A rogue-like deck-building experience coupled with table top battles. Choose a hero and allegiance then dive deep into the dungeon, evolving your deck for survival. Each choice you make matters, even in between battles!
Players can choose from three hero classes - Warrior, Mage, and Rogue - each with unique talents, weapons, and starting decks. As players progress through the procedurally generated dungeons, they can acquire new cards, upgrade existing ones, and customize their decks to better suit their playstyle and the challenges they face.
The card system is the core of the gameplay. Each card represents a unit, spell, or special ability that players can use in combat. Cards come in varying power levels that players can upgrade over time, adding new abilities and increased stats. Managing and optimizing one's deck is crucial, as players must balance drawing powerful cards, maintaining deck consistency, and removing weak cards. The diverse set of card effects and interactions allows for a wide variety of deck-building strategies.
The defining feature of the gameplay is its grid-based tactical combat. During battles, players position their hero and summoned units on a grid, using their abilities and positioning to gain advantages over the enemy. Factors like range, flanking, and terrain all play a role in determining the optimal strategy. This grid system adds an additional layer of depth and decision-making to the typical deckbuilding combat.
In addition to the card-based deck, players can also upgrade their hero's abilities and equip various weapons and artifacts. As the hero levels up, they gain access to new talents and stat boosts, further customizing their playstyle. Powerful gear found throughout the dungeon can also provide significant buffs and synergies with the player's deck, making gear acquisition an important part of progression.
The game offers a high degree of replayability, with multiple hero classes, allegiances, and starting deck options to choose from. Additionally, the game features a difficulty scaling system, allowing players to increase the challenge as they become more skilled. This encourages experimentation with different strategies and deck compositions to overcome the increasingly tough obstacles.
