About Disciple
Peggle meets Vampire Survivors in Disciple, an eldritch horror physics roguelite. Launch your disc into the Abyss, ricochet through swarms of abyssal horrors and forge powerful builds from ancient artefacts. Harvest enough essence and you are reborn to descend again. Fail, and the Abyss devours you too.
Key Features
- Physics-driven Pachinko Roguelite: Launch your disciple toward the Abyss and ricochet through crystals, portals, and swarms of abyssal horrors, nudging its course as it descends.
- Forge Your Build From Holy Artefacts: Combine an arsenal of offensive artefacts to create powerful builds that transform how each descent plays.
- Evolve Your Artefacts Through Arcane Synergies: Pair artefacts with their sacred runes to awaken evolved forms that dramatically amplify their effects, or even change them entirely.
- Feed the Hungering Abyss: Harvest crystallised essence during each descent. Gather enough and be reborn to descend again; fall short, however, and the Abyss takes you instead.
- Choose Your Disciple: Each Disciple brings their own starter artefact and build tree, allowing different approaches to every run.
- Descend Through a Dying World: Journey deeper through withered sanctuaries, frozen ruins, and increasingly warped regions transformed by the arrival of the Abyss.
Story
Long ago, there was a god. A god of gifts, of light. Yet when the Abyss awoke, he hid, saving himself alone. Our world has Withered. Its people, abandoned. And so, the church, clinging to power, has reformed. Not in devotion to the craven god, but in fervour to the Abyss. They repurpose his gifts, shattering the crystals the Withering bore. The essence poured forth stems the deep’s ceaseless advance. Momentarily at least. Descend now, disciple. Slow the insatiable hunger. That your brothers and sisters may endure another day.
