ANANKE: Roguelike AutoBattler

Ananke blends the tactical depth of an auto-battler with the dynamic choices of a roguelike.

• Build a powerful squad and defeat the enemies that stand in your way.

The Draft: Choose units that fit your strategy each round. Combining distinct roles—tanks, DPS, and healers—is the first step to victory.

Synergies: Combine units of the same origin to unlock powerful faction bonuses. Pair a Mage and Barbarian under the 'Human' synergy for devastating attack power, or field a Crab and Turtle under the 'Water' synergy to turn the tide with relentless health regeneration.

• Win battles and complete quests! Acquire powerful relics and items to forge an even stronger squad.

Relics: The core of your progression, granting powerful buffs to your entire team. Your relic choices dictate your build's direction and the flow of combat, so choose wisely!

Equipment: Gear up your core units with powerful items. Equip a magic sword to sweep enemies away with lightning strikes, or equip a shield to absorb incoming damage and hold the frontline.

Quests: Take on unique missions during your run. From simple tasks like 'Defeat 2 Enemies' to demanding challenges like 'Collect 500 Gold,' earn powerful rewards—such as relics, items, and permanent upgrades—to strengthen your build.

• Every decision shapes your run. Learn from past defeats and chart your path forward.

The Map: Navigate your course through randomly generated nodes. Risk dangerous Elite battles for greater rewards, or roll the dice on unknown events that introduce entirely new scenarios.

Events: Unique encounters along your journey act as a double-edged sword. They can grant valuable blessings—or exact a heavy toll.

Strategy: From unit positioning to route planning, every decision is in your hands. Adapt, optimize, and reclaim the fallen kingdom!

ANANKE is currently in active development, targeting a Steam Playtest in Q3 2026.
