Description

Ancient Enemy is a strategic RPG card game in which you make interesting tactical decisions as you battle distorted enemies and overcome challenging puzzles. Face a horde of deadly enemies, each one emerging from a world in which evil has already triumphed. You must not only endure, but also rebuild your powers to vanquish evil and fight one last duel against your monstrous nemesis!

Travel through a scarred landscape with dozens of atmospheric levels, draw power from the Earth, and struggle for the soul of the world itself. Test your skills against a host of foes in unique solitaire-style turn-based combat!


  • Innovative, strategic, turn-based combat.
  • Blast the Enemy's monstrous lieutenants with a satisfying range of spells and abilities.
  • Gather powers from the shattered landscape to heal your mind and enhance your magic.
  • Choose your own path through a dark, folkloric story.
  • Three difficulty settings ranging from relaxed to nightmare.
  • Duel your way to the citadel, and defeat your foe once and for all!


Ancient Enemy is the latest iteration of inventive card game design from Grey Alien Games, this time in collaboration with famed Scottish game artist Jen Pattison, and renowned games designer Jim Rossignol.

Ancient Enemy is an atmospheric turn-based adventure in the spirit of masterpieces such as Darkest Dungeon and Slay The Spire!

boring

The main mechanic is aweful. Picking up cards 1 higher or lower is annoying. And you're going to do that for the rest of the game. Just do a living card game for fs.

Game will not load

I must give this game 0 stars, since I cannot even get it to load. I have tried downloading it via the GOG interface as well as by using the offline installers. Whenever I try and load it, I get an error message stating "Starting in Windowed mode due to incorrect shutdown." Then, the game starts to open a white / blank window in the middle of the screen and crashes about 5 seconds later. I have tried to navigate to the support section of this website, but the game is inexplicably not searchable, so there is no way for me to write my concerns or request a support ticket.

RNG

If I must repeat first boss 10 times only because I get totally unplayable RNG then I just uninstall. Concept is good but seriously it's TUTORIAL and I can't pass it because of random poop of cards on table lol

Really? You must be joking...

Game states: "real life isn't as fun" So bunch of no-life losers think their game is more fun than real life... [instant unistall]. Guess your games is NOT funnier than my life.
