Toads Of The Bayou is Into The Breach but with aristocratic, pipe smokin’ toads (of the bayou)

Toads of the Bayou

Lead a group of toads as they fight against Baron Samedi’s evil forces in a challenging mix of turn-based tactics and roguelike deckbuilding. Synergise card effects, gain the aid of powerful allies and engage in strategic combat to thrive in the cursed bayou.

In all honesty, Toads Of The Bayou could have been several notches less ribbet-ing than its Steam demo ended up being, because its stylised pixel fly-snatchers are just that good. There’s only one of the three characters available in the freebie (one of the others is a toad nun with a shotgun), but he’s got a little cutlass, a flintlock pistol, and a can-do attitude - at least when it comes to either stabbing or shooting things. The game itself is a little bit deckbuilder, a little bit Into The Breach: turn based strategy with perfect information and various tricks you can pull to make enemies hit each other instead of the thing you’re trying to protect. Indulge yourself on the gourmet tray-tray below.
