About This Game

Zodiac Tale is a single-player roguelite deckbuilder auto-battler built around the twelve animals of the zodiac.

Recruit animals from the shop and place them on your board. Battles play out on their own, so make your animals stronger every round to prepare for them.

SHAPE YOUR OWN SHOP

In most auto-battlers, the shop decides at random what you get.

In Zodiac Tale, you decide what the shop offers.

Add the animals you want to your shop pool, and steer every reroll toward the build you're chasing.

EXPLOSIVE SYNERGIES

No PvP balance to hold you back. Focus on the joy of completing a build that's entirely your own.

For example, take a Rat that strikes the enemy whenever an ally falls. Add another Rat that empowers your team whenever a Rat deals damage, and every fallen ally makes the rest of your board stronger.

Push your combo as far as it will go, and see for yourself where it ends.

COMMAND THE TWELVE TRIBES

Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Chicken, Dog, and Pig — each tribe carries its own unique synergies.

Go deep into one tribe for a snowballing build, or mix several to uncover hidden combos where their powers overlap.

EVERY DUNGEON TWISTS THE RULES

Each new dungeon brings its own gimmick — enemies that keep getting stronger, a shop that pays interest on your leftover gold, and risky quests with rewards on the line.

The build that swept everything before might fall apart under new rules. Read the rules, rework your board, and find the best strategy for this place alone.

And in every world, one dungeon holds a giant boss waiting to put you to the test.

WHAT'S NEXT
