Old grudges
In a way, I don’t blame the fallen wizard antagonising the world of deckbuilding RPGAncient Enemy. I’m sure I’d be fairly high-strung too if I’d slept in for a few hundred years. Well, the alarm bell’s finally rung. It’s time for the sleepy sod to get up and start facing an army of card-wielding warriors -Ancient Enemytakes the fight to Steam today.
Can’t say I have any enemies myself. None that aren’t vague concepts like “masculinity” or “the pressing threat of mortality” or “mushrooms”, anyway.

Ancient Enemy is a deckbuilding RPG from Grey Alien Games"in the spirit of masterpieces such asDarkest Dungeonand Slay The Spire". Romp around ancient Britain, building up ridiculous spells to batter monsters and ancient wizards, that sorta stuff.
It’s very much in line with the developers' previous work,ShadowhandandRegency Solitaire. For some, that might start ringing alarm bells.
It’s a kind of foreknowledge that lets you make more informed plays and strategies. Combined with faster showdowns, developer Jake Birkett hopes to finally refine a style of play the team’s been dabbling in for a long time,tweeting"the idea is to iterate on what was successful about last two games to hit the market more squarely with this one”
