What if you combine the best of story-driven RPGs with the strategic decision-making of cardgames? Dawncaster was created to answer that question, containing over 1100 handcrafted cards and over 100 unique challenges designed by veterans of the cardgame genre.
Dawncaster | The RPG Cardventure
SteamThe realm of Aethos lies corrupted. The legendary Dawnbringer has vanished into the twisted lands of Umbris. A desperate plea has gone out to all who will defend Aethos in its final stand against the tides of darkness.
Will you answer the call out of duty as a noble Knight? Bring your lust for battle as an unstoppable warrior? Deploy your sharp mind as a cunning rogue or any of the other classes available in Dawncaster? Your choices will determine not just your survival—but the fate of a world desperate for salvation.

Create your character, then level up and choose the talents that define your approach. Specialize in one area to overwhelm enemies with focused power, or diversify your strategy to withstand any threat - the choice is yours, for better or worse…

In Dawncaster your strategy is always subject to change. Add, alter, copy, upgrade or remove cards as you progress and try to go toe-to-toe with the perils of Aethos. Adapt, develop or fall victim to the challenging encounters designed by veterans of the cardgame genre.

Discover the fate of the missing Dawnbringer, and the tragic history of a realm caught in the struggle between light and darkness. Find the twisted roots of its troubles and vanquish it through strategy, foresight and perhaps a bit of luck.

Dawncaster offers a true roguelike experience to ensure no two runs play alike. Each class offers a radically different approach to every challenge. Unlock new starting decks, adjust difficulty to push your limits, and discover just how deep your strategic mastery runs. When you finally conquer one path, countless others await.

Play Dawncaster in the alternative fastphased Bossrun draft mode called the Sunforge, discover hidden bosses, play weekly challenges to compete against the very best players for points or enable the Infernal Invasions for an even more challenging experience! Dawncaster truly offers endless opportunities to develop and refine the deck-crafting skills of any card-game enthusiast.
