About Lost For Swords
Lost For Swords is a Roguelike Deckbuilder, where the cards in your deck shape the rooms you’re exploring.
Make your way up the tower, equip weapons and armor, cast spells and scrolls, activate auras, collect loot and fight the monsters on each floor.
The clue: the equipment you pick up can only be used once! Plan ahead how you spend your resources. Are your cards strong enough? Can you make it to the next dungeon floor?
Your equipment cards and the cards of the dungeon are shuffled together and placed on the board, creating a unique challenge every time!
Between dungeon floors, you can upgrade your equipment to build the strongest deck possible. Can you find synergies between the cards?
Key Features:
- Deck Building and Playstyles: build and refine your deck as you fight your way up the towers. Choose wisely and craft the best deck from 100+ available cards. Play offensive or defensive, sneaky or powerful, deliberate or reckless. You decide!
- Simple UI, Complex Strategy: every single one of your actions is a simple click. No inventory management, no menus, no card dragging, no busywork. Just pure turn based strategy and tactics!
- Roguelike Runs: choose a hero and ascend the floors of a tower that is ever-changing. No two runs are the same. How far can you make it?
Additional Facts:
- 3 playable characters, each with 100+ cards
- multiple unlockable alternative starter decks for each character
- 6 distinct towers with unique monsters, traps and bosses
- quests and random encounters, which can change the course of a run

Love this game! Simple to learn, hard to master, addictive.2 found this helpful
This was a gem, like an emerald (play the game to find out). Speaking of puns, check out the title. Two puns in one! Not only is it a pun on "lost for words", but you also have to find the lost four swords. Yeah, that's about it for story, but you didn't come here for that. The gameplay is challenging on regular difficulty, and there are options to increase the difficulty. There are four classes as of this review - Knight, Rogue, Mage, and Warlock. I found Knight and Warlock to be the easiest. Rogue and Mage are decent until the final tower, which becomes very challenging. Try different strategies and starting decks and see what works! The tutorial is pretty good. It teaches you most of what you need to know. Move around on a grid. Pick up weapons, prepare spells, cast scrolls, gain armor, fight monsters using your top weapon or spell. There are 3 parts to each floor. Towers have between 5 and 10 floors. That means, if you're doing well, your run could take about an hour and a half, maybe more. And you might just find yourself smashing your fists against a barrel for ten minutes (yes, there's a reason to do this). My favorite part of the game is the variety …1 found this helpful
i would give this a mixed review if i could did i have fun? yes is it unique? yes does it have content? yes but whats wrong with it? the balancing is off. the whole system is very flawed, the different starting decks kinda sucked and at some point i just lost interest in it why recommend? bc its unique enough for yall to try it out, if its your kinda game or if it isnt1 found this helpful
This was a fantastic little puzzle game. Each class had completely different sets of cards and unlockable starting decks that were interesting and thoughtful. There also wasn't just one or two winning stratergies for every class but many different possibilities that would work. If I was to have any critique it would be that card in the Warlock deck that revolved around managing HP loss seemed to have the least synergy with other cards and felt a little underbaked. That being said there were many other ways to build a deck with that class. Great work!
Really fun, strategic, innovative little rogue lite gem! Really liked it and enjoyed my time with it!
