Our take on Throne of Bone
The store copy emphasizes a large roster and spell selection, while the core battles are automated: minions fight on their own and player input comes through spells. The experience also includes between-battle castle management, so it is not solely a drafting-and-combat loop.
What is Throne of Bone?
Throne of Bone is a turn-based strategy game that combines roguelike runs, deckbuilding, and autobattler combat.
Draft from more than 50 minions with different strengths and weaknesses, then build synergies as each run presents new choices and threats. Minions fight automatically, while spells can be cast during battles to affect the fight. Victories earn skulls, which can be spent between battles on castle activities such as rituals and minion training. The game also includes over 70 spells and more than 50 rewards. Runs center on reclaiming a kingdom as a necromancer, with changing selections of minions, spells, and rewards shaping each attempt.
