Our take on Dungeon Drafters
The defining tension is the decision to continue deeper into a dungeon or return to town with loot before it can be lost.
What is Dungeon Drafters?
Dungeon Drafters is a tile-based dungeon crawler with rogue-lite elements, where magic takes the form of cards.
Choose one of six adventurers, each with a signature starting deck, then explore six dungeons, collect cards and treasure, rescue lost adventurers, and fight enemies with card-based attacks and combos. During a run, decide whether to continue deeper or return to town to secure collected loot. Town activities include preparing for the next expedition, acquiring cards through boosters, unlocking new cards, talking with NPCs, starting challenging quests, and fishing. New cards can support different deck concepts, regardless of the character chosen at the start. The overall objective is to build a spell deck capable of banishing evil and forbidden cards.
