What is Dungeon Drafters?
This turn-based dungeon crawler sends a young adventurer into ancient ruins to rid the world of evil and forbidden cards. Choose a character, build a spell-card deck, and fight enemies on a grid. Each run lets you collect cards and loot before deciding whether to push deeper or return to town with your spoils.
For you if...
- +you enjoy building decks around spell-card combinations
- +you like turn-based fights where positioning matters
- +you enjoy collecting cards across repeat dungeon runs
Not for you if...
- −you want action combat instead of turn-based grid tactics
- −you dislike risking collected loot by pushing deeper
