Classical survival RPG but, you are the NPC AI. Build spell from deck scrolls, spawn minions.

Driven by the inner hatred to all living, you are set to destroy righteous heroes by the swarm of minions. Green scrolls are used to select tiles on which to deploy your units, Red scrolls determine which troops to use and Grey scrolls invoke elemental wrath upon the ground. Be careful, you only have 7 turns to use scrolls.


Updgrade you deck with new scrolls and summons, choose wisely. Use  weakness of the heroes.  No hero must survive!

Game for GMTK 2023, Roles Reversed. I made this game alone for 36 hours. Music was written by me and polished by my friend.

The game created on pure HTML5 with PIXI.JS.

I wanted to add more mechanics: hero loot and level up; Double Scroll - double all the effects; Grow Scroll - grows minnion; better AI, evasion, particles. But there are to many time wasted to test and balance the game.
