About the Game

Galactic Overlord is a rogue-lite deck-builder.  Travel the galaxy, hone your deck, find strange and powerful artifacts, and defeat the rebels!  Balance your deck carefully to maintain the favor you have with the different factions!

Play as the titular Galactic Overlord, using your cards to call in favors from the various loyal factions.  Each faction will usually offer only one favor per turn, so when building your deck, you must make sure to balance cards of each faction.

This unique resource mechanic forces you to weigh the benefits of faction synergy and the ability to play multiple cards.  Master it, and you can bring peace back to the galaxy!

Features:

  • Unique runs with randomly generated opponents, artifacts, and cards

  • Tactical, turn-based gameplay

  • A full story mode and ending, as well as an endless mode for high scores

  • Fully moddable.  Create your own cards!

  • A charming sci-fi setting with colorful pixel graphics

  • A killer soundtrack
