    Solitomb Game Guide

    Introduction

    Solitomb is a unique card-based dungeon crawler that combines elements of solitaire with strategic combat against monsters. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate the game effectively.

    Getting Started

    Game Basics

    • You play by building hands of cards to defeat monsters and clear levels in a dungeon
    • The game features stacks of cards, some face-up and some face-down, similar to traditional solitaire

    Objective

    Your goal is to defeat a specific number of monsters or clear pathways to progress through the dungeon levels.

    Gameplay Mechanics

    Card Types

    • Monsters: Represent the enemies you will fight
    • Attack Cards: Used to deal damage to monsters
    • Shield Cards: Provide defense against incoming damage
    • Potion Cards: Restore health or provide bonuses

    Building Hands

    • You can stack cards up to five in number, where lower-numbered cards can be placed on higher-numbered ones (equal ranks also work)
    • To initiate combat, drag your selected stack of cards into your hand

    Combat Strategy

    Defeating Monsters

    • Match the strength of your attack card with that of the monster. For example, to defeat a monster with a strength of 5, use an attack card with a strength of 5 or higher
    • To avoid damage, combine attack cards with shield and potion cards strategically

    Combos and Bonuses

    • Create combos by using cards of the same suit or consecutive ranks for additional damage bonuses
    • Be mindful of the demon timer; making too many moves without engaging in combat will cause you to take damage

    Resource Management

    Health and Patience

    • Monitor your health closely as you engage in battles
    • The demon's patience decreases with each action, so act quickly to avoid penalties

    Character Classes

    Before starting a run, choose a character class that grants unique passive abilities and special skills that can influence gameplay.

    Between Levels

    Shop System

    • After clearing a level, visit the shop to purchase new cards and upgrades using gems collected during your run

    New Card Types

    • As you progress through levels, new card types will be introduced, adding variety and complexity to your strategies

    Tips for Success

    • Focus on Key Monsters: You don't need to defeat all monsters on every floor; prioritize those that block your path or are objectives for that level
    • Utilize Tooltips: Pay attention to in-game tooltips for guidance on card interactions and mechanics
    • Experiment with Classes: Try different character classes to find one that suits your playstyle best
    • Practice Makes Perfect: The game has a learning curve; don't be discouraged by early defeats as you refine your strategies
