Warlords

Wishlist Warlords on Steam

Every card is an army

Warlords is a roguelite deckbuilder where your cards muster, march, flank, and die gloriously on a living battlefield. Draft themed packs, plan your deployment, slam End Turn, and watch the clash auto-resolve. Climb a branching war map, break six act bosses, and take the crown — solo, or in online co-op with up to four warlords.

Summon them where they stand

You drop each card straight onto the battlefield, and a squad of soldiers, a spell, a trap, or a siege engine springs to life right where it lands. Wall a chokepoint, flank the line, screen your archers, and let the battle play out in real time.

Stack the odds

Spells and statuses turn a losing clash. Rain meteors on a packed line, then stack Poison, Bleed, Fragile, and Charm until the enemy melts before your commander ever takes a hit. 269 relics and a 33-potion belt bend the rules further, every run.

Draft your warband

Every run opens with a draft: 3 themed card packs out of 21 — armored legions, spider broods, walking bombs, con artists, love sorcery, splitting slimes, rising ghosts — and together they become your entire card pool. Even your commander is assembled from the packs you pick, so no two runs look or play the same. Five playable warlords each open the game their own way.

Break the bosses

Every act boss hides a signature phase that flips the fight. Cut Rex Mortifer to half health and the dead rise; strike Verdy B. Queen and the whole garden erupts. Six bosses across three acts stand between you and the crown.

March as a war council

Two to four warlords, one road. Everyone drafts their own packs and plays their own hand — but you share one battlefield, one map, and one fate. Vote your route, suggest picks in a friend's draft, scrawl battle plans straight onto the field, and hold the line together: the clash begins when every crown is ready.

Tempt fate

The road between battles bites back. 129 hand-written events — haunted shrines, crooked gamblers, going-away gifts from Uncle Jim, and a wheel of fate that can crown you or curse you. Read the room, weigh the odds, and decide what your army is willing to pay.

No two fields

Twelve battlefields across three regions — the Verdant Reach, the Ember Wastes, and Frostspire. Green frontiers, amber woods, volcanic scars, salt flats, frozen wastes and crystal caverns, each with its own hazards and a battle-wide condition to fight over.

Forty-one lords bar the road

Slime tides and spider broods, con artists and brass colossi, banshee choirs and the Pale Rider. Every one fields its own army, fights its own way, and hides its own dirty trick. Fell them all.
