Grim Siege

Grim Siege is a one-versus-one strategic card game set in a dark fantasy world. Each player has a tower, with a wall standing in front of it that the opponent must break through first. Every turn involves a choice between defence, growth and attack, with the aim of raising one’s own tower while destroying the enemy’s.

The game’s economy uses three resources. Stone is used for defence, walls and shields. Blood is used for magic, statuses and the tower. Slaves are used for aggression and fast strikes. Players manage their income and decide where to spend, and the game includes an inflation mechanic that limits how long resources can be hoarded. There are six classes: Siege Master, which has no bonuses or weaknesses; Plague Lord, which focuses on rot and slow decay but deals weak direct damage; Zealot Cultist, which damages itself to strengthen its attacks; Warlord, which focuses on fast attacks and striking first; Architect, which converts defence into tower growth; and Dusk Baron, which steals from the opponent. Players build decks around their chosen class, and decks can add junk cards to the opponent’s deck or use rot and madness against them.

A status effect system includes Rot, Veil, Silence, Chains, Shield, Spikes, Cleanse, Madness and Ward, which can be combined and countered. Game modes include Versus AI with several difficulty levels, a Saga roguelite mode, and a story mode listed as coming soon. Online play offers quick matches and ranked PvP against other players, along with private lobbies that friends can join using an invite code.
