About Turnveil

Turnveil is a turn-based roguelike where every fight is a tactical puzzle built on three pillars: clever skill combos, using the environment, and choosing your targets wisely. One wrong move, and the enemies will tear you apart — they're getting smarter right alongside you.

⚔️ Combat: 1 Turn = 1 Action

You can only take one action per turn (move, attack, or use a skill). As soon as you act, it's the enemy’s turn — and they play by the exact same rules.

🗺️ Exploration: Danger Lurks Around Every Corner

Dive into procedurally generated mazes filled with secrets. Puzzles and hidden paths aren’t just about treasure — they might spring a trap, reveal a secret room, or unleash a powerful foe. Every step is a choice: press your luck, or play it safe?

💥 Combos & Environment: Let Your Imagination Be Your Weapon

Forget saving your ultimate for the boss. Chain skills into devastating combos and take down enemies fast — and with style. And don’t overlook the environment: traps aren't always hiding. Sometimes they’re begging you to shove an enemy into them before they do the same to you.

📈 Enemy Progression: They’re Learning Too

Feeling powerful after leveling up? So are your enemies. Turnveil doesn’t hand you an advantage just because your HP bar got bigger. Enemies grow with you, gaining new abilities and tactics. Let your guard down, and you’re done.

🃏 Character Progression: Every Run is a New Story

Pick a hero to set your playstyle — then carve your own path. Each time you level up, you’ll choose from a selection of new active and passive skills. What kind of build will you create today?
