About the game
Every Block Is a Battle
What happens when a classic block puzzle becomes a fantasy dungeon crawler? You get Swordoku: Grid & Glory, a puzzle RPG where every piece you place could mean the difference between victory and defeat.
Enter a dungeon filled with monsters, treasure, and increasingly dangerous challenges. Your weapon isn't just your sword. It's your ability to think ahead, position puzzle pieces, and unleash devastating attacks by completing rows, columns, and 3x3 grids on a 9x9 battlefield.
Think. Place. Attack.
Each turn, you're given three puzzle pieces to place on the board. Complete a row, column, or 3x3 grid to attack your enemies. Clear multiple areas with a single placement to unleash even more damage. But be careful: once you've placed your pieces, surviving monsters strike back!
Facing up to three enemies at once, you'll need to balance aggressive attacks with careful board management. The battlefield doesn't reset after every turn, so every placement matters.
Make Every Piece Count
Running out of good moves? The Sacrifice Slot lets you trade some of your health to replace an unwanted piece. It's a powerful escape from a difficult situation, but every sacrifice comes at a price. Sometimes the best move is the one you're willing to bleed for.
Build Your Power, One Level at a Time
As you battle through each dungeon level, earn temporary abilities that transform how you fight. Increase your damage, steal health from enemies, regenerate health, unleash elemental attacks, or even expand your hand from three puzzle pieces to four or five.
These abilities last only for the current dungeon level. Every new level is a fresh challenge and an opportunity to discover a different combination of powers.
Hundreds of Levels. No Looking Back.
Each dungeon level contains multiple waves of enemies, culminating in a powerful elite or boss encounter. Defeat every wave to complete the level and choose whether to press onward or return to the safety of Sanctuary.
Completed levels stay completed. If you fall in battle, you'll return to Sanctuary and begin your current level again. Your journey is about pushing deeper into the dungeon, not endlessly grinding the same old battles.
Return Stronger
Sanctuary is your home between adventures. Equip new weapons and armor, improve your gear, and invest in permanent upgrades that make your character stronger. Temporary powers may disappear, but your equipment, improvements, and hard-earned dungeon progress remain.
Your Strategy. Your Adventure.
Will you focus on devastating attacks, healing and survival, or manipulating the puzzle board to create massive combinations? With hundreds of dungeon levels, varied monsters, powerful equipment, and countless ability combinations, no two levels need to play quite the same way.
