From the Devs
Lost For Swords is a Roguelike Deckbuilder, where the cards in your deck shape the rooms you’re exploring.
Make your way up the tower, equip weapons and armor, cast spells and scrolls, activate auras, collect loot and fight the monsters on each floor.
The clue: the equipment you pick up can only be used once! Plan ahead how you spend your resources. Are your cards strong enough? Can you make it to the next dungeon floor?
Your equipment cards and the cards of the dungeon are shuffled together and placed on the board, creating a unique challenge every time!
Between dungeon floors, you can upgrade your equipment to build the strongest deck possible. Can you find synergies between the cards?
Key Features:
Deck Building and Playstyles: build and refine your deck as you fight your way up the towers. Choose wisely and craft the best deck from 100+ available cards. Play offensive or defensive, sneaky or powerful, deliberate or reckless. You decide!
Simple UI, Complex Strategy: every single one of your actions is a simple click. No inventory management, no menus, no card dragging, no busywork. Just pure turn based strategy and tactics!
Roguelike Runs: choose a hero and ascend the floors of a tower that is ever-changing. No two runs are the same. How far can you make it?
