Lost For Swords is a Roguelike Deckbuilder, where the cards in your deck shape the rooms you’re exploring. Make your way up the tower, equip weapons and armor, cast spells and scrolls, activate auras, collect loot and defeat monsters in tactical turn-based combat.
The Let's Try series is a way to preview / review games in order to get my first impressions through the first moments of gameplay.

Wow! Thank you so much for playing my little game :D ...and maybe we even get to see more? There's one more hero class to try in the demo :) in any case, you made my day!
@@showcase0525I gotta be honest, I'm an absolute amateur in everything audio so I mostly used bought or free sound assets tbh. So I can't take much credit for this, but I'm glad the end result is good :)
Good way of looking at it! I take that, thanks! :)@@showcase0525
100%!@@natanoj16
Great game 😊
Really cool game!
You know a game is gonna be good if reto playes for over an hour on the first time 😂 Edit, now that I finished watching, would definitely love to watch more
I am not usually a fan of this genre but this looks super well made! Looking forward to seeing where the devs take it 😊
Thanks for the video!
This looks and plays amazingly!
I love how complex the cards are. Good job on the developers to actually dare to explore the design space and not just being happy with good enough. I'd love to see how the other classes play.
I like this! It plays fast, it's more of a puzzler than most Slay-the-Spire clones, and the basic gameplay (replace your deck of generic attack and defends against pre-indicated enemy attacks) isn't nearly as derivative.
Woah this game looks really good. Would love to see more of this
This game looks awesome. Simple yet a lot of depth. Would love to see a few more episodes
Aarrrg, why…
I had a lot of fun watch you playing this game. And than you stopp.
Thanks for playing
I think one of the most compelling reasons for not doing one damage on puch is being able to skip turns by punching a barrel. Loved the vid, hopefully we'll get a follow up video?
you can skip turns by punching a barrel already though
@@Retromation They only have 1 HP though, so it would only let you skip a single turn rather than an unlimited amount.
That's a design consideration I've been debating myself, and still am. :D Making your unarmed attack deal 1 damage would certainly help with some soft-locking/trapping scenarios. But there are quite a few downsides to it, which is why I did not go for it. One of the main reasons is that giving players a potentially infinite source of damage right from the start warps the game in weird ways and makes certain strategies much more prominent (there ARE ways to achieve "unlimited" damage in the game, but those require a properly tuned deck). Keeping your damage potential finite creates a scarcity that just makes for a better game overall (I know, lots of grand words here :D)
@@IIMakeGames Nicely thought out, Mr. Dev
Cool to see something like guild of dungeoneering
40:42 Push in boots, come on, hahaha
This would make a pretty good series
Please play more, this seems like such a fun unique game.
Looks so good! Wasnt sure about it for the first half but damg it got there!
Very strong Desktop Dungeons vibe on this game. Love it
Looking forward to watching this series. Will be sad if that doesn't happen.
I already love this game
Yah keep on playing this looks amazing and I can’t wait to see more
How many active series are you willing to run at the same time?
usually 2, sometimes when releases are slow/weak (like right now) I throw a super short series in a 3rd slot though because I can't find anything else to play.
Okay, I'd take a series on this one.
Definitely play more!
I like having a weapon with drop so I have no DMG then I grab a hold for more armor and defiance so when I'm attacked I gain armor(bonus from hold) and if I have a trinket to deal 1 DMG to all revealed enemy then every time I'm attacked I deal 3 DMG to all and get +3 armor(bonus if hold is on and have upgraded defiance)
Please play more, game is awesome.
I already see a lot of UA-cam comment potential in this game
This one looks really cool. I wonder what the win condition looks like... is there a boss, or do you keep going until it gets impossible? We must find out lol
Really impressed with this game. I wouldnt mind it on my phone.
If you got an Android, it's in the Play Store! If you got an iPhone... coming soon! :)
@@IIMakeGames Ha ha thanks I already had it downloaded!
@@IIMakeGames It's been almost half a year. Any update on iPhones?
@@aaa303 I wish there was, but I'm afraid not yet. I'm currently focusing on the Steam side of things (Steam Next Fest starts next week). I marked down your youtube username and will let you know as soon as there's news on the iPhone/iOS side of things!
i want to see more of this!
The soundtrack is full of bangers
Wow, this is actually really good
Series of this please!
Truly did turn out to be a fantastic game!
More please
@retromation you have a top 10 roguelite list?
Nope, not a fan of top 10 lists or tier lists on games. I find them crude, and a bit too engagement-baity for my interest. Not to mention people just skip to the end and get upset. I'd not rule out putting out a list of game recommendations in no particular order every once and a while, but I just haven't had the time for that. For now I'd just point people to my Best of Let's Try playlist that I do keep updated: ua-cam.com/play/PLAwWN1A7O-OTBwWVGFc7JaTQolRsZjJdo.html
Play more!
So it's kinda like cardhog
