Press release:
2P Games and Billiontail announce that Relief, a deckbuilding roguelike set in a post-Journey to the West world of corrupted deities, urban legends, and overpowered builds, is now available on Steam. Players can buy the game for the price of $14.99, 15,49€ and enjoy a 15% launch discount for 2 weeks.

ABOUT THE GAME

In Relief, players take on the role of the awakened heir of the Green Bull Demon, fighting through a strange myth-infused world while shaping powerful roguelike runs with cards, artifacts, and high-impact upgrades.
Players can choose from five spirit companions, each bringing their own cards and combat identity. Their playstyles range from status manipulation and spirit summoning to stance-switching, fusion-based mechanics, and elemental chain reactions, giving each run a distinct rhythm without losing the game’s core deckbuilding focus.

Roc’s Aid choices appear midway through each of the first three acts, offering powerful run-defining decisions that can dramatically reshape the strategy. With 24 Aid Powers in total, these choices can push players toward safer upgrades or bold, high-risk effects capable of turning an already strong deck into something absurdly powerful.

Another layer of customization comes through Blessings, which let players empower individual cards with powerful enchants earned via the game’s shrine system. With 14 Blessings in total, these effects can alter how cards are played, reduce costs, trigger extra value, or open up entirely new build paths.

KEY FEATURES

Choose between five unique spirit companions with distinct card pools and combat styles, ranging from summon-focused and status-driven strategies to fusion mechanics and elemental synergies.

Make run-shaping decisions across the early acts with 24 Aid Powers that can radically change their build direction.

Master an enhancing system with 14 powerful blessings that can transform simple tools into build-defining powerhouses.

Pick from 1,000+ cards and 300 artifacts: Character-specific cards, general cards, and Black Market options combine with a massive pool of artifacts to create near-endless build variety, so no two runs ever feel the same.

Repeat a unique 14-day cycle: The adventure spans five acts built around a repeating 14-day cycle, where players strengthen their build in town before venturing outward toward the final boss.

Experience over 50 random events inspired by Chinese folklore and urban legends shape each run through risky choices, eerie discoveries, and unexpected consequences.
