About Deified
Deified is a turn‑based tactical roguelite where relics drive every decision. Players collect relic fragments, restore them into powerful artifacts, and arrange them in slots that grant both bonuses and drawbacks. The game rewards strategic planning over resource pools, offering no mana, action points, or cooldowns.
Guided by Sator, you confront seven cursed Lords, explore a morally complex world, and expand your options through skill trees and new rooms. Each run is self‑paced, with save‑anytime support and Steam Cloud support, available on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
01 / THE GUIDE
Relic Restoration
Relics are assembled from multiple identical fragments, turning scattered pieces into potent artifacts. Restoring a relic not only activates its power but also enables synergies when you collect other relics of the same type.
Each restored relic occupies a slot, influencing your strategy through its unique bonus. The process encourages players to seek matching fragments to maximize the impact of their collection.
- Prioritize gathering identical fragments early to unlock stronger relics sooner.
- Balance the number of restored relics with available slots to avoid overcommitting to a single synergy.

Turn‑Based Battles
Combat unfolds in tactical, turn‑based encounters where every decision matters. There are no mana pools, action points, or cooldown timers, so each turn you can use any available ability.
Enemy bosses introduce unique curses that can overturn your plans, demanding adaptable tactics and careful preparation before each fight.
- Use the lack of cooldowns to experiment with different ability combos each turn.
- Watch for boss curses early to adjust your positioning and relic usage.
03 / THE GUIDE
Slot Management
Every relic must be placed in a slot, each providing a distinct bonus and a corresponding drawback. This dual nature forces players to weigh benefits against penalties.
Choosing slots wisely shapes your overall playstyle, as the drawbacks can significantly affect how you approach encounters.
- Match slot drawbacks with your preferred combat approach to minimize negative impact.
- Try different slot combinations to see how they affect your strategy.
04 / THE GUIDE
Boss Curses
Each of the seven Lords you must defeat carries a unique curse that can dramatically alter your battle plan. These curses add an extra layer of difficulty and require flexible tactics.
Understanding each curse’s effect is key to overcoming the boss and progressing further in the roguelite run.
- Observe the curse’s pattern in the first few turns to adapt quickly.
- Choose relics that fit your strategy before each boss fight.
05 / THE GUIDE
Progression & Skill Trees
As you advance, skill trees let you unlock new abilities and expand the pool of options available in each run. Unlocking new rooms further diversifies the strategies you can employ.
These systems provide long‑term growth, encouraging players to refine their tactics over multiple attempts.
- Invest in skill tree branches that complement your favored relic types.
- Explore newly unlocked rooms early to discover additional strategic tools.
