About Spelldrifter
Introducing Spelldrifter, a hybrid tactical role playing game and deck building game that features the best parts of both!
Spelldrifter combines the puzzle-like positional tactics of a turn-based RPG battle with the deep customizability and replayability of a collectible card game.
The result: a hybrid, wherein players must juggle the resources at their disposal using both time and space.
With Spelldrifter's innovative Tick System, players are challenged to think of card game strategy in a new light.
With each character action, the turns interweave on a single timeline.
With mastery of the timeline, players gain great advantage in battle and earn the satisfaction of decisive victory.
Select your party of heroes, build your decks, and embark on an adventure deep into Starfall as you search for the entrance to the mysterious Labyrinth!
Before you jump into Spelldrifter, get to know each of the playable characters.
Each character has a complex backstory and a unique set of cards that can aid you in defeating your enemies.
Introducing the Twice-Born warrior Korghan. Before being left for dead by his so-called companions, he was a man of greed and vanity. Now, he is using his second chance at life to gain answers and face his past. Korghan is an experienced warrior who deals powerful blows to your enemies. The Clobber card allows you to deliver multiple strikes at once by dealing 7 damage to a chosen enemy and 3 to any others in the nearby area.
Orphaned at a young age, Faydin was a lone wolf in Starfall. She was forced to become a smart and resilient fighter to survive the cut-throat streets. She seeks vengeance from those responsible for her situation. Faydin's strength and agility combined with Korghan's skills provide a powerful team who pummel your enemies until their defeat. Her Hew card deals a devastating seven damage to an enemy, bringing them to their knees.
Lavella the Star-Touched is a divine fighter with the mission of defeating evil powers. Blessed by the gods, she can provide healing and cast far range spells to aid in battle. Join her in her fight for peace and virtue! Lavella has the ability to call directly upon the gods to aid in battle. Her cards are long range and powerful. The Spear of Annox is a windup card that targets the enemy from afar and hits them with a crushing 8 damage.
Renna is an Embermage, whose quest for knowledge may lead her down a dangerous path. With her younger brother, Vann, she seeks to learn more about her abilities and utilize them outside of the classroom. Select Renna if you like to attack from afar. Use cards like Crush of Boulders, a long distance spell which drops powerful boulders and defeats your enemy, no matter how big.
Rohin is one of the most infamous thieves in all of Starfall, and when tasked with stealing from the biggest thug in the city, he’ll do whatever it takes to prove himself. He brings stealth and trickery to your battle. Rohin allows you to evade damage using dodge cards and stealthily attack you opponent. The Dodge Card avoids blows for a full turn, and the Aim from Within Card hits with 3 damage from afar.

I'm recommending this to support the developer because this game does some things very well and I hope they continue working on games like these. Here's what the game does well: - They solved a very hard UI problem, using cards and grid combat together better than any other game I've seen. - The game is visually quite attractive. Visual design of cards, including art, is stronger than other related games. - Its mechanics are innovative, and I applaud them for taking the risk and trying new things. But the game has some big issues that prevent me from enjoying it enough to play it to completion: - It's 50% text dialogue. This feels inappropriate. Turn-based strategy games are already slow, and this exacerbates the issue. The game is boring unless you click through all the dialogue, but then you don't have context to know what's going on. Someone should edit the script and delete three quarters of it, leaving only the bare bones of the story to swiftly move you from encounter to encounter. - It doesn't take enough advantage of being a card game. You can only play 1 card per turn (usually), you draw very infrequently, your deck is small, the total number of cards available to each c…112 found this helpful
It was probably more of a fresh idea back when it was called Labyrinth (funded via Kickstarter originally and released on Steam back then), before it got renamed and re-released on Epic and then re-released here on Steam again. Today (04/2023) though, just looking at the game and its mechanics it feels very dated, barebones, mobile gamey (messy UI and mediocre gfx) and did not grip me again as it did back in the day (2016 ish) Storytelling is not satisfactory, card mechanics are fuzzy and all over the place. Combat is not very tactical and it ultimately feels more like a puzzle without much else.46 found this helpful
Form your party of 3 with your choice of warrior, mage, priest, or rogue. Skills, attacks, spells, and equipment come in the from of cards that you'll build a deck with. Each member of your party has its own deck. As you progress through the game you'll earn more cards to build your party's decks with. Your choice of party members and deck build will dictate how quickly you'll progress through the game as the wrong choices can lead to your defeat; meaning you'll have to retry the mission. Movement and other game mechanics are reminiscent of a tactical RPG. Some time ago the developers had a digital CCG called "Labyrinth CCG". If you've played that game, and played when the developers had the PvE portion of the game running, then you'd be very familiar to this game's mechanics as they are the same. I quite enjoyed the Labyrinth CCG and was happy that the developers released this. It allowed me to experience all the fun I had playing the CCG. It is because of this experience that I can say that Spelldrifter is certainly worth the purchase if you feel this game might be right for you.15 found this helpful
I love turn based strategy and card games, but this one is a total waste of time. Repetitive and boring. Wish I could refund.12 found this helpful

This is a Puzzle game disguised as a card battler Beaten it, would recommend but ONLY at a discount & if your into puzzle games PROS: -Tons of cards & are quite varied, nice art quality & enemy design is quite varied too almost every level. -Game turns from a card battler into like a puzzle version which is refreshing to see but..... CONS: -It's a puzzle game disguised as turn based card battler, im sure im not only one got fooled. -Some levels you have to organize specific deck builds to win. -Can't save card builds at all which is a pain since this game relies swapping different builds. -There's no difficult setting which could of ease the frustration & honestly made this game of a lot more fun. -Music is lacking best turn it off & play battle music on youtube while playing this. Despite all CONS i see it's unique take worth to try only if your into puzzles & at a discount price. Funfact game originally started as "Labyrinth CCG" check it out here https://store.steampowered.com/app/412310/Labyrinth/
