About the game

Master of Piece is a strategic roguelike deckbuilding game set in a gothic medieval world, where players as commanders raise an army of mercenaries to venture and uncover the secrets of the black fog that shrouded the world.

Instead of using cards to build a deck and fight enemies, Master of Piece has mercenaries which look like chess pawns. They possess unique traits that take effect during battles, and players can combine the traits in various ways to build a strong synergy and ultimately a strong army to engage in combat.

Combats are made simple with a turn-based, auto battler system. Mercenaries possess 3 simple stats: Attack Power, Health and Speed, and once they are deployed in the battlefield, they engage in combat based on their stats. Trait and relic effects will activate during battles, and building a powerful combination of traits and relics will be crucial for defeating strong enemies and bosses.

Discover and make use of endless combinations between traits, relics and other systems that will continuously change the tide of battles. Master your strategies, and build the ultimate army to reveal the secrets of this medieval realm.

Key Features

Simple and straightforward system, but deep and complex strategy:

Players can engage in combat by simply dragging their pieces onto the battlefield, making the game easy to grasp. However, optimizing combinations of traits, relics, and abilities demands a deeper understanding of the system.
Endless combinations of traits, relics, and upgrades:

Build the ultimate mercenary team and complete the journey. Mercenaries, traits, and relics can be enhanced and modified in various ways throughout each run, offering new strategic combinations every time you play. Learn ideal synergies between traits and relics—and break the game.
Meta progression that adds color to the gameplay:

Failure does not mean your journey comes to nothing. Return to the lobby, visit the garrison, and build facilities that grant permanent upgrades and diversify your long-term strategies.
Challenge modes for hardcore players:

Players seeking tougher challenges can enter Ordeal Mode, which features 10 difficulty levels that gradually increase the game’s challenge in multiple ways. Test yourself against the Ordeal and prove yourself as the true Master of Piece.
Gothic medieval art style:

Inspired by classic board games, Master of Piece brings a dark, gothic aesthetic to life by drawing from real medieval historical details. Every move feels like placing a piece on a grand board of fate, where strategy and atmosphere intertwine.
