If you're looking for a strategic deckbuilder that emphasizes positioning on a single-line battlefield, Wretched is a must-play.

Details

Overview

Wretched drops you into a world on the brink of extinction, ravaged by a mysterious enemy called the Blight. An ancient being of immense power has decided to intervene, and you're part of that plan.

Developed and published by Spellcraft Publishing, this turn-based tactical deckbuilder launched on Steam on November 5, 2026, and it's already making waves with its unique single-line battlefield.

Highlights

Single-Line Combat: The entire battle takes place along one line, where positioning is everything. A single step can change the flow of a fight, forcing you to think several moves ahead.
75 Skills to Master: From punches and kicks to swords and guns, you'll build a deck from a ridiculous arsenal of 75 skills. Chain them together to create devastating combos and make every point of energy count.
Read Enemy Intentions: The game emphasizes reading your opponents' moves. Find the opening, kick an enemy out of position, slip behind another, and turn a tough spot into a satisfying sequence of unfortunate events for your foes.

Who It's For

If you enjoy turn-based tactics with a roguelike deckbuilding twist, Wretched is right up your alley. The pixel-art visuals and 2D presentation give it a classic feel, while the strategic depth will appeal to players who love planning every move.

It's a single-player experience with full controller support, so you can settle in for a long session. The game also supports multiple languages, including English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese, making it accessible to a global audience.
