Turn-based rogue-like gameplay drives Card Dungeon, where you wander invaded lands to crush Nethermist monsters in crypts and dungeons. Collect from thousands of cards, including skills, traits, and equipment like the Whisper Blade or Iron gauntlets, while deciding what to keep as they wear out with use. Face over 40 unique enemies with distinct skill cards, adapting strategies across runs in randomly generated levels on a board game-style map.
Permadeath adds tension: retrieve lost gold and items by reaching your previous death spot, or lose them forever. Unlock character traits like strong fighter or teleporting fire starter to mix playstyles with cards and gear. Strategy fans who love planning over reflexes thrive in this indie RPG, chasing loot recovery through repeated dungeon crawls on PC.
Returning home from your voyages you find your homelands have been invaded by the unholy inhabitants of the Nethermist and has setup camp in crypts and dungeons all across the lands. Wander through the lands and bring down the vengeance of your Lords unto the unclean monsters in a
turn based rogue-like set in a gorgeous board game setting.
