Galdr Inkblade

Galdr Inkblade is a word-based roguelite that combines strategic vocabulary combat with deckbuilding mechanics.

Spell words to unleash powerful attacks, build your arsenal of letter cards, and battle your way through increasingly dangerous enemies. Every word matters, and every decision could mean the difference between victory and defeat.

Inspired by classic word-battling adventures and modern deckbuilding roguelikes, Galdr Inkblade brings a fresh twist to both genres.

Fight with words Spell words from your hand of letter cards to attack. Longer and rarer words hit harder.

A huge dictionaryOver 300,000 playable words, each with its definition shown as you play.

Roguelike runsChoose your path across a branching map of fights, elites, merchants, rest sites, treasure and random encounters, with a boss at the end of every act.

Six charactersStart as the Knight and unlock five more, each with their own trait and perk.

Elemental letters Fire, frost, storm and venom cards burn, chill, shock and poison your enemies.

Creatures that fight backEnemies have their own movesets: they steal your cards, eat your vowels, curse your letters and guard against short words.

Relics, blessings and cursesBuild a run around them. Some change which words are worth playing, like double damage for short words or a bonus for nouns.

The Tome of LexivoreUnlock special letter cards between runs, build your Deck and bring your favorite cards into the next one.
