The same goes for your attacks and enemies. Stacking blocks or adding in the barrier cards helps counteract this in a never-ending balance. To counteract this most creatures can attack multiple times in one move. Instead of blocking a set amount of damage a block will completely negate all damage. One substantial difference here is the block system. You can be at the mercy of that random nature but figuring out what works best in each situation can be so damned fun and the run-based nature with it is always available “save & quit” so that I can come back later makes this the type of game I will always have installed. I struggled mightily to beat the first boss with the initial warrior class, but on my second run with the summoner I not only beat him, but I destroyed them, and it felt incredible. Finding the right class, cards, and perks is the carrot-on-a-stick that makes these games so damned fun for me. Each run will see you level up with randomized perks and cards becoming available as you progress. Each card has a set base cost, but various per-run buffs can change that. Tainted Grail uses a similar energy system to other games of its kind. The bread and butter of any game like this though is that deck-building combat and the persistent upgrades you can acquire to hone that meta-breaking build to your heart’s content. Moving around and avoiding particularly nasty fights was a fun twist on things and the graphics look darned nice for the genre and price ($19.99 in the US). It is a fun system in comparison to the more text/2d based ones seen in titles I have reviewed such as Slay the Spire and Monster Hunter (both on Game Pass as well). This is a roguelike, so each area is procedurally generated, rather small, and is dotted with various helpful and combative items throughout. Multiple paths branch from this small town and a successful run sees you clearing all four. I found the summoner to be my go-to playstyle and I used him throughout much of my time with the game.Īfter an introduction with a horned creature, a large number of candles, and a city in disrepair the game begins. A warrior, a summoner, and a ranged focus archetype that each have three variants to them. To do this you have nine… well more like three classes at your disposal. The story is about Merlin and Arthur’s voyage to the mystical island of Avalon going horribly and resulting in a world/time destroying calamity that the player character needs to fix by beating four progressively more difficult beasts of legend. Your runs rarely get bogged down by this text, instead, you get hits whenever you complete an area, recruit a new member to your village, or find a special NPC/Area on the map. There is a large, well-written, and manageable amount of text as you play. One key way that developer Awaken Realms Digital differentiates this game from the rest is the focus on being a story-rich RPG alongside the roguelike deck-building action.

It is available now on Game Pass for console and PC and it is darned fun. Mystery abounds as you enter a world destroyed where time itself is broken, and you must traverse the Wyrdness to try and piece it back together. This is set in Avalon after all, the mythical area from the legends of King Arthur. The game features a fully 3D world, well-modeled enemies, a few friends, and lots and lots of mist. Originally released back in September of 2021 on Xbox, Tainted Grail: Conquest is a unique take on the roguelike deck builder.
