Blade and Madness is a dark and moody digital card game with roguelite progression in which you must steel yourself and face the terrible creatures that inhabit this island. Will you lead your men to salvation, or will you fall to madness like many before you?
Engage in thrilling turn-based combat against horrifying monsters. Plan your strikes, feints and maneuvers using an innovative sequence system, then watch your strategies unveil themselves with flawless efficiency. Be wary, though, as the enemies' moves will not always be clear to you. Learn to predict them, and you will master the art of survival.
A madness system that may help you understand the finer mysteries of this world, unlocking new effects on cards, enemies, and environments. Don't let it get out of control, or it might spell your doom.
Turn based combat that simulates the natural ebb and flow of a fight. A speed stat determines whether your cards or the enemy's will be faster. Remember that you can't dodge what's already hit you.
Build a myriad of possible decks based on the choices you make throughout the run. From the stalwart and reliable Conquistador's gunpowder to the eldritch and unpredictable spells of the Scholar.
Use your ill-gotten gains back at your humble abode in the Refuge, where all manner of castaways huddle together in the hopes of finding a way back home. Unlock new cards, upgrade the existing ones and slowly unravel the secrets of the Island.
