  • Turn-based combat
  • Tactical depth
  • Fantasy setting

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.

Wildfrost

Turn-based combat

A tactical roguelike deckbuilder where you lead a band of companions across a frozen tundra. Card countdown timers make combat a puzzle of careful sequencing, wrapped in a charming, quirky art style.

Slay the Spire II

Turn-based combat

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.

Backpack Hero

Turn-based combat

A roguelike where packing your backpack is the puzzle: item placement, adjacency and synergies determine your offense and defense in turn-based fights. Each run brings new builds and routing decisions across the map.

Hellcard

Turn-based combat

A cooperative roguelike deckbuilder where you delve into paper dungeons solo, with AI companions, or with other players, fighting tactical card battles against demonic armies and the Archdemon.

Toads of the Bayou

Turn-based combat

Turn-based tactics meets roguelike deckbuilding as you lead a band of toads through a cursed bayou against Baron Samedi, growing a settlement and chaining card synergies.

Shogun Showdown

Strong character progression

A turn-based tactical roguelike set in feudal Japan where you manage positioning, attack order and upgradeable ability tiles on a narrow lane. Every turn feels like a small puzzle, and strong combos decide whether you reach the Shogun.

Massive Chalice

Turn-based combat

As an immortal ruler you guide a dynasty of heroes across centuries, arranging marriages, training heirs and sending them into turn-based tactical battles against demonic invaders. The appeal lies in generational management where fallen heroes are permanently lost.
