About The Swashbugglers
The Swashbugglers is a cartoon-style 2D roguelike auto-chess game built around tactical strategy and a lighthearted tone. In the late years of a Reptilian Dynasty, corrupt officials and local despots collude in evil deeds as disasters erupt. You recruit reptilian heroes from the greenwood forests and build a team to defeat the leaders causing the chaos within a time limit.
Build your team
Battles let you develop your characters’ skills, equipment and stele inscriptions. Hundreds of unusual equipment pieces and multi-dimensional skill progression give you options to mix and match builds and test different strategies.
Prepare for battle
You arrange your formation before each fight and need to understand how skills work. Blades and bullets can also hit allies standing behind their intended targets, so positioning matters.
Enemies and challenges
The enemies include cockroach swarms, venomous mosquito soldiers and manipulated giant flesh worms. The game features basic enemies adapted to different terrains and boss leaders with their own mechanics. Enemies can also receive randomly attached curses, adding combined challenges throughout the adventure.
