  • Turn-based combat
  • Fantasy setting
  • Strong character progression

A turn-based deckbuilding roguelike where you fight hellish monsters with different heroes and spells, collect relics to strengthen your deck, and work to rebuild your ruined village.

Deck of Souls

Tactical depth

A turn-based roguelite deckbuilder with a soulslike flavor: defeated enemies become cards you add to your deck as you loop through runs to close the gates of hell. Dice rolls add an extra layer of tactical risk.

Moonsigil Atlas

Tactical depth

A deckbuilding roguelike with no energy system, where cards are played through physical space and shape. You slot cards together and reshape them to craft outrageously powerful combos.

Luck & Loot

Strong character progression

A roguelike where you build and upgrade your own dice instead of cards to defeat corrupted enemies in procedurally generated dungeons. Relics change the rules, and the 1-bit look gives it a grim atmosphere.

Archon Soul

Strong character progression

A 2D roguelike where you build dice instead of decks: swap faces, runes and bodies, draft spells and chase synergies to conquer the Archon's palace.

Slots & Daggers

Strong character progression

A retro fantasy roguelike set inside a slot machine, where spinning the reels determines your attacks and abilities. Luck and planning combine as you build up your hero run by run.
