Ax Roguelike for iPhone

Deck-building roguelike game for mobile

Ax Roguelike is a premium strategy game by developer Katsunori Sasamoto and is a deck-building action-adventure with roguelike elements. In it, players will go on various skirmishes with the goal of defeating all enemies and conquering bases to use as their own. The gameplay revolves around tactical turn-based combat that lets them fully strategize for each battle.

Devise and conquer

In Ax Roguelike, you basically go on siege attacks on bases. Each stage features multiple areas divided into branching paths. Each choice would have to battle enemies, open treasure chests, or visit the shop to buy items as everything culminates in a boss battle at the end of the level. A unique element in the game is the ability to stack three skills and release them for one turn.

As you win battles and gain more gold, you'll be able to upgrade your base to unlock various perks like crafting better weapons, training to increase your stats, and modifying your skills and gear to suit different enemies and situations. One thing to note is that the game has a very steep learning curve, which will put off some players initially.

Complex but intriguing

To sum up, Ax Roguelike is one of the more complex and deeply strategic games out right now, mixing tactical combat, deck-building, and roguelike elements into an experience that hardcore fans of the genre will enjoy. This is for those who are looking for quick action, but learning the ropes, so to speak, will be quite worth it.
