[San Diego, CA – March 25th, 2024] – Black Kite Games has officially released Acolyte of the Altar, a new roguelike deckbuilder inspired by Magic: The Gathering and Shadow of the Colossus. Take advantage of card synergies and defeat the game’s many Beasts before they become enraged. With over 100 cards available, use your spells and creatures to survive each deadly encounter in Acolyte of the Altar.
Acolyte of the Altar expands on the genre and comes with a twist: The colossal Beasts you face become enraged as battles go on. The longer they live, the more powerful they become. Once the Beasts reach their full potential, they can consume your creatures, counterattack your spells, and are generally much more difficult to take down. Carve profane Gifts from these behemoths and grow stronger to serve your Patron! But serve them to what end?
Variety and strategy are key components to Acolyte of the Altar. Each round, you encounter a random Beast, meaning no two runs are the same. Build your deck to adapt to the bosses and learn to bring them down using the plethora of cards you have at your disposal.

With its inclusion of full creature combat and synergies – a rare addition among other single-player deckbuilders – Acolyte of the Altar encourages strategic and dynamic play. Summon an army of creatures with their own health and attack stats, capable of interacting with each other and the Beasts you face in a variety of ways. Acolyte’s strong sense of atmosphere will surely sink its hooks into deckbuilder fans, thanks to its gorgeous art and captivating animations, bolstering the immersion and tension.
