Dream Quest

Dream Quest is a roguelike deckbuilding game in which you explore randomly generated levels, fight monsters with cards and develop one of 13 classes. Runs last about 30 minutes, and each level can place you in a different setting: a wizard might explore a crypt, a warrior might find themselves underwater, or an assassin might stalk a volcanic wasteland. As your characters progress, they earn achievements that make future runs a little easier or more interesting.

Classes and levels

The 13 classes have different play styles. The randomly generated levels vary in both setting and the challenges you encounter as you explore.

Card combat

Your abilities come from a deck of cards that you build as you gain power. A thief, for example, begins with several Slice cards and a Backstab, and can learn defensive moves such as Dodge or finishing moves such as Coup de Grace. Choosing which cards to add is central to combat: good choices help you cut through monsters, while poor ones can leave you stumbling.

The game contains over 300 cards, including defensive options such as Kick and Armor, and powerful cards such as Meteor and Curse of Doom. More than 70 monsters are recorded in the Bestiary as you encounter them.

Ongoing progression

Achievements earned by your characters affect future runs. Everything is unlocked through play, with no in-app purchases. The game offers enough content for easily 50 hours of play to see the majority of it.
