What is Lost For Swords?
A single-player, turn-based roguelike deckbuilder about climbing monster-filled towers. Equipment cards from your deck mix with dungeon cards to form each floor's board. You pick up weapons and armor that can be used once, fight monsters, and upgrade your deck between floors.
For you if...
- +you like making careful choices with limited resources
- +you enjoy building decks across changing tower runs
- +you want challenging combat with different heroes to try
Not for you if...
- −you want real-time action rather than turn-based combat
- −you prefer equipment you can use repeatedly
- −you dislike starting over in roguelike runs
