Instead of controlling the hero, you shape the world around his endless loop with cards for monsters, buildings and terrain while managing his gear between auto-battles. An oddly addictive blend of roguelike, base-building and loot optimization wrapped in grim retro pixel art.

Ratropolis

Building and crafting

You rule a rat kingdom, building up your city and defending it in real time against waves of enemies, using cards for buildings, troops and spells. The blend of deckbuilding, tower defense and roguelite makes every run feel different.

Pyrene

Pixel art

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.

Luck & Loot

Loot and gear

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.

Backpack Hero

Loot and gear

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.

Ring of Pain

Build variety

A dark roguelike where you pick through rings of cards holding enemies, items and traps in a carefully planned order. Every move is a gamble over sequencing, health and gear, with many unlockable characters and builds.

Guild of Dungeoneering

Loot and gear

You never control the hero directly; instead you play cards to build the dungeon around him, placing rooms, monsters, traps and loot. Combat resolves via card choices, wrapped in a charming doodle art style, quirky humor and a funny narrated soundtrack.

Monster Slayers

Loot and gear

A roguelike deckbuilder where you build a hero with classes, gear and a card deck, fighting through turn-based battles against monsters in the Northern Valley. The tone is lighthearted and character progression is the focus.
