Forge the Fates is a grid-based roguelike deckbuilder that blends card play with spatial strategy. Runes are dealt onto a persistent grid rather than into a traditional hand, making positioning, timing, and tactics the core of every decision.

Players are encouraged to think several moves ahead, setting up deliberate chains instead of reacting turn by turn.
​
Combat features a match-3 system where aligning three runes of the same type triggers powerful bonuses. 
​
After each battle, a new rune is added to the deck, ensuring every run evolves differently.

Shops, magical sites, treasures, and talismans allow players to empower, duplicate, and transform their runes, while hero progression unlocks new abilities that carry forward into future runs. 
​
Presented in a 2D pixel-art dark fantasy style with a custom soundtrack, Forge the Fates tells its story through atmosphere, combat, and progression rather than dialogue.

With 3 unique heroes, over 200 distinct runes, more than 60 enemies, and a wide range of magical items, Forge the Fates is built for deep replayability and constant discovery.
