Our take on Union of Gnomes
Rather than centering a conventional fairy-tale quest, the game frames its story as a gnome-led revolt against Snow White. Its deck-building roguelite structure puts squad composition and card combinations at the center of combat.
What is Union of Gnomes?
This deck-building roguelite sets a gnome uprising in a quirky fairy tale.
Choose from 3 gnome heroes with unique traits, decks, and abilities, then free comrades to build a squad and experiment with card combinations. The 130 cards can damage, poison, weaken, or blind enemies, while enemy positioning matters in combat. Improve heroes between runs to develop a build. The campaign spans 6 acts with quests and hidden stories, and features bosses and other fairy-tale enemies, including Red Hood, the Wizard of Oz, Pinocchio, and Snow White. Alongside story mode, Endless mode offers continuing gameplay. The game also includes 24 effects and 19 bosses.
