No Gods of Men
Steam
No Gods of Men thrusts players into a hand-drawn fantasy world teeming with eldritch creatures and ancient gods. The player must rebuild a towering citadel that reaches the heavens while battling waves of gruesome creatures on their path to conquering the realms of gods.

Balance fast-paced metroidvania combat with strategic base building & resource management. Rebuild your citadel and grow a bustling population of disciples. Delegate & prioritize tasks for your disciples while ensuring they are fed and have warm beds to rest.
Then venture into the realms of the old gods, slashing through wave after wave of gruesome, eldritch horrors.

Each run will be different in No Gods of Men. Harness new abilities and test different synergies to become even more powerful as you mow down the minions of the old gods.

Do you have what it takes to break the shackles of the old gods, to build your towering citadel, and be worshipped by countless disciples? Can you conquer realms of gods and become all powerful?


Key Features
Explore a gorgeously gruesome world brought to life with vibrant, hand-drawn artwork, blending Saturday-morning cartoon charm with brooding dark fantasy vibes. Every character and backdrop is teeming with color and personality, making each run a visual treat.
Fight, die, and fight again through hand-crafted 2D dungeons. Experience tight, responsive combat inspired by the likes of Dead Cells, with souls-lite boss fights and no checkpoints – if you fall, you rise anew. Unlock permanent abilities that open up new strategies in classic Metroidvania style.
Between dungeon runs, construct and upgrade your towering citadel. Build dining halls, training facilities, research libraries, castle gardens, and altars that allow your disciples to worship your great achievements. Manage your colony of disciples – feed them, train them, and assign critical roles. The realms of gods demand blood; some disciples may need to be sacrificed on your conquest.
Face off against the twisted lieutenants of the ancient gods and even fight the gods themselves. Each fight will require different strategies and tactics, challenging your reflexes and whether you’ve chosen the right upgrades as you’ve leveled. Triumph, and you’ll earn game-changing rewards – and maybe free a trapped disciple to join your citadel.
Keep an eye on your disciples’ morale and needs. Followers in No Gods of Men are not mindless – they’ll react based on their quality of life. It is critical that each disciple is fed, has clean room & board, and has a responsibility that makes them feel significant toward your cause.
