Every card moves the battle
Spellstrider is a turn-based roguelike deckbuilder fought on a tactical grid. Even movement is a card: Spellstride across the board, line up your attacks, slip behind a foe for a backstab, or shove an enemy into a pit. Enemies don't wait for your turn to end. Every card you play gives them a chance to answer, so each move counts.
Fight on the grid
Position matters. Facing, backstabs, push and pull, line and area attacks, obstacles and holes all change the fight.
Spend energy, draw, discard and exhaust, and upgrade your cards between battles.
Over 300 cards, from blades and arrows to frost, shadow and summoning.
70 enemies with 60 traits and 36 status effects, plus 8 bosses. You never know which one waits at the end of an act.
Choose your road
Three acts of branching maps: battles, elites, camps, merchants, treasure and boss fights.
Strange encounters along the way: the Whispering Woods, the Cavern of Echoes, the Spell Weaver and more, each with a choice to make.
Recruit over 60 animal companions who fight beside you and fill your Sanctuary across runs.
29 potions to turn a losing fight.
Climb higher
20 Ascension levels for players who want a real challenge.
Endless Mode: beat Act 3 and keep going, with enemies growing stronger every loop.
Score and speedrun leaderboards (daily, weekly and all-time), and over 50 achievements.
Better with a friend
Invite a Steam friend into 2-player online co-op. Each of you has your own deck and health against shared, scaled-up enemies. Co-op runs save and resume.
Play your way
Full controller support, a mouse, or Steam Deck. The game saves automatically, even mid-battle.
