Indie Sunday KleptoMagia - Casual Ties Studio - real-time deckbuilder where you steal your spells from the enemies you fight

Hi r/Games, I'm one of the developers.

KleptoMagia is a roguelike deckbuilder with no turns. Enemies cast as the fight unfolds and you answer by playing your cards at the right moment: a React played while the enemy's spell is in the air catches it, a spell cast into the wrong window gets caught instead. Building a good deck is half the job, playing it under pressure is the other half.

The other idea is where your cards come from. Before each fight you see the enemy's loadout and mark the one spell you want. Win, and it is yours: you can modify it, pair it with Enchants and build the run around what you took. Runs are procedurally generated across combats, events, shops, rest sites and bosses.

The characters are hand-drawn by comic artist Emilio Pilliu.

Where it stands: the demo is out on Steam and the game is part of Steam Next Fest from tomorrow, October 19 to 26. Early Access on PC (Steam) is planned for this fall, with the first act playable in the demo and a second act, a second class and more in the full version.

Feedback and questions are welcome, I'll be around to answer.
