Lead a force that carries its scars with it.
Isle of Elinys is a card-driven strategy roguelite where you move across a series of maps, building outposts, fighting for territory, and preparing for what comes next.
Each run is a continuous campaign. Your units persist from one map to the next, growing stronger over time... but any loss is permanent. A single bad fight can weaken your entire run, forcing you to adapt with what remains.
Deploy troop and building cards from a limited hand to expand your position, manage scarce resources, and push deeper into hostile territory. Every decision shapes not just the current battle, but the strength of your force going forward.
There are no isolated encounters, only consequences.
