Tainted Grail: Conquest. A roguelite action RPG with card-based combat mechanics that takes place in an Arthurian dark fantasy setting… and I’m talking DARK! Like Dark Souls 3 meets Hellblade Senua’s sacrifice DARK.

Hello everyone! It took us a while… but we’re back with a HUGE patch with a lot of cool things inside!

But let us start by thanking you all for playing the game and being such an awesome community! Your support made it possible for us to work extra on the game and add a lot of awesome stuff with Patch 1.1... But we are not done and today we are super excited to invite you to Patch 1.2!

There are three main things we’re bringing today —
new translations of the game
new content and balancing
official soundtrack!

So, let’s dive into the contents of this gigantic patch :)

THREE NEW TRANSLATIONS

You’ve been asking for this for a while now and we’re finally ready to update the game with Simplified Chinese, Russian, and Spanish.

We hope that thanks to those translations, a lot of new people will gain access to the game and have some good fun with it ;) We will really appreciate those of you who are in those regions to spread the word about the game being available in extra languages!

You can check out the beta version of the Tainted Grail: Conquest patch 1.1:

Beta Access to Patch 1.1 - Introducing Endless Modes & Events!

Hi everyone! Long time no hear ;)

We've been silent for a little bit, but this doesn't mean we weren't busy! We have prepared a small surprise for you all and we really hope that you will enjoy it.

You've given us so much support during Early Access and the game premiere and we definitely want to give back by creating some extra content that you will hopefully enjoy!

So, let's talk about Patch 1.1 - Shattered Reality.
This patch brings 3 totally new ways to play the game!

First of all, we have 2 endless climbs. These are modes which are 100% gameplay-focused. You will fight an enemy after enemy until you will (eventually) fall. We found it's super fun, especially for players who finished the main campaign and just want to play around with different strategies.

Endless Misery
This is our hardcore climb created for all of ye power gamers wanting to get some proper challenge.

Endless Power
This is our “chill mode”. It is raining outside and you just want to chill a bit with some silly combos and crazy fights - like 3 Golems? Endless Power is here for you :D

Weekly Events
This is a mode in which you will get tons of modifiers that will absolutely change some core things about the game. Every week, there will be new, unique events and leaderboards where you can compete for the best score with other players.

On top of it, with this patch we are also bringing some extra optimization (especially for low-end machines). It's nothing groundbreaking but our tests shown quite a few extra fps - and that's always welcome, isn't it? :)

Overall, we are quite proud of this patch and we really hope you will enjoy the new modes!

Anyway! We want to release this update to the public on the 17th of this month and we would like to invite you to the Beta to test if everything works as intended.

This means we're sharing access to our beta branch and if someone wants to join us there and check out the new things, well, we'd really appreciate all feedback!

Thanks Henriquejr!

Tainted Grail: Conquest Review

Slay the D&D.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but Tainted Grail: Conquest is a roguelike RPG with deck-building and turn-based combat. It doesn’t feel like it was that long ago that this was a legitimately peculiar concept, but we’ve been inundated with this particular genre mashup in the last few years.

However, while Tainted Grail certainly draws comparisons to others in this increasingly competitive subgenre, it actually adds in a few bits that make it stands out.

[...]

Summary
Any game so good that you can't resist doing just one more battle in is a game well worth paying attention to, and Tainted Grail definitely manages that. 

Good

• Beautiful world
• Actual storytelling
• Multiple layers of customisation and replayablity

Bad

• A bit hard for some

Score: 9/10

But Why Tho? is impressed by Tainted Grail: Conquest:

REVIEW: 'Tainted Grail: Conquest' is the Best of its Kind (PC)

Tainted Grail: Conquest is punishingly difficult, but it is also incredibly deep with an intriguing narrative and fantastic design. Developed and published by Polish studio Awaken Realms Digital, Tainted Grail: Conquest is a spin-off of the board game Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon. The game is a deck-building roguelike RPG that is incredibly deep and slowly builds in complexity and scope over a player’s multiple runs.

The story takes place on the island of Avalon, a hostile wilderness being colonized by humans with a meager survival rate. It begins with the player waking up in an infinite nothingness before a strange goat-like creature approaches them. The player is informed that the world has ended, driven by humanity’s greed. Yet, the player has been spared by Death and suspended in a world where the past and future are jumbled together, giving them an opportunity to figure it all out and stop it from happening. The story is hooking right from the start, even if it is laid out with some heavy exposition.

[...]

TL;DR

Tainted Grail: Conquest is definitely not a title for everyone. Its difficulty and dark atmosphere will undoubtedly be too much for many players out there, even some fans of RPGs, deck-builders, or roguelike. However, for fans that do want those aspects, it’s one of the best in the genre. There are countless hours for players to find in the game, and the deep mechanics and systems are incredibly rewarding across the board.  

Score: 9/10

The deck-building rogue-like Tainted Grail: Conquest has been released:
