About the game
A turn-based card game featuring light roguelike elements, where exploration and combat revolve around the combination and transformation of Chinese characters.
Original Steam description
Character Abyss is a turn-based card game. At its core are character tiles and character combination mechanics, with skills and enemies built around them, plus a combat system using Essence, Qi and Spirit as its base stats.
Venture deep into the mystic realm, make your choices, wield character tiles, and battle foes.
Character Tile Synthesis — Combine character tiles into words or short phrases to trigger unique effects.
Turn-based Combat — Build your deck, manage resources, and play cards whose powers derive from the original meanings of Chinese characters.
Light Roguelike Exploration — Enemies and events are procedurally generated.
Multiple Classes — Scholar synthesizes on the fly mid-combat; Talismanist pre-crafts powerful talismans.
Meta-Progression — Stronghold workshops, codex collection, and cross-run unlocks.
