Overview

Starwood: Lantern invites players into a day-based, asynchronous fantasy autobattler experience, drawing inspiration from popular titles like Hearthstone Battlegrounds and The Bazaar. The core gameplay loop revolves around choosing a hero, recruiting a warband of minions and spells at your Camp, strategically arranging them in a seven-slot formation, and then sending them into automated combat against other players' runs. Each in-game day presents crucial decisions: should you spend your resources now to upgrade your Camp, pursue powerful synergies between your units, or focus on reinforcing the formation that's currently keeping you alive?

Highlights

  • Genre Blend: Combines Auto Battler, Card Battler, and Turn-Based Strategy elements for deep tactical gameplay.
  • Hero-Centric Design: Features 45 unique heroes, each with distinct powers and starting strategies, allowing for diverse playstyles.
  • Asynchronous Combat: Engage in strategic battles against rival runs in a day-based, asynchronous format.

Who It's For

This game is ideal for players who enjoy strategic planning, deck-building (in a sense, with minion and spell recruitment), and the thrill of automated combat where pre-battle decisions are paramount. Fans of autobattlers and card battlers looking for a fresh fantasy take with a roguelite feel will find plenty to explore.
