NOMIA is an isometric tactics game in development by one person. It's like Final Fantasy Tactics meets Slay the Spire.
Two heroes, two hands; no one should die the same way twice.
Your hand has two halves.
Your Actions persist between turns, but have charges and cooldowns.
Your Gambits are drawn from your deck each turn, and are discarded when played.
Both will change along your journey. Express your playstyle through both character building and deck building.
Your party has two heroes.
You'll always pick two at the start of each expedition -- a Mighty and a Magical.
The Mighty has more Actions.
The Magical has more Gambits.
Each has a unique deck of cards, as well as unique Memories that create powerful synergies.
Your foes have tells.
Enemy intents are shown on your turn, rewarding clever defense.
Intents are adjusted when you play cards, but not randomly; enemies have a goal in mind and will do their best to achieve it, allowing you to counterplay.
You can make enemies reconsider their intent by attacking them. A character can play tank for their partner if they're in a pinch.
Your path is winding.
Each of the five zones features unique enemies, loot, and terrain. Overcome tricky foes and powerful bosses as you grow in strength and complexity.
Discover the truth behind a mysterious disappearance as a stone-eating scourge devours your home.
Dive deep into the Dream, and play your cards well.
This update introduces the Curse system, which lets you increase the difficulty of each run at will.
After your first winning run (and certain story progress), each realm cleared will unlock the associated boss\'s Curse, a unique modifier that will make the run harder.
Currently only the first of each path\'s Curses is implemented, but I plan to have the others ready in future updates.
A few new Assist Mode options have also been added, in case you would like to tune the difficulty the other direction.
In addition, the shape of the run has been further tuned to increase the diversity of Memories, and some bosses have been rebalanced.

Gambeson now gives Buffer every 3 turns rather than 5 turns.
[/*]Heartwood Slab, Synesthesia, and Veneer Sheet now grant Resist/Block before DoTs tick.
