Our take on Sacrifice

The defining structure is a real-time strategy game that replaces conventional resource gathering with mana and captured souls, while god allegiance determines the spells available.

What is Sacrifice?

Sacrifice is a real-time strategy game centered on combat rather than gathering materials.

Mana and souls serve as its two resources: mana fuels spellcasting, while captured enemy souls provide additional units. Players choose which gods to support, changing the spells available to them. Battles also include a sacrifice mechanic, in which an allied unit can be offered at an enemy altar to banish that opponent.

How Sacrifice plays

01Combat-focused strategy
The game puts real-time fighting at the center instead of resource-gathering activities.
02Mana and souls
Mana supports spell use, while taking enemy souls supplies additional units.
03God allegiance
Supporting different gods changes the selection of spells available during play.
04Altar sacrifices
An allied unit can be offered at an enemy altar to banish that opponent.
