Dungeon Drafters

I have been playing a ton of deck-building games lately and have been having a blast with them, so when I saw Dungeon Drafters, I knew that I wanted to check it out. Unlike the traditional titles in this genre, Dungeon Drafters has you use your cards as magic in encounters instead of having a battle where both sides are tossing down their decks.

This rogue-lite features a tactical grid combat system, where you get to do three moves, whether it is using a card to attack or to move a space. Once you are done, the opponent does the same. This may sound incredibly simple, but there is a lot going on in this game.

You play as a young adventurer who dreams of exploring ancient ruins to find long-lost cards to create the ultimate deck. The story tells of the World of 4 Corners, four archetypes along with 12 saints who worked together to save the world from an evil entity known as "The Stranger". The four archetypes sacrificed themselves during the battle and sealed the evil stranger away to save the world.

Years later, this ancient seal was broken and the malevolent magic threatens to take over. You are on a ship that is caught in a storm, and the craft is destroyed, with the survivors washing up on a beach. Here, you get to select which of the six classes you would like to use for your run. These si classes vary quite drastically in playstyle so I suggest trying them out for yourself and finding which is your favourite one. As an example the Brawler uses Melee attacks and can even throw their opponent, while the Mage uses powerful magic to destroy the enemy - there is a class for everyone.
