Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.29/day in the week to Aug 14 → 2/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Die. Adapt. Strike back. Heretical is a punishing Rogue-lite Action RPG with Soulslike DNA. You’re not just fighting to survive - you’re evolving through death. Unlock new characters, master devastating abilities, and rewrite your strategy with every failed run as you ascend Sanctora Mountain to face a merciless demigod.
With deep RPG mechanics, engaging narrative, and countless custom character builds, each run offers a unique experience.
Unlockable Characters: Heretical entices the players to unlock new characters, each with a unique set of skills and proficiencies.
Level-Up Mechanics: The streamlined level-up system allows players to quickly choose which skill to acquire or upgrade, providing seamless gameplay.
Custom Character Builds: The variety of the character’s main stats, additional perks, collected items, and acquired skills brings endless customization options.
Randomized Items: Countless different weapons and gear pieces allow for a unique build in every run.
Prophecy Cards: An achievement system, allowing the player to unlock new game mechanics, skills, and items.
Well of Stars: Enables the player to improve their character’s skills and perks further, adding variety to the unique builds.
Boss Fights: To progress through the game, the player needs to defeat multiple bosses, each with its own skill set.
Although the world of Heretical is based on linear progression, no two play runs are ever the same. Through random item drops, a multitude of skill combinations, and different play styles of each of the heroes, Heretical offers countless variations to the way you venture up to the top of Sanctora Mountain.
Sanctora Mountain, the crown jewel of Aelyndor, now exists in isolation, locked away from the rest of the world. Its ruler, the mighty Abidan, presides over the remaining populace with an iron fist, making sure he retains control over the Sanctorite mines - the source of all magic.
At the same time, a mysterious entity stands cursed and bound to a crumbling church, a reminder of the lost faith. There, he offers guidance to heroes who enter this world looking for absolution.
To enter Abidan's realm, first you have to choose one of the heroes and guide them from the Sanctuary of the Forlorn to the gates of Sanctora Manor. On this path, you'll encounter powerful bosses who will test your acquired skills to their very limits.
Should you fail, use that as a lesson for the next encounter, as well as an opportunity to help your hero permanently unlock powerful skills and unique weapons.

It's quite sad the devs abandoned this. I was looking forward to see the final result, I REALLY enjoyed it. Idk, don't get it if it's not on a huge sale.
Jogo divertido e com conteúdo o suficiente para ter uma experiência legal mesmo estando em Early Access. O jogo na prática não foi abandonado mesmo não tendo noticias a mais de 6 meses do desenvolvedor e do progresso da atualização que deveria ter sido lançada ano passado, entretanto semana passada o desenvolvedor lançou uma versão beta testando novo conteúdo e já possuindo o mapa da nova zona (sem inimigos e nem nada ainda, apenas o mapa). Pelo que eu fiquei sabendo, esse jogo é desenvolvido apenas por uma pessoa e teve problemas com uma empresa que era para cuidar da parte da comunicação. Como o desenvolvedor não tem experiência com isso, acaba ficando realmente apenas na parte de desenvolvimento e sem o auxilio da empresa que foi contrata para realizar tal serviço. Se caso estiver em promoção, recomendo, é um roguelike bem divertido com uma mecânica de replay interessante. Cada run permite você liberar novos atalhos, quests e coisas diferentes ao redor do mapa para runs posteriores.

制作组已经跑路了,千万别买别买别买别买!!!!
Простенький и забавный рогалик, начинается немного туго, но к 5-6 попытке вы скорее всего соберете машину смерти которая будет просто вычищать все на своем пути. Есть различные "секретики" и потайные пути, неплохой набор персонажей. Единственное что раздражает это камера и слишком уж упрощенная графика. Буду ждать развития проекта.
An sich ein sehr geiles Roguelike - viele abwechslungsreiche Charaktere und Builds, ansprechende Map, Gegner und Bosse. Der Artstyle gefällt und es spielt sich sehr rund. Bugs habe ich bisher wenige gefunden. Aber.... Das Game ist jetzt seit ca. 2 Jahren draußen und seit dem Release hat sich viel zu wenig getan. Die Roadmap war schon nicht besonders ambitioniert, wurde trotzdem bei weitem nicht eingehalten. Als konkretes Beispiel: Der Mapteil "The mines" wurde schon für early 2025 angekündigt und jetzt kam per Update im Juni 2026 die Mitteilung, dass eben dieser Mapteil jetzt als Datensatz vorhanden sei, aber noch unspielbar ist.... Für mich wirkt es eher wie eine early-access-leiche und gemessen an meiner Erfahrung mit EA-Titeln glaube ich nicht mehr daran, dass sich hier noch viel tun wird.... sehr schade
Прошел через боль и слезы, к сожалению пришлось делать бэкапы, сейчас объясню почему..... Игра в целом понравилась, залип. Примерно с середины игры начинаются страдания, так как прокачка практически останавливается, а вот опасность врагов - продолжает расти. Навков всего 5 и качаются они до 5го уровня, соответственно на 25 уровне тебе уже нечего качать, а что то ценное и подходящее под билд уже очень редко выпадает. И тут начинается жесткий дисбаланс, который только растет к концу игры. Возможно конечно я не понял как строить билд и добиваться хорошего урона....но было много попыток и анализа, да и опыт в подобных играх есть. В игре есть некоторое количество багов которые я активно использовал, так как подругому тупо никак. Так же в конце очень много жестких стычек ( особенно с скелетами ) приходилось прям план продумывать как им навалить. И тут без бэкапов тупо никак. Вообщем жаль что игру уже давно не поддерживают, потому что в ней есть потенциал и нужно доработать баланс
Game may been abandoned, but it exellent. Recomment on sale.
I really enjoy what they did here
В целом игра прикольная, графика не вау конечно но атмосферу дарк-фентази передает, разные персонажи со своими фишками, есть вариативность в билдах, через луки, двуручники, щиты\парирование, барьеры, ауры, магия, созвездия, навыки разнообразные. Только вот шмотка на восстановление хп + быстрые атаки(навыков) = имба, нужно фиксить. Единственный существенный минус это то что в рогалике только 1 локация которая никак не меняется и та короткая довольно таки(( ну и еще микро-минус иногда в текстурах каких то застреваешь а-ля фонарный столб или типо того. HERETICAL > dead cells.
재밌게 했습니다만 하나씩 예언을 깨나가다가 부식폭탄가지고 교장 잡는 예언을 깼더니 부식폭탄+ 가 생기는게 아니라 아예 부식폭탄 스킬이 사라져 버렸어요 ㅠㅠ 정출되고 들어오면 수정되어 있겠죠?
