The Heart of Anathema

The Heart of Anathema is a real-time strategy and card-based combat game that combines management, battles, and a fantasy narrative set in a dark forest full of mysteries. Explore its depths in search of ancient relics capable of granting forbidden power, and prevent them from falling into the hands of rival factions you must fight to restore peace to the kingdom.
In each run, you must build your settlement using unique units, buildings, and abilities. As you progress, you create synergies, take risks, and engage in real-time battles where positioning, timing, and strategy are key. Mastery of the game does not depend on reflexes, but on reading the battlefield, adapting to the unexpected, and making the most of every card before the forest claims its price.

Real-time battles where planning and adaptability are key.

Enemies attack, but they do not always follow the same patterns. Establish a long-term strategy capable of defending against their growing power.

Face different enemies with varying strategies.

Each round, an enemy with different units attacks. Stay flexible to build a strategy capable of repelling them all.

Same cards, different strategies

Obtain cards from the decks you defeat to expand your combat options. After finishing a round against an enemy, several cards appear as possible rewards—most from your own deck, others from your opponents'. Use this advantage to create synergies beyond the limits of your own deck.

Advance through the forest

Each victory in a run unlocks a new area to fight in, bringing you ever closer to the heart of the forest.

Discover the Story of the World

Enter the cursed forest of Anathema where, many years ago, an empire once ruled, its power sustained by forbidden relics. No one remembers how that kingdom fell, but its mistakes still wander among twisted roots and monstrous specters.
Today, a fractured kingdom sends its rival factions—arcane scholars, ambitious nobles, and devout orders—to claim that lost legacy, while the forest responds with corruption, aberrant creatures, and ancient exiled races that long to reclaim what was taken from them. Each relic offers power… and a hidden price. In Anathema, the struggle is not only to survive, but to decide which vision of the world will rise from its ashes.
The forest watches in silence. The relics lie forgotten for centuries. The factions prepare for war. Add The Heart of Anathema to your wishlist and prepare to venture into its heart, where every decision brings you one step closer to the kingdom’s glory… or its downfall.
