Rogue Keys is a turn-based, tactical puzzle/strategy game played on a 5×5 grid where every move counts. Survive enemies, manage your limited turns, and unlock mysterious Glyphs that bend the rules of the game in surprising ways. The twist in Rogue Keys is that your powers and upgrades (as well as enemy buffs) are represented by placed keyboard keys on the board tiles. Each run is a battle of wits against the board itself. You’ll need to balance survival, score-chasing, and risk-taking, all while planning around abilities that grow more powerful the longer you play. FEATURES: • Turn-Based Tactics: Every move consumes precious turns; every decision matters. • Keys of Power: Discover and equip 64 unique keys with over 100 game-changing effects and combos. • Stack & Shift Mechanics: Upgrade keys by using the ‘Shift’ key and chain key abilities for unique effects. • High Score Chasing: Bank points strategically or risk losing them forever. Global leaderboards through Game Center. • Endless Replayability: Procedurally generated boards and randomised keys keep every run unique. • Multi-Run: Extend your streak across multiple runs, earn Glyphs, and carry their powers forward until your streak ends. • Seeded Runs: Weekly seeded runs allow you to jump straight into a single run without the set up and test your skills against other players on the same board. • Accessibility: App and gameplay fully supported with Voiceover.

The Convergence is a dark fantasy squad auto-battler where heroes from different eras are pulled into the same Arena as time begins to collapse. Recruit units from across the timeline, build a five-unit squad, and equip skills that shape how your team targets, moves, survives, and fights. Between enemy waves, adapt your strategy by recruiting new units, upgrading your build, and preparing for the next threat. In battle, your decisions play out in real time as enemy factions from different ages and worlds test your squad in different ways. A CAMPAIGN, THEN A LADDER THAT NEVER ENDS • Campaign: Fight through four distinct era-chapters and a final Convergence chapter as the Arena shifts from one world to another. Each chapter introduces its own enemies, battlefield identity, and boss encounter, building toward a final clash where every era collides at once. • Infinite Run: unlocked by the Campaign. Push your squad as far as it can go in an infinite run built around escalating waves, unlocks, and long-term progression. Experiment with new team combinations, survive deeper into the run, and strengthen future attempts through an expanding talent system. DEEP SQUAD COMP Mix eras freely. Every hero brings a signature ability, and the chip system means two players running the same five heroes can build completely different squads. ONE-OFF, NO STRINGS One purchase. No ads, no in-app purchases, no energy timers. Buy it, own it.
