Through the Thorns and Curses

About

Through the Thorns and Curses is a deckbuilding roguelike where every decision shapes your path through a cursed forest. You start with nothing but a blank slate, building a card-based toolkit to navigate deadly terrain, outwit enemies, and scavenge relics. The turn-based combat demands careful planning, positioning matters just as much as the spells or weapons in your deck. Each playthrough throws new obstacles your way, so you’ll need to adapt your strategy constantly to survive. The game shines in how tightly it weaves deck construction with tactical movement. Every card you pick influences not just your attacks but your entire approach to exploration. Players are highlighting the punishing difficulty and the satisfaction of finally cracking a tough boss after multiple tries. Early access logs show average playtimes climbing past 80 hours, with some runs stretching into triple digits for those chasing full deck mastery. Best bet if you’ve ever spent too long tweaking your Slay the Spire loadout.
