About the Game

Deep in the heart of cursed dungeons, a lone blacksmith shapes the fate of heroes. You don’t fight monsters, you forge the tools that slay them.

Arm the Hero is a roguelite deck-building game where you take on the role of a dungeon blacksmith.

The game features 6 distinct classes: Knight, Barbarian, Legionary, Assassin, Bandit, and Pirate. Each class has unique skills, attributes, and weapon preferences. Barbarians demand mighty axes, while Legionaries prefer precise spears. Knights thrive with heavy weapons, whereas Assassins seek speed and lightness. Build your deck tailored to their needs and fighting styles.

There are 4 types of cards in your deck: Blades, Handles, Sticks, and Runes. The combination of these parts determines the weapon you forge. Swords require blades and handles; axes demand blades and sticks. You can further enhance these weapons using runes.

Each dungeon houses a variety of monsters. Some heavily armored, others inflicting deadly bleed effects.

Forge wisely. Your craftsmanship shapes the outcome of every battle.
