A downloadable game for Windows

Ghostwarden

Enter the flying crypt to capture wayward spirits, build your deck, and defeat the boss! Explore a top down map, collect cards or remove them from your arsenal deckbuilder-style, use your blood & stealth to defeat enemies.

  • Choose whether to make noise or act stealthily when fighting - some cards may enhance your ability to sneak, while others might enhance your ability to go all out!
  • Balance your health - spells require blood, which may result in hard hitting combos or an untimely demise when your stealth runs out.
  • Play to your relics and control the cards in your deck to catch ghosts before they know what hit them, but beware the final battle!

How To Play:

Navigate on the map defeating enemies, collecting relics, and visiting blood shrines to remove cards from your deck that don't follow your strategy.

Start each battle with 5 stealth, 3 Energy and and 30 health. Energy is replenished every turn and is required to play cards.  Health is replenished at the end of every battle. As long as you have 1 or more Stealth, enemies will not attack- but some cards make noise, reducing your Stealth, and Stealth dwindles by 1 every round.

Battle your way through the Crypt collecting cards and defeat the boss!

Controls:

  • WASD to move on the map.
  • Click and drag cards into play to play them when in battle.
  • When choosing a card to discard, click on cards to discard them. You can click them again to return them to your hand. Press "Discard" when you have decided.
