Every war in Spirefall ends the same way: two spent commanders, overturned tankards, and a bard insisting he won on points.

Battles here are fought on tabletops, not battlefields - reputation is earned one Gauntlet at a time. Pick your banner. Sharpen your deck. Take a seat. The tavern is watching.

The Land of Spirefall

Between the spires and the fall line - where mountains meet sky and the ale flows slightly faster than good sense - lies a kingdom of rival factions, ancient grudges, and suspiciously competitive innkeepers.

Merchant princes count coin at one table. Technocrat artificers calibrate their contraptions at the next. Bards lie about everything at the table after that. And somewhere in the corner, someone is absolutely certain the stew was fine on Tuesday.

(It was not fine on Tuesday.)

You are a traveler with ambition, a starter deck, and just enough dignity to lose it gracefully in public.

Prove Your Mettle. (Yes, Mettle. We Checked.)

Glory in Spirefall doesn't begin with a siege. It begins with a Gauntlet - a branching run of card battles, strange encounters, and shops that overcharge you with a smile.

Sit down. Outlast local champions, elite patrons, and the tavern keeper's "absolutely unbeatable" regular.

Stand up. Collect Emblems, refine your deck, and unlock new commanders, fortresses, and cards that change how the next run feels.

Win and the room goes quiet in the respectful way. Lose and the room goes quiet in the other way. Either way, you're one run closer to the kind of name people whisper when you walk in.

Six Banners. Three Seats at the Table.

Six factions, each with its own economy, its own subsystem, and its own opinion of you. Three are playable in the free demo - the rest are waiting in the full game.

• Archmage Technocrats — energy, spell tempo, and a fortress that charges a beam turret every time you fire it

• The Merchant Coast — gold, contracts, and a trophy case that only fills with the heads you were actually paid for

• Guild of the Inglorious Bards — instruments that rotate every turn, rewriting what your board does before you have finished reading it

Your commander is your deck's captain. Your fortress is the flag you plant in battle. Over 200 cards across the game, endless combinations of guile and grit.

Nobody Wins on Points

Units clash, fortresses take the overflow, and every card you play announces itself across the table. Spell speeds, guardians, magic mirrors, and a stack you can respond to when it matters.

The House Always Has a Beast

Clear the tables and the Tavern Keeper stops being polite. She has held the last seat for a very long time, and she has never needed a bouncer - because what she keeps in the water beneath the floorboards does the job.

The Kraken does not attack. It holds. And then it throws whatever it is holding straight through your front gate.

Built for Steam Deck

Full controller support, gamepad navigation through every menu, and a layout that compresses to Deck geometry instead of shrinking into unreadability. Play a full Gauntlet run on the couch, on the bus, or at an actual tavern, which we are legally obligated not to encourage.

Features

• Roguelite Gauntlet runs — branching paths, evolving decks, Emblem modifiers, and tavern bosses worth the story you'll tell badly later

• Six distinct factions — asymmetric resources, unique subsystems, and commanders with enough personality to start their own tavern

• Over 200 cards — fortresses, structures, spell speeds, unit abilities, and board positioning that reward planning and punish the overconfident

• "One more run" progression — unlock commanders, fortresses, and cards that open new strategies, not just bigger numbers

• Native Steam Deck support — full controller navigation and a HUD that fits the screen

• Casual comfort — you're playing a card game inside a living tavern culture, and the game is in on the joke

Pull Up a Chair

The free demo puts three banners in your hands and the whole Gauntlet in front of you. It costs you nothing but an evening and possibly your composure.

We are building this in the open, and the players in our have moved more balance numbers than any spreadsheet we own. Tell us what felt unfair. We are listening, and we patch fast.

So swing your ale and raise your voice.

In Spirefall, we make our choice!
