The Hero's Road

Node-based roguelite

The Hero's Road is a PC deckbuilding roguelite with semi-automatic combat. You set out from a cathedral doorstep and choose routes across a node map, reaching battles, strange encounters, travellers, merchants and elite foes. Each act ends at a gatekeeper; after Act III, the run reaches the Exam.

Combat and builds

You and your opponent attack on your own, so combat is about choices rather than reflexes. Before each fight, you choose a magic card to draw from your magic. You also decide what to carry and which path to take, shaping a build around six interlocking paths: crit, lifesteal, shield, burn, gold and low HP.
