Lost For Swords

"Shockingly Brilliant Roguelike Deckbuilder." Lost for Swords was a complete blind buy — honestly, I bought it by mistake. Then I saw a bit of gameplay and figured, why not give it a shot? What followed completely stunned me. This game is special. It’s unlike any other roguelike deckbuilder I’ve played, managing to blend strategy, tension, and creativity into something that feels both fresh and addicting. At its core, it’s turn-based — but every single decision you make carries real weight. One misplay can cost you everything, and one clever combo can completely turn the tide. That sense of risk and reward makes every run feel meaningful, almost like a small story unfolding turn by turn. You’re constantly on edge, thinking two steps ahead, and that’s what makes it so engaging. There are multiple classes to experiment with, each with their own playstyle and personality, and the balance between them feels just right. What really blew me away was the sheer replayability — not only are the level designs fun and varied, but there’s a full-on level editor and even a multiplayer option. I genuinely didn’t expect that from an indie roguelike deckbuilder. The card synergy system is fantastic — combos feel satisfying and smart, not random or luck-based. It rewards experimentation in the best way possible. And despite its tactical depth, the game never feels punishing — it’s challenging, but fair, and every loss teaches you something new. Visually, it’s vibrant and charming, with a cute but clean art direction that keeps the atmosphere light while the combat stays intense. The sound design gives every action a satisfying punch, and while the soundtrack isn’t groundbreaking, it fits perfectly and keeps you immersed. Overall, Lost for Swords completely caught me off guard. It’s a masterfully balanced, highly replayable roguelike deckbuilder that nails both gameplay and personality. What started as an accidental purchase has turned into one of my favorite deckbuilders in years — and I honestly can’t recommend it enough.

游戏很好，就是不让sl，加个房间重开可以吗，明明新手教程里有这个功能的。很多时候因为不小心走错了一步导致辛苦运营一整把的游戏直接白玩，杀戮尖塔也允许sl啊，二代甚至为了让玩家能sl特意改了底层代码。 看了其他差评，感觉加入这个功能会好很多。什么时候加个单房间重开什么时候改好评吧。

旧游补评 49 游玩时期：2025 开盲盒+卡组构筑肉鸽，其实跟最近在玩的《卡片魔王：只剩个头！》类似，都是已知怪物攻击方式去判断每回合走法； -每关开始会将玩家的手牌也随机分散到地图上，虽然加强了肉鸽性但严重扰乱了通关难度，很多较胡的局也因此不得不看脸，个人认为算个阻止玩家爽的败笔； 话虽如此，在当时没出第四个角色的情况下也能达到25h的游玩时长，作为肉鸽的重复游玩价值还是不错的。

5×5のマスに敵と自身の両デッキが敷き詰められ、使用回数制限のある武器や防具などを拾いながらステージを攻略してゆくデッキ構築型ローグライク デッキ構築型ローグライク好きだけと、似たようなゲームばかりで飽きてきた人には是非遊んでもらいたい。とんでもない中毒性がある。一見詰将棋ゲームのように見えるが、レリックやデッキ構築の組み合わせでいろいろな攻略パターンを見いだせる。死ぬほどオススメ

Love this game! Simple to learn, hard to master, addictive.

[h1] 缝合了魔塔玩法的卡牌肉鸽 [/h1] 这款游戏大概玩了要6个小时，在传统卡牌肉鸽的基础上缝合了魔塔的部分玩法，比起卡牌肉鸽的构筑运营，更注重地图的资源管理。每一关会随机从卡组抽取一定数量的卡牌来构成地形，房间内的敌人、武器，防具、光环等卡牌都只有模糊的标识吗，要靠近后才能揭开卡牌进行互动。另外游戏还支持玩家自行创建关卡来让其他玩家进行挑战，整体体验下来质量还行，但希望后续制作组能再多更新一些新内容。 [b] 个人评分：7.8分 [/b]

7分（好游戏） ✅创新的卡牌走格子的探索玩法，直接增加了一个策略维度 ✅数值控制的非常好，很容易获得游戏体验 ❌这个玩法很明显策略深度受限于格子数量，一眼可以望到头，只能依靠更多样的卡牌和角色 ❌卡牌的战斗表现力天然劣势

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 of characters and strategies. It doesn't get old. My least favorite thing is losing at the very end of the last tower! I would also point out that there are a couple of minor bugs. One of the warlock achievements says "mage" in it, and the warlock is unable to go through advanced training. It's ok though, as long as you went through it with another character. I'd definitely recommend picking up this game. Then you can pick up a lot of emeralds in-game and put the merchants' kids through college.

今年玩过有点上头的独立游戏，希望未来加入更多新卡牌，新英雄和新地图~

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 isnt
