About the Game

The tactical slots based roguelike battler. Collect units, discover relics, and play mini games to create the ultimate army. Can you shuffle your way to victory in this chaotic roguelike army builder?

Game Features

  • Collect and upgrade units and relics to crush your foes.

  • Battle with your grid - Shuffle your board, line up bonuses, and lock in patterns to unleash your army.

  • Explore a new map each time - discover random events, mini games, and fight with no two runs being the same. 

Align the grid to find the best bonuses, then unleash your army on your enemies!  Focus on matching class patterns, bonus tiles, or whatever you need on a given turn!

With dozens of unlockable commanders and units, find the right offense (or defense) that's right for you! Mix attackers, defenders, merchants, and healers to create awesome strategies!

Play minigames to boost your damage, recruit more units, and find powerful relics!
