Welcome to Abalon, a legendary tactical roguelike and deck building RPG! CARDS. DICE. TACTICS. Embark on epic roguelike adventures to explore a tabletop inspired world and discover its secrets. Abalon combines turn based tactical combat with deck building strategy. Defeat monstrous hordes and powerful bosses to reap the rewards of treasures, allies, and spells. Roll the dice and become a dungeon crawling legend! COMMAND LIKE A GOD Command from a top-down perspective that gives you ultimate control over battlefield tactics. Your characters look up to you (literally) as their god to indicate they are ready to receive your orders. Commands are intuitive: Drag cards to cast spells. Drag warriors to enemies to attack. Drag healers to injured allies to heal. Play fast and fluid with 3-5 minute battles and without having to wait for animations. You can even undo failed attacks to try different approaches. Endless possibilities are at your fingertips! OUTWIT YOUR OPPONENTS Defeat overwhelming odds by mastering tactical positions, backstabbing, feinting counterattacks, knocking enemies into allies to trigger combos, leveraging traps for bonus damage and exploiting spell synergies to manipulate the battlefield in your favor. Abalon is deceptively simple to learn with an unrivaled depth of mechanics that are challenging to master. Position matters. Facing matters. Terrain matters. BUILD THE PERFECT DECK Choose compelling characters like squirrel hurling druids, menacing liche kings, psychic lizard wizards and steampunk time traveling rats. Abalon has over 500 cards including 225 hand-crafted characters with distinct strengths and weaknesses. Select your favorite summoner, build your team and construct a deck of 20 cards. Abalon differs from other role-playing games by removing grindy leveling systems in favor of fixed character stats and abilities and interchangeable gear-based upgrades. Use everyone you have and experiment to create unique strategies. UNLEASH CREATIVE COMBOS Combine your units and spells to create game-breaking synergies: Hurl a squirrel at your opponent and command your critter to bite them in the butt. Cast Animal Growth to mutate it into a super hulk squirrel. Then use Breed to multiply it into an army of hulk squirrels and decimate your opponent in the most satisfying way! Discover something new each time you play. EXPLORE. ROLL DICE. MAKE FRIENDS. Explore an ever-changing fantasy world filled with colorful woodlands, frozen peaks, barren deserts, and perilous dungeons. Abalon is rich in lore, both gritty and humorous, and each biome offers its own characters to find and mysteries to unravel. Collect and roll D20 dice to determine the outcome of fate encounters and make friends with charming bears and birthday goblins.

About

Infinite Swap

Read full description

You have one bright green bottle cap. Can you trade your way to a house? A private jet? A space flight? Infinite Swap drops you into a world of traders, deal-makers and oddballs — each with something they want, and something they'll let go. Walk into a flea market, a marina, a tech campus, an art district, and start swapping. A bottle cap becomes a vintage camera. The camera becomes a sailboat. The sailboat becomes a vintage Porsche. Where you end up is entirely up to you — and the deals you make. And after every swap, Sal the Appraiser — a sharp-eyed pawnbroker who's seen it all — gives you his fully voiced verdict. Did you get a steal? Or did you just torch your fortune? But not every trade goes up. Read a character wrong, jump on an offer that looked too sweet, and the fortune you spent an hour climbing can vanish in a single swap. Climb high, crash hard, dust yourself off, and try to read the next trader better than the last. NO TWO PLAYTHROUGHS THE SAME Every trader you meet, every item they own, every offer they make is generated fresh. The merchant who traded you a telescope last game might want something completely different this time. Play it once and you've seen one shape of the world. Play it ten times and you've still only scratched the surface. 37 UNIQUE CHARACTERS A French circus performer running a curiosity shop. A retired Oxford historian downsizing her artefacts. A beach bodybuilder hunting gym equipment. A tech bro flexing rare mechanical keyboards. Every trader has their own personality and fully voiced reactions — and a hidden motivation that changes every game. 11 HANDCRAFTED LOCATIONS Flea markets, art districts, university quarters, beaches, marinas, tech campuses and more. New locations unlock as you climb, opening doors to higher-stakes trades and richer characters. PROGRESSIVE OBJECTIVES Start by trading your way to a house. Then chase the private jet. The private island. The superyacht. The space flight. Earn medals at every milestone — and find out what waits beyond the stars. YOUR COLLECTION Every item you discover is catalogued forever. Sort by value, browse your journey, and watch your trades climb (or plummet) from cents to millions. ONE BOTTLE CAP. INFINITE OUTCOMES. HOW FAR CAN YOU RIDE IT?
