Gods vs Horrors

Recruiting a pantheon of gods to wage war against Lovecraftian horror is as absurd, and as awesome, as it sounds.

In Gods vs Horrors, your role as the newly appointed Warden of Realms comes with one job: prevent Earth from being swallowed by an eldritch hellstorm. You’ll do this not by brute force, but by building the perfect god squad through rapid-fire drafting, scaling, and positioning. Think Slay the Spire meets Super Auto Pets with a shot of Magic: The Gathering in a divine chalice.

Each round offers a tantalizing choice: do you spend Divine Essence now to supercharge your Greek-Aztec-Norse fusion frontline, or bank it to increase your Devotion level for a shot at stronger recruits later? Gods are plucked from a pool of 170 mythological figures, each with traits that synergize in delightful, break-the-system ways. Every reroll feels like scratching a lottery ticket with the fate of the cosmos on the line.

Fights are fully automated, but don’t confuse that with mindless. Enemy formations, environmental effects, and deterministic combat mean your positioning decisions matter, a lot. Place Thor in the wrong lane, and you might watch your run crumble like a sandcastle before Yog-Sothoth’s psychic scream.

There’s no RNG during combat, which makes each loss feel earned and every win feel surgical. And if the standard six bosses aren’t enough, Unknown Calamity Mode mashes them together into one glorious nightmare blender.

With no ads, a clean $9.99 unlock, and difficulty modifiers for masochists, Gods vs Horrors might be one of the smartest autobattlers this side of Mount Olympus. Just don’t forget to thank the sun god if your comp clicks.
