  • Turn-based combat
  • Tactical depth
  • Fantasy setting

Oaken is a tactical turn-based roguelike with deck building, where positioning and rotating your figurines on the board decides each fight. You gather allies and upgrade cards to restore the song of the Great Oak.

Roguebook

Turn-based combat

A roguelike deckbuilder where you guide two heroes through a magical book, uncovering the map tile by tile and building powerful combos from cards and relics. Each run feels different thanks to randomization and hero pairings.

Solitairica

Turn-based combat

Solitairica fuses classic solitaire with roguelike combat: clearing cards charges your spells and damages enemies while you build up a hero with items and abilities. It all comes wrapped in a tongue-in-cheek fantasy tone.

Defend the Rook

Turn-based combat

A turn-based tactics roguelike that blends tower defense with board-style combat: you place towers and units to hold off waves of invaders. Every turn rewards careful planning rather than reflexes.

Beneath Oresa

Challenging difficulty

A roguelike deckbuilder where card choices combine with positioning on the battlefield. You descend into the city of Oresa, building a deck from cards, upgrades and artifacts to defeat your foes.

Slay the Spire II

Challenging difficulty

The sequel to the genre-defining roguelike deckbuilder: every run you assemble card and relic synergies and make tense tactical decisions climbing the Spire. New heroes, alternate acts and co-op play open up fresh strategies.
