About Tuoni
Tuoni is a turn-based roguelite RPG from Old Dog, released on December 31 2026. Set in a mythic northern wilderness, it blends procedural generation with folkloric creature battles and deep build crafting. You’ll navigate randomized maps, adjust strategies between runs, and experiment with playstyles that mix magic tech and primal abilities. The game’s old-school inspiration shows in its tactical combat and resource management. Aimed at players who enjoy high-risk exploration and permadeath challenges, it promises replayability through shifting terrain and enemy setups.
Gameplay
Each run in Tuoni starts with a fresh map layout and enemy placements. You control a character using grid-based movement, targeting foes with actions like slash cast or craft. Combat is turn-based but emphasizes positioning, as terrain effects and enemy types alter outcomes. Between sessions, you tweak your build using earned resources, choosing between stat boosts or equipment upgrades. The game’s roguelite elements mean permanent upgrades are rare, most progress resets, but small unlocks carry over. Exploration rewards are tied to hidden chests and lore fragments, pushing you to balance risk and reward. Sessions average 45 minutes to an hour, with permadeath adding tension to every decision.
What Players Think
Tuoni holds an 82% user rating on PlayPile with 7.6 average score. Community stats show 38% completion rate and 24 hours average playtime. Reviewers praise its “sharp tactical depth” and “addictive build diversity,” though 17% criticize inconsistent enemy scaling. The mood leans 62% “challenging but fair,” 28% “frustrating.” One user wrote “Every death feels like a lesson in strategy.” Achievement data shows 120+ trophies, with 43% of players unlocking half. Price hasn’t been listed yet, but early adopters report a 15-hour average for 80% completion.
PlayPile's Take
Tuoni is a solid pick for fans of tactical permadeath and build customization. Its roguelite design ensures no two runs feel alike, but the 38% completion rate hints at steep difficulty curves. If you’re okay spending 20+ hours grinding for late-game upgrades, the diverse playstyles and procedural challenges justify the investment. Skip it if you dislike permadeath or prefer linear stories. With no price listed yet, it’s a gamble, but the 82% rating suggests it’s worth the risk for the right audience.
