Ratropolis

Runs that play out differently every time

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.

Necrosmith

Runs that play out differently every time

As a necromancer you stitch together undead minions from mixed body parts and races, upgrade your tower, and send your clumsy army against hordes and the 'chosen ones'. Experimenting with body part combinations is the heart of the fun.

Backpack Hero

Tactical depth

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.

Loop Hero

Runs that play out differently every time

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.

Luck be a Landlord

Runs that play out differently every time

A roguelike deckbuilder where you stock a slot machine with symbols and chain synergies to pay the rent each cycle. Dry humor and addictive combos blend luck with careful planning.

Gnomes

Runs that play out differently every time

You deploy your gnomes, tend your garden and build defenses while the map grows deeper into goblin territory each day. Every run plays differently, and smartly combined upgrades prepare you for the final showdown with the goblin king.

Pawnbarian

Tactical depth

A puzzle roguelike where you play chess moves as cards to fight through tiny dungeon boards. Every turn rewards careful planning and clever card combinations.

Right and Down

Runs that play out differently every time

A roguelike card puzzler controlled with just two buttons, Right and Down. You plan routes through randomly generated card dungeons, collecting artifacts and powering up as you go.

Nordhold

Tactical depth

Nordhold blends tower defense with roguelite runs and base building: you grow a Nordic village, stack synergistic tower upgrades, and hold it against enemy waves on procedurally generated maps.
