How to play

Your goal is to clear three acts of the tower and defeat the Observer. Each turn you have 3 energy and 5 cards. A card costs energy (the number in the circle): attacks deal damage, skills grant block or effects, powers last for the whole fight. Block absorbs damage and resets at the start of your turn. Every enemy shows its intent: how much damage it will deal or what it will do. Read it and decide whether to strike or defend. When you are done, press End Turn. Controls: drag a card onto an enemy, or tap a card and then a target. Use the mouse on desktop. After a fight pick your rewards: gold, a potion, one card out of three. On the act map plot a path through fights, campfires (heal or upgrade a card), shops and events. Relics grant permanent bonuses for the whole run. If you fall, start again wiser: Ascension levels and the second hero unlock over time.
