Our take on ANTHEM#9
The bounce point arrives when gem matching, deck choices, and action order must work inside a limited time window. Players who prefer deliberate, unhurried puzzle turns may stall there, while Extra Mission adds stronger enemies and new restrictions after the standard missions.
What is ANTHEM#9?
ANTHEM#9 is a strategy roguelite that combines match-three gem play, deck construction, and combat.
Players act as agents confronting enemies in randomly generated dungeons. Matching three gem colors activates skills, while choosing the right sequence creates combo chains within a limited time window. Runs provide Attack Skills and Blessings for deck building, and skills can be customized around required gem colors. Rubit changes gem colors, Phannie splits double gems, and Beni consumes gems for shields, healing, and attack effects. Mission 1 through Mission 4 lead to Extra Mission, where successive stages add stronger enemies, restrictions, and exclusive skills.
