The Crypt Caster is a roguelite, turn-based game with a twist. 
You must type magic words in order to create spells to defeat your foes!

Collect new words as you progress between randomized battles, type them at the right order to conjure different spells and effects, but...
Be aware of enemie's elements, because every element brings advantages and disadvantages to any attack.


Just to have some nice bullet points:

  • 20 different words to learn;
  • A single word can change de outcome of the spell;
  • Eye-catching effects! (。◕‿◕。)
  • Think and type fast before your breath ends and your turn is over;
  • Currently, 5 types of enemies (with more to come);

HOW TO PLAY?

  • In the main menu, select a new game;
  • Choose your starting deck wisely (hover over the words to know their effect);
  • In battle: observe the rounded icons, they represent your current known words;
  • Type words at the right order, following this structure:
    • INTENT >> ELEMENT >> MODIFIER (optional) >> ENEMY NAME;
  • Keep an eye to your breath (green bar), that's your turn timer;
  • Be careful with the enemies element type, check the wheel of interactions in the help icon (?);
  • Cast a lot of spells fast and defeat your foes;
  • Learn a new word to your spellbook;
  • Now reach the end of the Crypt... what might be there waiting for you?
