Candlewood

In development, Steam / Itch.io
View press kit Dark Cards of Candlewood is a deckbuilder with a unique, two-choice card combat system that's easy to pick up yet surprisingly deep. Created by Lunoland and published by Joystick Ventures, it's a solo collectible card game with the soul of a classic high-fantasy JRPG ⚔ Embark on replay-able randomized dungeon runs to earn new cards and loot. Master the chain and momentum systems, draft backpack items, and overcome each location's unique challenges and events.

Spend your characters' stat points to equip hundreds of cards from 6 class-based sets. Upgrade your cards, customize your party's decks, and build towards your ideal team as your collection grows. Complete dungeons to unlock more locations, meet new party members, and progress the story. Upgrade your town to open up even more possibilities and perks for your party.

Dungeon runs have roguelite flavor, but if you die you only lose loot you collected that run. Return to town any time to experiment with dozens of strategies and build the ultimate team for the job.
