In Attack The Light: Steven Universe Light RPG, you team up as the cartoon’s four protagonists to prevent a mighty Gem weapon from wreaking havoc in the universe, embarking on a journey for the ages filled with worthy foes, spectacular combos, unique attacks and upgrades for each member of the Gem-quartet, and a wide range of explorable locations.

Guild of Dungeoneering

Guild of Dungeoneering is a turn-based RPG game that turns clichés upside down with its gameplay: instead of controlling a single hero or a group of heroes, you build the dungeons around the protagonists by drawing cards from your Guild deck containing rooms, traps, monsters, and heaps of equipment. As you’re building the dungeon, your hero is making his own decisions, picking fights and going wherever he feels like going, thus the goal is to entice, coax and bribe him to clear your dungeons by strategically placing the rooms, traps, monsters and loot you draw from your Guild deck. Each victory will bring you a step closer to restoring the glory of your Guild, and will also allow you to unlock rooms, events, and equipment – the very things that will attract new classes of heroes to your dungeons, assisting you on your quest of becoming the ultimate Dungeon Master.
