Description



Abalon (formerly Summoners Fate) is a roguelike adventure that fuses tactical turn-based combat and card strategy. You're tasked with the challenge of guiding your heroes through perilous quests in search of hidden secrets, powerful cards, titanious team members, and mutated rabbits.

The world of Abalon is inspired by traditional tabletop environments, stretching from its frozen peaks to barren deserts and colorful woodland to dingy dungeons. Each world offers its own characters to find, mysteries to unravel and bosses to slay.





Abalon draws its inspiration from classic tabletop games like Hero Quest, Dungeons and Dragons, and Magic: The Gathering, combining tactical combat with thoughtful events decided with the trusty roll of a D20. Exploring Abalon is done in real-time, allowing you to uncover lore scrolls, shop for powerful cards and even attend a goblin's birthday party (don't forget your gold).

Combat brings Abalon into a turn-based game where unit positioning is as important as your spell casting. These tense encounters play out in arena-style maps where the environment isn't just for show, it's a key part of the battlefield. Equip powerful armor from a statue mid-fight. Slam your foes into a wall of spikes. Transform a tree behind enemy lines into an allied fighter. How you control the battlefield is your choice.





In between the DnD style events and slaying of enemies you'll be collecting cards, lots of cards. Every Summoner is linked to two classes, including Arcane, Celestial, Nature, Void, and Chaos. These classes offer different playstyles: Chaos contains a lot of fire AOE spells for big damage whereas Arcane provides the ability to mind-control your enemies.

Your deck in Abalon is capped at 20 cards, so you can collect all the cards you like knowing they won't hinder your current build. If you wish to change your playstyle halfway through your adventure then simply roast some marshmallows on the campfire and chat with the Cosmic Tortoise.

Abalon offers an ever-changing adventure so it's important to adapt to the situation. The Battle Mode allows you to build a constructed deck from the cards you have discovered during your adventures. Bringing this deck, along with two allied units you can test your might against the toughest of foes!





  • 5 Worlds to explore, each with its own events, characters, and bosses
  • 20 Summoners to guide through an adventure, each offering unique abilities for you to master
  • Over 50 characters to meet through world events, all of which can join your adventure
  • Over 400 cards you can collect on your quest to build the perfect deck
  • PvE Battle mode, the perfect arena to master your favorite Summoner

I'm pretty tired of roguelites forcing the player to grind to get to where they can play the real game. It was cute when Rogue Legacy did it in 2013. The novelty kept up for a while as the genre blew up, especially in

Absolutely excellent. A mix between a creature collector, CCG with deckbuilder and a tactical combat game, all in roguelike mode. Tons of options and very polished. Very satisfied with my purchase, and huge cheers to

This game is just plain fun. It has great playability since the map is never the same and new cards keep it interesting. The game creator is very involved with updates and improvements, and is really tuned in to the

This hits many of the itches you had being a nerd from the 90s, or oldschool dnd type. Has a blend of deck building, but its more like "spell slots" or limited resource as you don't automatically get your discard back

I enjoy the games out there trying to combine my favorite genres, rpg, deckbuilding and roguelike. This is another fun entry! In Abalon you pick a main character each run and then walk around a map gaining cards and

I am several hours into this game and I am enjoying it very much. Challenging without being over the top. Good progression and strategy. Turn-based combat meets Slay the Spire card collection. Worth it at full price but
