Description
As fate would have it, you’ve stumbled upon this game. Might as well give it a try. Who knows what you might encounter… ayyy. Get it? Encounter is the name of the game. When I said, “who knows what you might encounter,” it was a play on words.
Encounter: The Lost Cards is a solo, turn-based roguelike where Tarot cards drive the journey. Each card represents an event—an enemy, a stranger, a blessing, a curse—and your run becomes a chain of choices that shape how far you make it.
There’s no traditional world map. Instead, you travel through a deck of encounters, learning how to read risks, build momentum, and survive whatever fate deals next.
Your adventure starts with a single crate. What’s inside? Something useful… or something that forces a painful tradeoff. Either way, you’ll meet oddballs, outlaws, and outright disasters—sometimes in the worst possible order.
A run is a sequence of cards. Every draw is a situation to solve: fight, bargain, gamble, retreat, or take a hit now to avoid something worse later.
Turn-based combat with action economy. Every move consumes energy or other resources. Winning isn’t about spamming attacks—it’s about timing, sequencing, and using your gear intelligently.
Adapt or die. The same card can be helpful early and lethal later on. Build your stats, equipment, and deck so you can turn bad draws into survivable outcomes.
Resource management is the real boss. Everything is limited: rare items break, inventory space is tight, and food runs out. Each pickup is a commitment—taking one thing usually means giving up another.
Managing resources is only the beginning; chaining actions together for strong combos is where the deeper strategy shows up.
If you like roguelikes, inventory management, a touch of deck-building, turn-based RPG combat, and nostalgic pixel graphics, you’ll feel right at home in Encounter.
✔ 250+ unique and powerful items
✔ 100+ adaptive encounters
✔ Inventory management
✔ Deck manipulation
✔ Action sequencing
✔ Deep, flexible builds
Encounter rewards patience, experimentation, and flexible planning. Fate will sometimes hit you with the worst possible timing—but if you learn the systems and make smart tradeoffs, you’ll start to feel the moment where “random” turns into something you can actually control.
It’s big-brain if you want it to be, but easy to pick up and play. Either way, your fate is in your hands… mostly.

Absolutely amazing concept And gameplay. The one run per day might be annoying at first, but I find it as a good way to build stakes, especially for those free to play. It makes every run that more important and valuable. Every choice matters, although I would l recommend changing the virtue and sinful mechanic to not reset after every inn checkpoint. It basically makes it to where if you know you can guarantee survival to the next inn, you can be as sinful as you want and have no consequences.

This is quite a great and unique game. The artsytle and gameplay is really what had drawn me in. When I first played, there are definently some problems. First is the pacing, some mechanics require more explanations and can be confusing to a new player. Second is the UI, it's quite busy and can cause lags or crashes (Yes I have tried lowering the graphics). Third is the story, I was intrigued by the story at first, but was disappointed that there wasn't really any more story afterward.

A pretty good game! The rng always keep the run fresh and fun! Although I recommend to add the ability to use equipments even without being in combat, I've lost so many times because I couldn't shuffle the cards that because there are no enemies in last few cards... (I keep forgetting to check the cards.)

I don't like the limited tries with the regular version, where you have to unlock the premium for unlimited tries.

The writing makes absolutely no sense. It would actually be a better game without any of the story, dialogue or info boxes.
★★☆☆☆Jordan Baldwin· May 16, 2026
My experience was not good playing this title. I can respect the amount of effort I suppose these takes. However, I did not like the lack of explanations for how various mechanics work. The pace is extremely fast with limited knowledge of how things work just makes it seem worse. I got a bug where if I put my inventory in my pack I could not re-equip them, resulting in me having no weapon. Very frustrating. I have no idea how tarot works or what it affects. Needs lots of polish and explanations.

Dreadfully mid. Game has pretty terrible RNG, which it tries to get around with its judgement system, but ultimately it does very little new, explains even less, and isn't particularly fun.
