7 itemsAbout the Game
Dimwood is a roguelike deck builder with unique modal cards, every battle is a puzzle where every card can affect the next.
Cards are written with strings of 'pips' that can deal damage, reinforce your block, or even change the mode of every other card in the battle. Pips can be moved, shuffled, inverted, or transformed into other pips, making cards into something new entirely!
Venture into the Dimwood, an odd colorless forest that's hidden from the sky, and defeat the Beast at its heart. Learn to combine pips, cards, and artifacts to overcome fearsome enemies in tactical turn-based combat.
Play as three unique archetypes with different styles of deckbuilding, the Ranger, the Tactician, and the Druid!
Discover and unlock over 400 different cards!
Battle over 30 different enemies and fill your Bestiary!
Defeat the Beast at the heart of the Dimwood and unlock 20 difficulty modifying descensions!
