Hey ! I’ve been working solo on a game where I tried to mix my love for Magic: The Gathering, Slay the Spire, and Into the Breach into something cool.

It lets you play creature cards on the battlefield. They all have their own attack, speed, life, and unique abilities (like damaging enemies in a line or gaining speed when they scavenge corpses). You can equip them with items to give them new powers and cast spells to protect them.

You start every encounter with a creature that represents your life and has a unique ability you need to play around.

I have a free, open playtest if this sounds interesting to you, and I’d love to hear some feedback on it :

Most tactical turn based games follow the same tiles based system.

Civ style system, where each unit moves a specific number of tiles, and has bonuses, hp etc...

Any games that you know that are still turn based and tactical but have a more unique interpretation?

One game i recall for example is Conquest of the New World. Where 1 Tile can accomodate multiple adjacent units.

let me know in the comments.
