Rendsword by Powerdive Games

There are tales of a magical blade hidden deep within a forest known as the Rendsword- a weapon so powerful it can cut the very words themselves.  Yet those who wish to claim the Rensword must face a trial that will challenge their combat prowess, ability to strategize, and vocabulary.  Will you be able to succeed where so many others have failed?

Spell Their Doom #

Rendsword is a roguelike deckbuilding word game where players assemble a deck of letter cards to take on a series of ever more powerful foes.  Make a word using the cards in your hand and the letter held by the enemy you face to attack, and do your best to outlast your foes through an onslaught of battles.  Add new cards to your deck with additional effects, and collect relics with passive abilities that change the way you play.
Features a variety of foes, unique boss fights, relics and cards to build a variety of playstyles, and a harder difficulty for those looking for a real challenge.
