Aethermancer
Release date: September 23, 2025 on Steam
Rating: Pending
Aethermancer is a roguelite from moi rai games in which you fight alongside mythical creatures in turn-based battles. These creatures find themselves in a constant cycle between death and rebirth due to their violations of the virtues of the world, preventing them from leaving freely. The player, referred to as an Aethermancer, can bind these monsters to themselves and travel the world with up to three creatures, train their team, and grow stronger.
The battles are turn-based and offer various ways to create your own strategies: Attacks relate to one of four elements of Aether, unleash spells, weaken enemies, protect team members, and overcome various battles and levels.
However, one should keep an eye on the lives of their monsters. If a monster dies in battle, you lose it. While you can resurrect it back to life, this changes your loyal companion each time.
Aethermancer is set to release on September 23, which is why there are no user reviews yet, but you can already download the demo on Steam to get a sense of it yourself.
This was just a small insight into games that have been released or will be released in September, but perhaps one or the other game could arouse your curiosity, whether analog horror or roguelite.
