Abalon

Abalon (formerly Summoners Fate) is a roguelike adventure that combines tactical turn-based combat with card strategy. You guide Summoners and their allies through quests across five worlds, seeking secrets, cards and powerful team members while facing enemies and bosses.

Worlds and encounters

Abalon’s tabletop-inspired worlds range from frozen peaks and barren deserts to colorful woodland and dingy dungeons. Each has its own events, characters to meet, mysteries to uncover and bosses to defeat. Exploring takes place in real time: you can find lore scrolls, shop for cards and take part in events, including a goblin’s birthday party where you need gold.

Events draw on Dungeons and Dragons-style decisions, with outcomes determined by a D20 roll. More than 50 characters appear through world events, and all can join your adventure. You can guide 20 Summoners, each with unique abilities to master.

Tactical combat

Combat is turn-based and takes place on arena-style maps, where positioning and the environment shape your tactics. You can equip armor from a statue during a fight, drive enemies into spike walls or transform a tree behind enemy lines into an ally. Choosing how to control the battlefield is part of each encounter.

Cards and classes

You collect cards throughout your adventure. Each Summoner is linked to two classes from Arcane, Celestial, Nature, Void and Chaos, with different playstyles: Chaos includes fire area-of-effect spells for heavy damage, while Arcane lets you mind-control enemies. Your deck is capped at 20 cards, so collected cards do not take up space in your current build. To change your playstyle during an adventure, you can roast marshmallows at a campfire and talk with the Cosmic Tortoise.

Battle Mode

Battle Mode is a PvE arena where you build a constructed deck from cards discovered on your adventures. Take that deck and two allied units into battles against the toughest foes. Abalon has over 400 cards to collect.
