How to play Altus 24 on Mac

Game summary

Altus 24 is a game about an angel participating in a ceremonial ritual that involves ascending several giant towers, conquering the bosses on each of their roofs. The game cycles continuously between three "phases": Build, Spawn, and Action. In the build phase, you have access to an inventory of building items which you can use to construct platforms and mechanisms to help you scale further up the tower. After each build phase, new enemies spawn into the tower. Finally, in the action phase, the game unfreezes itself, and you are given 15 seconds to achieve as much as you can. This includes climbing higher, fighting enemies, and opening treasure chests. The latter two provide you with cards, which can be flipped over during the build phase, awarding you with random building blocks, potions, new weapons, upgrades, and other helpful items.

Play Altus 24 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Altus 24 on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
