About this gameFull description from Steam
Match three colors of gems to form massive combos! Match gems to activate skills and destroy foes with a flurry of combos! Creating a deck that unleashes maximum damage and triggers high-speed combos within a limited time window is the key to victory. ANTHEM#9 delivers strategic depth and a kinetic rush as a Gem-Match roguelite experience that’s both cerebral and thrilling. Higher the combo, the greater the thrill of battle! Match three colors of gems like in a match 3 puzzle style game to activate powerful skills. Chain combos to ramp up damage—and satisfaction. Choose the optimal order to trigger explosive sequences and crush bosses with style! Trust your instincts and aim for the ultimate deck! In randomly generated dungeons, collect Attack Skills and "Blessings", and build your deck that tips the scale of battle in your favor.. Customize which colored gems your skills require, fine-tune your strategy, and take down formidable foes as you climb deeper into the dungeon. High-Difficulty Endgame Content Awaits! Clear the standard modes "Mission 1" through "Mission 4" to unlock the high-difficulty mode "Extra Mission"! Complete "Extra-1" to unlock "Extra-2," and with each increasing number, enemy stats are drastically enhanced and new restrictions are imposed on players to make clearing even more challenging. Exclusive skills and abilities that only appear here provide exceptional replay value! Will you be able to clear it all...!? Anthem#9 is an international secret organization that seeks to maintain global stability through balance and harmony. Play as an agent of Anthem#9 and purge those who threaten the world’s balance. Characters Rubit Our protagonist. An agent of Anthem#9. Her cunning combat style utilizes a dagger and poison skills. Rubit’s specialty lies in adaptability—by spending AP, she can change the color of her gems on the fly. Even when the board isn’t in her favor, she can recover from tight situations and keep the combos flowing. Phannie A hedonistic gambler. Uses a gun for his flashy and bold fighting style. He can spend AP to split double gems. Increasing his total gems synergizes perfectly with skills that trigger multiple times! With a high-risk high-reward approach, he can unleash massive combos that no other character could! Beni A martial artist who fights for the pride of her people. She's a self-proclaimed hero! She can use AP to consume gems in exchange for Shield, healing, Attack buffs, and more. Her fighting style involves packing a lot into a single hit, and she can stack buffs to accomplish that or to give herself ironclad defense. Swearing to punish evil, she uses her overwhelming power to pursue justice! Profile A game creator who began working in 2021. Has no experience in the industry and isn’t a programmer. But unable to give up on his dreams of game development, he picked up a beginner's guide past the age of thirty and worked tirelessly. He didn’t know left from right, but he had the passion to keep going. He was also proactive about presenting at events. His debut game, Anthem#9, received the grand prize in the Shueisha Game Creators Camp Game BBQ vol.2 No Demo Division.
