Karvan: Ascend the Giant Tree in this Tactical Roguelite

Embark on a perilous journey in Karvan, a tactical roguelite game where you lead a caravan up a colossal, resource-rich tree. Explore its procedurally generated world and exploit the unique resources, but beware, many have perished in the attempt! Your goal: be the first to conquer the heights, or fall trying.

Each ascent begins with sending a caravan, escorted by troops, into the unknown. Travel by day, but prepare for the night, when valuable resources materialize alongside relentless enemies. This strategy game challenges you to make critical decisions: protect your wagons or risk it all to gather more resources. Each decision could be the difference between survival and ruin.

If you survive the night, you might reach a town – one of seven nestled within the tree's immense branches. These towns offer respite, but also difficult choices. Do you press on, risking everything for greater rewards, or retreat to your camp to consolidate your gains and prepare for a stronger ascent? Karvan is all about strategic resource management and calculated risk.

Build your Camp

Transform your humble camp into a formidable base with resources gathered from the tree. Upgrading your camp is essential for survival. Each upgrade manifests as a new building, visually representing your progress from a small tent to a magnificent castle. Unlock better wagons, recruit more troops, and acquire superior weapons, paving the way for future ascents.

Prepare the Ascent

Before each expedition, carefully select your wagons and weaponry. Your choices define your play style. Camp upgrades unlock access to superior equipment, allowing you to fine-tune your caravan for the challenges ahead. Strategic planning is key to success in Karvan.

Prepare the Fight

After a day of travel, strategically position your defenses and deploy your troops on procedurally generated hexagonal maps. Illuminate the darkness with torches, erect barricades to impede enemy advances, and carefully select your fighting forces, equipping them with the best weapons for the task. Explore new areas on these maps while you fortify your defenses.

Survive the Night

During the perilous nights, continuously balance defense against resource gathering. Remember, a troop collecting resources isn't fighting. Protect your wagons at all costs; their destruction, or the loss of all troops in a unit, means they’re lost for the entire ascent. Real-time tactical combat demands quick thinking and skillful troop management. Use their unique abilities, reposition them strategically, and eliminate as many enemies as possible before they overwhelm you. Protect your troops in this tower defense hybrid!

Bless the Town

Reaching a town is cause for celebration! Replenish your supplies and make a crucial decision: continue the ascent or retreat to preserve your hard-earned resources. Towns offer opportunities to hire mercenaries, buy and sell weapons, repair wagons, and even pay a tax to use an elevator, allowing you to start your next ascent from a higher point. Choose your path wisely in this challenging roguelite adventure.
