About Pemkie Island

Welcome to Pemkie Island!

Dive into a roguelite monster-collector RPG packed with tons of different Pemkies to catch!

Tame the ultimate team of Pemkies, build a powerful Skill collection, and journey across five distinct regions on Pemkie Island.

Every run offers a fresh chance to craft the perfect combination and restore balance to the world.

The island used to be a peaceful paradise where humans and Pemkies lived in perfect harmony, until.. something unknown changed everything.

A sudden, destructive surge in the island's core energy shattered the balance, distorting reality and corrupting the land.

Now you wash ashore: no memory, no past, just a strange and inexplicable connection to this world.

Piece together the island's ancient history, uncover your place in it all, and find out what it truly takes to restore the balance!

  • Tactical 6v6 Combat: Engage in deep, turn-based battles. Position your Pemkies to exploit enemy weaknesses and break through their defenses.
  • Draft & Build: Defeat opponents and draft a new Skill directly from their set! Build a powerful deck out of whatever fate hands you to survive the run.
  • High-Stakes Roguelite Runs: The island shows no mercy. If you run out of energy, you are sent right back to the start.
  • 90 unique creatures: Discover, catch, and tame every Pemkie hiding across the island's ever-changing landscapes.
  • Engineer Your Perfect Team: Every Pemkie is born with a unique Trait. Find Energy Wells to perform Evofusion, combining two creatures so the newly fused friend inherits the Traits of both ancestors. Don't just catch a team, engineer it!
  • Friends & Loot: Meet quirky NPCs along the way, complete their quests, and earn sweet loot to help you on your journey.
