* SchrodingersPlayerCharacter: The start of the game gives you six characters to choose from, each of which has a default deck that specializes in the magic of two of the four archetypes: the Mage (Oracle/Raider), the Explorer (Traveler/Warden), the Brawler (Warden/Raider), the Shinobi (Raider/Traveler), the Monk (Oracle/Warden), and the Bard (Oracle/Traveler). The first two were available in the demo version of the game, while the other four were added after the fundraising campaign hit milestone goals. [[spoiler:Beating the game once unlocks a seventh protagonist, also added due to milestone goals, who uses the Stranger element.]]

"Dungeon Drafters" is a turn-based tactics / card game developed by Manalith Studios and published by Creator/DangenEntertainment. It was released on Steam in April 27, 2023.

Long ago, the [[OurGodsAreDifferent Four Archetypes]] sealed away [[GodOfEvil The Stranger]], who wanted to turn the world back into formless chaos. Until a young man found a [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Tower]] and unleashed that seal, bringing The Stranger's powers back into the World of 4 Corners. People from all over the world set sail in an expedition to the Isle of Doom in order to reseal that corrupting power and save the world.

Set in a fantasy world where [[CardsOfPower magic is encoded in cards]], the player must build a deck based on the four Archetypes in order to brave the six dungeons of the Isle of Doom and ultimately seal The Stranger.

!!''Dungeon Drafters'' provides examples of:

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Quill and Jar Shrines. Quill Shrines let you continue from the same floor of a dungeon if the game closes out or crashes for some reason, while Jar Shrines allow the player to safely send their cards back to town mid dungeon trek.
* CardsOfPower: The very basis of gameplay. The cards hold the power of the Archetypes who created the world, and their magic can be recreated by using them.
* CriticalStatusBuff: Grit cards, which have better or additional effects when the caster is at low HP.
* FriendlyFireproof: Averted. Enemies can damage each other with their attacks, and you and your summoned units can also damage each other.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: The player character is a Returner, able to come back from death in-universe. Returners are also (for some reason) unable to trade cards with one another, explaining why players can't trade cards.
* GeoEffects: Plenty. Most dungeons have tiles with unique effects, such as magma or slippery ice, and the player is also able to create their own.
* RewardingVandalism: Jar, shelves, chairs, and everything else the player can break will sometimes yield Shards.
* SlippySlideyIceWorld: The Glacial Library dungeon.
* StatusEffects: Several, from poison to being turned into a frog.
