A very well put-together card based rogue-like. Set in a dark twisted King Arthur and the Round Table timeline, you're tasked with adventuring through the Wyrdwood to find answers to the corruption. You do this by selecting one of the nine classes and making your way through combat encounters akin to Slay the Spire.

However, I enjoyed the more realistic and grotesque art-style Tainted Grail has compared to Slay the Spire. I also think the narrator does an amazing job in this game and all of the story beats and encounters are very well written.

If you're familiar with and enjoy Slay the Spire, this is an easy recommendation. The systems and elements Tainted Grail makes unique are all improvements to me. The classes feel good, archetypes vary and most can power through on high difficulties. Definitely one of the better rogue-like like card games I've enjoyed.
