Story

In Roots & Ruin—a deckbuilding roguelike puzzle game inspired by Chess and Inscryption—the forest has fallen under the spell of an evil necromancer, corrupting its once-vibrant wildlife into horrifying creatures of madness. 

As the forest’s last defender, you must assemble an arsenal of loyal beasts, each with unique abilities, and combine them with powerful magic and enchanted upgrades to stand against the relentless tide of corruption. Adapt your tactics, uncover powerful synergies, and confront the escalating corruption head-on in your quest to save the forest!
