Tactical Positioning: Master the Battlefield

Positioning is a core element of Everwayne's turn-based combat system. As enemies attack, they target specific grid cells on the battlefield, not just your characters. To avoid damage or seize an advantage, you can use the Exile mechanic to tactically reposition characters, making positioning critical for survival and success in each battle.

Play Solo or Lead a Squad up to Four

You can choose to start your journey with a single character or control a full squad of four. This tactical roguelite allows you to revive fallen characters during a run using special items and resources. The flexibility to switch between solo and squad modes ensures diverse gameplay, with multiple plot outcomes and endings based on your choices and play strategies.

Turn-Based Combat with Strategic Run

Everwayne's turn-based combat isn’t just about a card game. Environmental hazards can influence battles, forcing you to adapt your tactics. Environment adds depth to each fight, turning familiar situations into dynamic challenges that demand flexibility and foresight.

The “Exile” Mechanic: Manipulate the Battlefield

The Exile mechanic introduces a unique strategic element. Use special cards to push enemies into traps, environmental hazards, or stack debuffs on them. The Exile system allows you to manipulate both enemies and the battlefield, creating endless combinations of tactics.

Character Synergy: Build Powerful Deck

In this trading card game, each character has cards in a deck that create synergies with others. These synergies add a layer of strategy to squad play, allowing you to combine characters and manage a team deck to exploit enemy weaknesses and make OTK decks.

Tavern Meta-Progression: Your Hub of Growth

The Tavern acts as your primary hub, kinda forward operating base, where you can select characters, and take on quests from NPCs. As you progress, you’ll upgrade the Tavern, unlocking new features like a Bestiary, Trophy Room, and even mini-games that allow you to gather resources and craft items. This meta-progression system ensures long-term engagement, offering new mechanics and challenges as you upgrade the Tavern.

Explore a Hand-Drawn World Full of Secrets

Everwayne’s world is beautifully hand-drawn, filled with interactive map elements and hidden secrets. As you walk through its lands, you’ll uncover mysterious locations, dungeons, strategic advantages on the battlefield, and lore that deepens your understanding of the game's rich world.

Rich Narrative: A Story You Control

The game’s rich narrative allows you to experience each character’s story arc and their conflicts, filled with quests and side missions. The story is fully optional — if you prefer to focus on the TCG or roguelike elements, the choice is yours, but do not forget to take all bonus content!

Freedom to Play Your Way

Whether you enjoy deep strategy, immersive narrative, or simply the challenge of endless roguelite gameplay, Everwayne offers freedom of playstyle. Some players may focus on the lore, while others will focus on mastering the turn-based combat and deck-building systems. With so much to explore, every player can find their niche in this fully hand-drawn world.

World Corruption: A Dynamic and Endless Experience

As you progress, the world of Everwayne will change in response to your actions through the World Corruption mechanic. Each run influences the next, introducing endless replayability as you get new challenges, visual changes, and evolving mechanics. This makes each playthrough feel fresh, ensuring that no two experiences are the same.

Camp Mechanics: Prepare for the Next Challenge

Camps in Everwane provide a respite in your journey. Here, you can restore health, gain powerful buffs, scout nearby areas, and upgrade your cards, all of which are essential for surviving the increasingly difficult battles ahead. These camp mechanics offer key strategic opportunities to strengthen your squad and fine-tune your deck each run.

The Guardian: Will You Rise to the Challenge?

Everwayne’s world is held in the grip of a powerful guardian, the Eternal Tyrant, who has watched over the land for centuries. However, many believe his rule has caused the very corruption now spreading through the world. Will you be the adventurer who challenges this mighty guardian, uncovering the truth behind his reign, or will you simply try to survive and navigate the ever-changing landscape?

The choice is yours. Gather your best cards, build your deck, and use your tactical prowess to overcome the endless challenges that await. Every decision shapes your adventure as you confront powerful enemies, explore a hand-drawn world, and fight to determine the future of Everwayne.
