About the Game

Witherheart: Roguelike Deck-builder in a dark fantasy world

Witherheart is a dark fantasy roguelike deck-builder that combines strategic card play with tactical positioning on a grid-based battlefield. Every encounter challenges you to make the most of your cards, your abilities, and the terrain itself.

Explore a corrupted world teeming with monstrous creatures, twisted landscapes, and deadly secrets. Each run is unique: enemies, loot, and events shift with every attempt, forcing you to adapt your strategy and think several moves ahead.

Your deck is your arsenal. Choose from attack, defense, and powerful ability cards, and discover synergies that turn the tide of battle. Positioning is just as crucial—careful movement on the grid can make the difference between victory and defeat. Exploit enemy weaknesses, control chokepoints, and anticipate attacks to survive.

Witherheart’s dark, atmospheric visuals bring a world of corruption and despair to life, while challenging gameplay ensures no two runs are ever the same. Only the clever, the cunning, and the ruthless can master the shadows that surround Witherheart.

  • Roguelike progression: Every run is different, with randomized encounters, loot, and enemies.

  • Deck-building combat: Build your deck from attack, defense, and ability cards with deep strategic choices.

  • Grid-based tactics: Position your heroes carefully to exploit enemy weaknesses and environmental advantages.

  • Dark fantasy world: Immerse yourself in a corrupted, atmospheric setting full of monstrous foes and haunting visuals.
