Protector of Lyrioneth

Hi there! I'm a solo developer who has been working on this game since 2022. My goal is to bring you a fantasy RPG that combines cozy pixel art graphics with card-based combat. Thanks for being here!

The peaceful village of Lyrioneth is shaken when its Protector, Arruin, mysteriously disappears. As his young and inexperienced student, the heavy duty to defend your home now abruptly falls upon you.
While you must step up to protect the village from ruthless bandits and dangerous creatures, your true quest is much deeper. You must uncover how and why your mentor disappeared. Face epic bosses, survive a perilous fantasy world, and unravel the dark mystery behind his sudden disappearance.

An orphan who found his only family in Protector Arruin, Lyndor always dreamed of defending Lyrioneth by his mentor's side. With Arruin gone, he is left entirely alone and thrust into a role he isn't quite ready for. Despite his inexperience, Lyndor must find his courage and do his best to protect the only home he has ever known.

Engage in strategic, turn-based battles where every move counts. Build your ultimate deck. Master your strategy using three distinct types of cards:
🔴 Damage Cards: Strike your enemies using Neutral attacks, or exploit their weaknesses using 7 distinct elements: Fire, Water, Grass, Rock, Lightning, Ice, and Wind.
🔵 Endurance Cards: Vital for your survival. Use these to block incoming damage, restore your HP, and fortify your defenses.
🟣 Special Cards: Turn the tide of battle with powerful utility effects.
