About This Game

We combined deckbuilding and spacial puzzles to create The Lightning Struck Orphan.

It is Tetris/Patchwork meets Slay the Spire.

Build a powerful deck of spells and go on a pilgrimage through the gothic city of Akastel.

Each spell takes up space on your board, forcing you to optimize and make difficult decisions on what to place and in what order.

You'll feel creative, smart, and occasionally very powerful when you unleash devastating combos on the creatures of Akastel.

80+ Spells to combine in creative ways, making for an large variety of unique decks.
28 Unique combat encounters.
4 Boss fights
Learn, pray, fight, choose between branching paths, meet haunting characters.

Handmade by the Blackthorn Brothers, Noa & Liam Calice. With music by Ellen Senior.

Was excited to see Blackthornprod were making games again! This game is solid and fun to play if you liked slay the spire. Probably could have done with some more time in the oven as sometimes it feels like there is little strategy and you are just forced to play what cards you have. Worth it for an hour or two of fun!

I love the twist with the card cost. Pretty unique for a dungeon crawler. However there is not much content and the game still has buggs. For example: I passively killed a monter by destroying a rune. Then I wasn't able to proceede to the next battle, because i still needed to destroy one more rune, but there were no runes left.

This is a very fun game. The cards they deal you mean a lot and its all based on RNG. I would recommend this game and hope you all play it!
