Games Like Torch of Shadows

Torch of Shadows is a roguelite where balance is not optional; it is survival. You are the last guardian of an ancient universe that imprisons other guardians within itself. If the altar collapses, Light and Darkness will annihilate each other, leaving only the Void. To prevent that fate, you must reclaim the shattered regions, cleanse corrupted souls, and rebuild the altar piece by piece.
