Spire

Spire is a deck-building roguelike on your wrist. Climb a fifteen-floor tower one fight at a time: draw a hand of five cards, spend your energy on attacks, blocks and powers, and read what the enemy is about to do before you end your turn. Every run is a fresh climb; a good deck is built, not dealt.

Between fights you choose your route. Take on an elite for a relic, rest at a campfire to heal or upgrade a card, spend your gold at a merchant, or gamble on an unknown event. Reach the top and face the boss with whatever you built along the way. A run takes ten to fifteen minutes and is saved at every step, so you can close the app mid-fight and pick it up later.
