DarkSpire

DarkSpire (in-game title: Spire Shadow) is a turn-based card Roguelike prototype built with Godot 4.7, inspired by Slay the Spire.

Players choose a hero, navigate a branching map, build a deck, and plan each turn's offense and defense around the enemy's openly displayed Intent. The core loop covers: Main Menu → Character Select → Map Route → Combat / Shop / Campfire / Event / Boss → Rewards → Back to Map.

Highlights:

  • Data-driven design — Cards, characters, enemies, statuses, and shop contents are all configured via CSV; no per-card scripting required.

  • Composable card effects — CardData and CardEffect combine flexibly, supporting Attack, Skill, Power, Curse, and Status card types with effects like damage, piercing, splash, block, card draw, energy, healing, buffs, and debuffs.

  • Intent-based combat — Enemy actions are revealed in advance, demanding strategic planning each turn.

  • Signal-decoupled architecture — Battle, entity, deck, and status systems communicate with the UI layer via Godot signals.

  • Two complete character classes (Crusader & Mage), multi-phase bosses, and a full run flow already playable.

The project is in active prototype iteration, with all major game flow scenes wired up and functional.
