Tendryll: The New Frontier of Roguelike Deckbuilding

Tendryll merges the thrill of deckbuilding with tactical grid-based combat, reminiscent of titles like "Slay the Spire" and "Into the Breach." Players will select their heroes, who join forces to eradicate the corruption plaguing their world. Strategy is key as you face formidable foes, hazardous traps, and maps full of environmental obstacles that can affect your cards and movement.

Heroes with Unique Abilities and Moves

Every hero in Tendryll comes equipped with a distinct move deck, guaranteeing a crucial move card is drawn each turn. This design ensures that your characters are always engaged in the battle. As you progress, swapping move cards at dedicated map nodes allows for tactical adjustments and a balanced deck, critical for survival in the face of adversity.

Tactical Combat and Card Interaction

Engaging the enemy isn't just about brute force. Tactical options abound as heroes can execute attacks that knock opponents into walls, teleport for energy advantages, or even reposition allies across the battlefield. Each interaction contributes to your tactics—utilizing these abilities creatively can turn the tide of battle and offer a satisfying gameplay loop.

Runes and Anomalies: The Risk-Reward Balance

As you venture deeper into the game, you'll encounter card-altering runes, unique movement cards, and relics that define your class. Runes can enhance your cards, providing powerful bonuses like doubling your block or granting invisibility. Shops and black markets introduce tempting anomalies—offering free items at the cost of life, these moments require players to balance greed against survival, lending a strategic depth to each choice.

A Rich Progression System Awaits

Prepare for a diverse and expansive progression system with over 170 cards, 115 relics, and various heroes to command. With three acts and more than five bosses, you’ll face 35 unique encounters, complemented by 30 bounties that unlock heroes, relics, and potions. Each playthrough offers something new as players adjust tactics based on the rewards acquired and the challenges posed.

Ascension Levels and Full Steam Deck Support

Challenge yourself with ten ascension levels that drastically elevate the difficulty and strategic requirements of each run. As you master the core mechanics, prepare to have your skills pushed to their limits. Tendryll also offers full Steam Deck support, ensuring that players can take their tactical challenges on the go, pending Steam validation.
