The supernatural conflicts of Idols of Torment rage across a perilous afterlife called the Echo. This ruined landscape combines the remnants of Heaven and Hell following their apocalyptic collapse, forging a single, shattered realm inhabited by wandering souls.
Idols of Torment is a cosmic horror miniatures game for two players. Each player takes on the role of a dark entity called an Eternal. As an Eternal, you command eldritch manifestations called Idols as they descend upon the Echo. Your sole purpose is to pit your Idols against your enemy for control over the tormented souls. These souls are a precious resource that must be reaped, thus releasing their energy from the Echo and returning it to the stars. But reaping them is not an easy task — you will need all the tools at your disposal to chase them down, influence their movements, manipulate the landscape, and fend off your opponent.
The overall system takes familiar skirmish gameplay and blends it with various tabletop roleplaying game and board game concepts, delivering a classic, turn-based, strategy game experience. '
