What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I want to involve players early in the development of Thalenor's Descent to refine our core turn-based strategy mechanics, balance character progression, and gather crucial feedback. Developing transparently with the community ensures we can build the best possible tactical RPG experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“1 Year”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“• Additional rooms
• Additional hero types/classes
• Additional enemies
• Full campaign mode
• Achievements”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Thalenor's Descent features a fully playable core tactical loop with local couch co-op multiplayer, Steam Multiplayer and full controller support. The initial launch includes 6 Game board sizes for short and longer play lengths along with Explore and Build Modes, letting players experience the foundational mechanics, combat scaling, and progression system.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will actively engage with our players through the Steam Discussion Boards and our community channels. Player feedback on balancing, bug reports, and feature suggestions will directly influence our development roadmap as we introduce new classes, enemies, and content.”

About This Game

Explore. Defend. Clash. Survive the pressure.

A party of four is summoned into a dark-fantasy board of Prep, movement, and simultaneous card combat. Choose how you run, forge your decks, and hold the line — or lose everything.

How you play

Explore — Navigate a living labyrinth. Move, Rest, Shop, and Search — but watch the board. If invading pressure overruns you, the run ends.

Defend — Hold a wave arena around a center vortex. Stop enemies before they leak through. Every leak costs a party life. Tense, simultaneous Clashes — Play Attack, Block, Focus, and items at the same time as the enemy. No auto-battling. Read the fight. Commit. Survive. Forge your party — Build combat decks, upgrade core stats, spend tokens at the Forge, and hunt gems for Shop potions and specialty cards that carry you deeper.

Face Malakor — Clear locked dungeons held by Malakor’s Disciples, then confront the Dragon Sorcerer himself.

Play your way

Solo — Control all four heroes and orchestrate the full party yourself.

Co-op — Team up with friends on Steam to split the party and coordinate the defense of the realms. Game Rules — Tune each run: threat, difficulty, and optional rules for endless replayability.

Will you hold the line?

Thalenor's Descent blends board pressure with tight, simultaneous card combat. The rift is opening. Malakor is waiting. Let the descent begin.
