ABOUT THIS GAME

Glyph Gambit is a turn-based tactical roguelite inspired by chess, Dark Souls, and grid-based dungeon crawlers. Each run challenges you to navigate dangerous tactical arenas where every move matters and every decision can end your journey. Your objective is clear:

Destroy the enemy King before they destroy yours.

You control multiple upgradable pieces on compact battle grids, facing distinct enemy factions with their own movement patterns and threats. Equip offensive Edges, defensive Shields, and powerful Gems and Items to shape your build and survive deeper into the gauntlet.

At the heart of the game are Glyphs—the soul of your run. Glyphs empower your piece, unlock new abilities, and fuel long-term progression. But they are fragile. If you fall in battle, your Glyphs drop on that level. To reclaim them, you must return to that same encounter and clear it. Fail again before recovery, and those Glyphs are lost forever.

Tactical Combat on Compact Grids

Fight on small, focused encounter boards where positioning is everything. Predict enemy intent, manage danger zones, and outmaneuver rival Kings. Every run presents new tactical puzzles that reward smart planning and bold plays.

A Souls-Inspired Challenge Loop

Death resets the run—but permanent upgrades, unlocked items, and new Glyphs progressively expand your options. Each attempt pushes you further as you refine your strategy and piece loadout.

Distinct Enemy Factions & Bosses

Face Goblin raiders, Sage spellcasters, Usurpers, Plague creatures, Warlords, and ancient Tyrant bosses—each with unique attack shapes and movement patterns that challenge you to adapt and survive.
