spire of sorcery

Turn-based RPG Spire of Sorcery is now available in Steam Early Access. Combine spellcasting, alchemy and equipment to lead a party of runaway mages in a quest to help a sentient magical citadel mend the broken world of Rund.

From developer Charlie Oscar:

Explore the world, and use your spells, alchemy, and gear to engage with the realms of life, death, and chaos to help the sentient to confront your enemies and gather resources and knowledge to increase your power. Manage your party, taking their mood and personal traits into account; find new members and level them up to make your cabal more powerful. In combat, cast your spells using a unique deck-building system, and empower your mages with alchemic potions and special equipment.

Spire of Sorcery mixes turn-based strategy, RPG, exploration and roguelite elements: the world of Rund is larger than what you can explore in a single play-through, and every challenge and situation you will find in the game has alternative solutions.
