Roguelike deck builder at sea. Read the tide, plan your hand, win the voyage.
Saltreckon is a roguelike deck builder at sea for one player, ruled by a tide you can read three turns ahead. Sail a branching chart, build your deck as you go, and win the voyage.
THE TIDE IS ON SCREEN
The tide turns every turn, in a fixed order: low, flood, high, ebb. The mark now and the next three are always in front of you. Many cards change with the tide, and every enemy reacts to it in its own way.
YOU STEER IT
Some cards move the tide forward or hold it for a turn. The change shows at once on your cards and on the enemy's next attack, before you end your turn.
HOLD A CARD FOR THE RIGHT TIDE
Cards you do not play stay in your hand. Keep one for high water, or play it now while the enemy's blow grows too.
THE TIDE CARRIES ON
It never resets between fights, so how you end one fight sets up the next.
A WHOLE VOYAGE
A sea chart of fights, elites, islands, harbours, markets and wrecks, ending in a two-phase boss. Pick the route, and the tide you will arrive on. Share a seed, or sail the same daily voyage as everyone else. A turn-based card game, made to be held upright in one hand.
FREE TO PLAY
Act 1 is free, the whole act on Calm from the first stop to the boss. It comes with the first captain and a deck pool of more than 60 cards, the daily voyage, two challenge charts, seed entry, your history, statistics and logbook, and backup and restore.
