About this game Read the full description

Scrap, Salvage, repeat.

Fox and Shadow is a sci-fi, deck-building roguelike focused on meticulously crafting your cards piece by piece—giving you control over how your deck evolves. Take control of a robotic Drone and the mind of the Pilot that rides it, and face off against defective AI drones that roam the ruins of a broken city. Build your Command Deck and tackle all the obstacles that stand in your way...

Unite Reason and Emotion

For each journey into the city, you’ll choose a Drone and a Pilot, each with their own types of cards.

  • The Drones each come with a unique set of Command cards, a representation of the robot's innate functions. They form the base of how the drones fight off threats and present tools to solve problems. 

  • Pilots each have different Trait cards, which represent their behaviors and emotions. As pilots explore and interact with the city, parts of their personality bubbles to the surface in the form of these cards.  While in your deck they  change how you can interact with other entities in the city.

As you collect these cards, you’ll be able to combine them to create powerful new moves to take down your foes: 

  • Alter cards with esoteric Mods and Viruses to change how they work.

  • Refine your Duplicate cards into a singular more powerful variants and improve their functionality. 

Maybe—just maybe—if you master these tools, your Drone will survive the trip home...

A Responsive Narrative

Your cards are useful for more than just battle, they’ll influence how you can interact with the denizens of the city. Given their failing memory circuits, they may not always remember your choices. Just rest uneasy and know that the game will remember what you’ve done…

Explore the City

You’ll be able to freely move across the city and take all the time you need to scavenge parts from the city, but Just be mindful of how long you take. Your activities will garner more unwanted attention, and others will covet your hard earned scrap.

Will you harvest more resources as enemies close in on your location, or make a hasty descent down to keep what you have?
