๐Ÿ”ฅ Echoes of Summer Light

  • A card-fused boss rush roguelike where every death teaches you how to survive the wrath of Celtic gods.
  • The bonfires of Saint John's Eve roar across the night sky. In a forgotten medieval village, flames crackle as villagers call upon ancient Celtic gods — not for salvation, but to drive out a mysterious cartomancer they fear as a witch. That witch is you.
  • In Echoes of Summer Light, you are a powerful mystic wielding arcane cards, fighting for survival in a divine gauntlet of boss battles. Inspired by Celtic mythology and the fiery rites of midsummer festivals, this fast-paced roguelike boss rush challenges your skill, timing, and tactical creativity.
  • Fuse cards into powerful offerings. Burn them to trigger devastating effects. Learn enemy patterns. Adapt, improvise, and push for the highest score as you battle through a relentless gauntlet of six unique Celtic gods, each more merciless than the last.
  • Will you withstand their wrath, or be consumed by the flames of ancient fear?
