Grim Hand
Grim Hand is a dark fantasy roguelike deckbuilder built for phones: portrait, one-handed, fully playable offline. The weapon you carry decides your hand of cards, so a bow and a sword play like two different games, and rebuilding your loadout each run builds a new deck. Enemies fight in formation across front and back rows; you can snipe their leaders, sweep the front line, or break their morale so the survivors flee. The fully voiced four-act story follows a blacksmith who can't feed his family and takes up the only work left to him.
