Trials of Fire

Trials of Fire, also known as Trials of Fire: Tactical Roguelike, is a blend of tactical RPG and card game set in a harsh, post-apocalyptic fantasy world. You lead a small squad on a survival mission, exploring a vast map and battling enemies in turn-based combat using cards. It’s part strategy, part deck-building, and all about making smart choices when the odds aren’t always in your favor. Ever thought a card game could feel so tactical? Well, now you know.

What’s this game about?

In Trials of Fire, you command three heroes with unique abilities across a ruined landscape. Your goal: gather resources and survive random events as you move from one location to another. The gameplay switches between an overhead map and tactical battles on hex grids, which keeps things interesting.

Need a challenge? You got it. Each hero prefers different weapons and skills, so mixing your team well can change your playstyle entirely. Oh, and lesson learned: always carry a spare sword. You never know when you’ll need it.
