Orc Tavern

Orc Tavern is a deckbuilding roguelike, made for the 7 Day Roguelike competition.

Inspiration

Orc Tavern is a 'traditional' roguelike in the sense of: top-down, turn-based, text graphics, procgen dungeons, bump-to-attack and stairs leading deeper into the dungeon. The deckbuilding is based on the Dominion card game, where players receive one action per turn with the option to take many turns through clever plays and purchases.

Gameplay

Each turn you can play 1 action card, then enemies will act. Most action cards allow the player to move like different chess pieces. Cards that give +Actions allow you to play additional action cards before enemies can act. 

Attack cards don't cost an action. Each attack card gives +damage to the next attack. Attacks are executed like a traditional roguelike, by trying to move into a space occupied by an enemy.

Each time you go down stairs, one new card will be unlocked for purchase. You can purchase it as many times as you want.

How To Play

Most actions are executed with a mouse.

Press ‘>’ and ‘<’ to go down and up stairs, respectively.

We plan to improve keyboard support.

State of the Game

It’s almost finished! There are bugs in some of our cards, resulting in only two additional cards being unlockable at the time of 7drl submission. We plan to fix this shortly.

There are also some bugs in how movement works. We plan to have this fixed within a day

Currently there is no ‘end’ to the game. You can fight your way through dungeons, dive down through the levels, and improve your deck. 

Next Steps

Actually embrace the theme of an orc tavern

Make progression of depths, such as tavern area, rented rooms area, storage area, and some kind of cursed basement
