In MMORPGs, you often face powerful raid bosses, but in a new game on Steam, you swap roles and fight as the boss yourself. With various abilities, you will become stronger and must defeat the heroes of the world.
What game is it about? None Shall Intrude is a roguelite deckbuilder from the indie developers Aeterna Ludi. You take on the role of a dragon who wants to achieve world domination. In a similar manner, the free game on Steam The Dark Queen of Mortholm lets you play as the boss of a soulslike.
Each battlefield consists of several fields with enemies and resembles turn-based tactical combat. The game will be released on January 21, 2025 on Steam.
Through various combinations of elements from fire, wind, and earth, you can create different interactions on the battlefield. A field burned by fire can be spread to adjacent fields by wind or expanded into a lava field with even more fire.

What makes you as strong as a raid boss? New cards and relics unlocked through the talent tree grant you useful abilities as a raid boss to choose the right playstyle before each fight.
As a powerful dragon and embodiment of chaos, death has no meaning. With each new life, you gain more power and new ways to become stronger.
A full rage bar allows you to perform a devastating attack by filling it through simple attacks and certain game mechanics. As befits any good raid boss, you also have multiple phases in which you become stronger.
Creative deckbuilder for under 15 euros
