Northwind is a tense, card-driven roguelite that blends strategic resource management with tug-of-war combat and deep card-crafting. You pick a mercenary, plan your hunt and route across a forbidding frozen land, then face duels where pushing and holding the offensive meter matters more than simply dealing direct damage. Between runs you return to the Northwind Outpost to craft, upgrade and fine-tune your deck-while Legacy Points from boss fights let you expand outpost services and unlock new long-term options. The world grows more dangerous as the Hazard Level rises, so risk versus reward is always part of the decision-making.
