## Description

Lost For Swords is a roguelike deck-building game where the cards in your deck shape the rooms you explore. New Warlock hero, ascend the tower, equip weapons and armor, cast spells and scrolls, trigger auras, and fight monsters in tactical turn-based combat. The catch: equipment you pick can only be used once, so plan your resources carefully to reach the next floor. Your equipment and dungeon cards are shuffled together, creating a unique challenge on every run.

Between floors you can upgrade your equipment to strengthen your deck and uncover synergies between cards, building the strongest possible strategy to conquer higher floors.
