Torch of Shadows is a fast-paced roguelite where Light and Dark clash endlessly. Defend the temple, counter enemies with opposing powers, and preserve the fragile balance before the void consumes all.
A fast, skill-based roguelite where the wrong choice doesn’t just slow you down, it kills your run. Fight through relentless waves, react instantly, and build around two opposing forces that must be used together. Ignore one side, and the other overwhelms you.
Torch of Shadows is the debut game from Acthera Studios, a two-person indie team. Every pixel is hand-drawn. Every system has been rebuilt more times than we want to admit.
