Paladin's Oath

Paladin's Oath is a turn-based strategy game in which you play a paladin sworn to liberate the land and its cities from enemies from another plane. It combines RPG elements with light deck-building: you use cards, mana, recruitable followers and always-on Blessings to move, interact and battle. Randomness is limited and partly mitigated, giving you room to plan ahead.

Plan your turns

Movement, interactions and battles are all card-based, with resource-management and puzzle elements. You take your time to manage your cards and resources, then combine them to make the most of your hand. Battles are turn-based and allow unlimited undo and redo, so you can try different card configurations and outcomes without real-time pressure. A session typically lasts 3 to 5 hours, depending on the scenario.

Maps, decks and character combinations are randomized, creating different puzzles from one playthrough to another. You can configure scenarios, characters and decks to adjust the complexity and commitment, and character and Oath combinations support different playstyles, such as moving or recruiting more often, or using stronger cards more frequently. You start powerful and can grow stronger by combining your cards effectively.

Scenarios and tutorials

The game includes multiple scenarios, each with a different kind of challenge. Challenge-based tutorials introduce the main mechanics. Full modding support includes an online tool for creating content and Steam Workshop integration for downloading and sharing community content, including scenarios, maps and heroes.

Accessibility

The Windows version can be played entirely with a console and text-to-speech for blind and visually impaired players.
