Overview
Papercraft Tactics is a unique roguelike experience that blends run-based gameplay with grid-inventory mechanics and turn-based combat. Instead of simply equipping items, players must strategically "wire" them together within their backpack. By connecting gear like swords, potions, wands, and shields, players create cascading effects and powerful synergies that activate each turn. The core loop involves drafting new items, shopping, and meticulously rearranging your inventory to create increasingly complex and self-sufficient builds. During combat, players can influence the flow with clutch card plays to tweak attack queues, remove debuffs, or force specific triggers.
