This is a strategy action game with rogue-like and deck-building. In this game, you'll play as a character embarking on an adventure through level after level, using your constructed deck to battle enemies. There's a variety of different classes to choose from, each with a ton of cards to help you plan out your strategy. Sounds simple, right? But every decision you make in battle leads to different outcomes. You gotta balance dodging or blocking enemy attacks while seizing opportunities to take them down. Features: * 5 character classes. * More than 100 cards. * Rogue-like dungeon crawling. * A variety of enemies and bosses. I gotta say, this game is TOUGH!
