Rite is an epic, associative, and tactical wargame that makes players forget about the world around them. Each player commands one of five factions (Humans, Goblins, Undead, Chaos, or Primal) as they attempt to complete a rite in a volcanic crater.
The humans attempt to summon the power of the Angels by activating shrine tiles. The Goblins must make sacrifices and summon an ancient dragon. The Undead need the life energy of the other factions to activate runes and open a portal to the underworld. Chaos attempts to take control of enemy units to infiltrate enemy factions. Finally, the Primals attempt to devour all enemies in order to turn one of their little hatchlings into an Ultimatosaurus.
Factions can complete their rite by summoning unique units, moving them, and defeating other units. While doing so, they can perform special rituals to summon powerful commanders and unlock powerful spells.
Whatever the goal, players better watch where they step, because the enraged Fire Lord is trying to burn them from his volcano!
