Krumit's Tale, the second game in the Meteorfall universe, is a new take on the deckbuilding roguelike genre. Use your cards to clear dungeons, then upgrade your deck with new cards and perks to press forward. The fate of the world is in your hands.
Instead of a traditional deck of cards, players must strategically place their abilities and equipment tiles on a 3x3 grid that also contains enemy tiles. This grid-based system allows for more dynamic and tactical gameplay compared to hand-based deckbuilding. Players must carefully consider the positioning of their tiles to effectively defeat enemies, whose attack patterns they can view beforehand.
The game offers five playable characters, each with their own starting perks and card pools. For example, one character can deal massive damage by isolating enemies, while another excels at generating resources through clever tile placement. Mastering the strengths and weaknesses of each character is crucial to success.
Every action in the game requires meaningful decision-making. Before engaging an enemy, players can assess its attack pattern and plan their moves accordingly. Acquiring new tiles, discarding existing ones, and managing resources like health and gold all demand careful consideration. This focus on strategic planning and puzzle-solving sets the experience apart from more straightforward deckbuilding roguelikes.
While the core mechanics remain consistent, the order of tiles, enemy combinations, and available upgrades vary between runs. This randomness forces players to adapt their tactics on the fly and experiment with different approaches to overcome the game's challenges.
In addition to the five base characters, players can unlock new cards, perks, and additional playable characters through successful runs. The game's relatively short duration of 45-60 minutes per attempt makes it easy to squeeze in multiple runs, further enhancing the addictive and compelling nature of the experience.
