The wait is over! Publisher Astrolabe Games and developer MaxBytes are thrilled to announce the global launch of Lost for Swords, the highly anticipated roguelike deckbuilder/card crawler, available now on Steam. To celebrate, a brand-new launch trailer has been released, offering a glimpse into the game’s dynamic gameplay and strategic battles.
About Lost for Swords
In this innovative roguelite card-crawler, everything except the floor itself is built from cards. True to its name, Lost for Swords keeps players endlessly hunting for new weapons, as all items, including scrolls, potions, weapons, and armor, are single-use. But don’t worry—there are plenty to find!
Players can pick up as many weapons as they like or layer on stacks of armor, consuming these resources one-by-one from top to bottom. The mission is simple: reach the top of the tower using limited resources and limitless strategy.
Simplified System with Deep Strategies
Forget complicated inventories and cumbersome mechanics. Lost for Swords streamlines everything to pure turn-based strategy, allowing skilled adventurers to move as swiftly as their minds allow—just point and click your way through the adventure! There’s no movement limit for your character; turns only advance when you interact. Take your time to choose your positioning carefully, exploit the environment, and orchestrate perfect enemy defeats. Made a mistake? You can always revert to your previous step.
Continuously expand and refine your deck as you ascend. Resting floors during the climb provide ample freedom to modify your deck—enhance, remove, heal, or add cards. The choice is entirely yours.
Endless Combinations, Unlimited Replayability
Play as one of three distinct heroes—Knight, Rogue, or Mage—each equipped with over 100 unique cards and multiple unlockable starter decks. Whether you prefer powerful one-hit attacks, armor-stacking, sneaky poison tactics, or spell-spamming madness, Lost for Swords has you covered!
Explore six different towers with multiple floors scattered across vast lands, each housing unique enemy groups, special traps, and mighty bosses. Weapons, armors, accessories, auras, potions, and scrolls—this adventure is full of possibilities!
Every tower climb offers random encounters and side quests crafted by the tower master’s mischievous shuffle. Fulfill special conditions to dramatically swing the tide of battle. Plus, extensive difficulty adjustments ensure each run feels fresh—ramp up the challenge anytime you start feeling too comfortable.
Become a Dungeon Architect
Every player is a potential dungeon architect. Lost for Swords includes a built-in level editor for players to share their most challenging tower chambers. Challenge your friends and unleash your dungeon-designing genius—show them who is the ultimate Tower Master!
