What is ANTHEM
It's a gem-matching roguelite where you use gems to activate your skills, chain them together to pull off massive combos and dish out massive damage to ultimately make your way to the deepest part of the dungeon. But it's not just about big damage numbers; there's real strategy underneath all that chaos, and figuring out how to balance both is what makes it click. We think you're gonna love it.
We've got a pinned thread for bug reports and feedback! If something's broken or you've got thoughts to share, let us know — it genuinely helps us make the game better.
💥 Launch Event: Combo Damage Challenge
Let's celebrate with a challenge — who can pull off the biggest combo damage in ANTHEM#9?

About Steam Next Fest Feedback
Thank you so much to everyone who played and wrote reviews during Steam Next Fest last October. We received many comments like "Landing combos feels exhilarating and satisfying!", "The strategic depth is amazing!", and "The music and graphics are wonderful!" - these have been incredibly encouraging for our development team!
At the same time, we also received the following feedback:
The UI is complex and some rules are difficult to understand
Performance issues and pacing problems affect replayability
Questions about skill and ability balance
We've taken your feedback seriously and have been working on improvements for the full release.
Improvements and New Features in the Full Version
■ New Battle UI - A More Intuitive and Comfortable Play Experience We've improved the UI complexity pointed out in the demo version, repeatedly adjusting how to make it clearer and easier to read. What do you think of the battle screen we're revealing today? The UI has been completely redesigned to be more stylish and understandable. We hope this allows everyone to play more intuitively. We'll continue making adjustments, so please share your feedback!
■ High-Difficulty Endgame Content "Extra Mission"
Introducing “Extra Mission”, a high-difficulty challenge mode packed with enemies for players looking to push their skills to the limit. This will be the prime activity, acting as an endgame for players and putting their decks to the test.
The mode unlocks after you clear the main campaign (Missions 1–4). Starting with Extra-1, each stage you clear unlocks the next, but with a twist. Enemies will be stronger, and new restrictions make each run tougher than the last.
To help you face the gauntlet, Extra Missions include exclusive charms and abilities that are only available in this mode. Combined with the expanded build variety since the demo, there’s now even more room for strategy, combos, and crazy synergies.
If you’ve been waiting for the ultimate challenge, this is it.
We're also continuously adjusting skill and ability balance, game pacing, and other aspects based on your feedback for the full release. We'll keep refining everything until the very last moment to ensure you have the best experience possible!
Creator Talk Session Announcement
On Friday, January 30th, 2026 at 8:00 PM (JST), we'll be hosting a talk session with creator koeda on the official『ANTHEM#9』Discord server! We'll share exclusive behind-the-scenes development stories and answer questions from users. The session will be simultaneously broadcast in Japanese and English, so please join us!
