on how well you understand your deck and anticipate your opponent’s moves. The addition of a grid-based battlefield reinforces this approach, introducing spatial strategy into what would otherwise be a standard card game. Positioning becomes just as important as card choice, turning each match into a s…
Игра «Alteil: Horizons» предлагает атмосферный фэнтези-мир с глубоким сюжетом и уникальной механикой управления временем. Графика приятная, но не шедевр, а звуковое сопровождение — отдельный плюс. Бой захватывающий, но сложность иногда мешает погрузиться. Минус — недостаток контента и технические сбои. Для любителей арпеггия и исследований — отличный выбор, но не для массового аудитория.
