Wretched

A WORLD ON THE BRINK OF EXTINCTIONThe world is dying, ravaged by an enemy known only as the Blight.An ancient being of immense power has apparently decided to do something about it.SMALL BATTLEFIELD. BIG DECISIONS.Wretched is a turn-based tactical deckbuilder with a strong focus on positioning.Fight along a single line where one step can change everything. Read enemy intentions, find your opening and turn a difficult position into a deeply satisfying sequence of unfortunate events.Move into range. Kick an enemy out of it. Slip behind another. Chain your skills together and make every point of energy count.A RIDICULOUS ARSENAL.Master 75 skills, from punches and kicks to swords and guns. Build a deck whose moves work together, giving you ways to reposition, defend and deliver serious damage.Attach up to three augmentations to compatible skills. Add damage, knockback, protection, extra draws or energy—or reduce a skill’s energy cost. A familiar move can become the centrepiece of a very different strategy.YOU HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE.It has simply been a while.Begin each run with a 16-skill deck. Discover techniques along the way and preserve one skill per run in Memory. Between runs, use your available replacement slots to swap remembered skills into your starting deck.Your augmentations disappear when the run ends. Your memories stay.Gradually, the next attempt becomes less “let’s see what happens” and more “I remember how this goes.”HORDES OF ENEMIES.They have different attacks, different tricks and a shared enthusiasm for making your day worse.Learn their intentions, disrupt their plans and adapt your approach as you face powerful bosses. Travel through grasslands, deserts and frozen landscapes, choosing routes and upgrades on your way to a final confrontation with the Blight Lord himself.AN ANCIENT BEING. A FRESH PROBLEM.Explore a colourful pixel-art world accompanied by relaxing music and a pair of gods watching events unfold with increasing interest.
