Build a deck of spells, create devastating synergies and defeat The Lightning Struck King.
We combined deckbuilding and spacial puzzles to create The Lightning Struck Orphan.
It is Tetris/Patchwork meets Slay the Spire.
Build a powerful deck of spells and go on a pilgrimage through the gothic city of Akastel.
Each spell takes up space on your board, forcing you to optimize and make difficult decisions on what to place and in what order.
You'll feel creative, smart, and occasionally very powerful when you unleash devastating combos on the creatures of Akastel.
