Infest

Infest is a roguelike deckbuilder with turn-based battles and real-time physics. You build a deck and play cards to change the battlefield, improve your stats and damage enemies through pixel-by-pixel effects.

Cards and combat

Fire, oil, ice, poison gas, water, seeds and growing plants are among the environmental elements you must navigate. Their interactions can trigger chain reactions: fire can burn, ice can freeze, and other effects can corrode, shock or melt. You customize your deck and upgrade cards as you go, balancing it to handle different environmental effects. Foresight matters, whether you are melting ice or stopping mutant plants.

You deal damage one card at a time. Once your card stack is exhausted, enemies take their turn: they can create defensive barriers, throw damage cards at you, buff themselves and heal others. You need to anticipate their moves and choose your cards accordingly.

Paths and progression

Each run takes you along a path through an alien universe, and runs differ from one another. Along the way, you can encounter playable levels, shops, hospitals and dozens of bonus challenges. Choosing the right route is part of surviving.

You can also develop cards through an advanced tech tree. The game includes roguelite-style permadeath, dozens of playable cards, perks and items, and dozens of procedurally generated playable levels. It also has achievements and Steam Cloud support.
