Description

New update! Including new cards, quests and balance updates!

Lost For Swords is a Roguelike Deckbuilder, where the cards in your deck shape the rooms you’re exploring.

Make your way up the tower, equip weapons and armor, cast spells and scrolls, activate auras, collect loot and defeat monsters in tactical turn-based combat.

The clue: the equipment you pick up can only be used once! Plan ahead how you spend your resources. Are your cards strong enough? Can you make it to the next floor?

Your equipment cards and the cards of the dungeon are shuffled together and placed on the board, creating a unique challenge every time!

Between dungeon floors, you can upgrade your equipment to build the strongest deck possible. Can you find synergies between the cards?

Lost For Swords is a...

* Card Game
* Roguelike Dungeon Crawler
* Turn Based Strategy Game

...all in one!

A Hidden Gem for Strategy & Roguelike Fans

This game offers fun and unique gameplay that’s both engaging and surprisingly challenging at times—particularly boss fights. However, after a few runs, the “light bulb moment” kicks in 💡, and strategies start to click into place.

I got tremendous value out of the free version and quickly purchased the full game after completing all the towers. It’s easily become one of my favorite strategy/roguelike games at the moment.

The “undo” option is a standout feature, making the game forgiving yet strategic, allowing you to tweak decisions on the fly ↩️. I genuinely hope the developers continue to support and expand this fantastic title with future updates 🔥🙏.

Amazing game

I found this game because the developer shared about it on Reddit. It’s an amazing game, crafted with love, high quality graphics - really an awesome project and fun/deep mechanics. I personally love Roguelites and deck builders like StS, and this game scratches a similar itch while throwing in more engaging and immersive gameplay. Combined with the fact that there’s active updates and development—probably the fastest and happiest $5 I’ve given to support someone! Definitely give this game a play!
