Sunken Stones is a turn-based Puzzle-Strategy game that immerses you in a world of pirates, cursed treasure, and strategic combat. Lead your crew of misfit pirates across treacherous seas, overcoming powerful foes by outsmarting them on a 5x5 grid. Choose your captain, build your crew, and use your cunning to unlock powerful combos and defeat sea monsters. Can you survive the curse and conquer the seas? Key Features: Choose Your Captain: Your journey begins by choosing a captain, each with unique abilities, starting health, and savvy—an essential resource for deploying crewmates. Your captain is the core of your team, as enemies only target them. Pick wisely to suit your playstyle and adapt to the threats ahead! Build Your Crew: Rescue and recruit crewmates with unique skills and abilities to bolster your pirate force. Every crewmate brings something special to the fight—whether it’s unleashing devastating combo chains or supporting your captain in creative ways. Manage your crew carefully, as you can make crewmates walk the plank to bring in new recruits with even stronger potential! Master Elemental Combat: Both captains and crewmates are aligned to one of three elements: Steel, Smoke, or Salt, each with its own mechanics and strategies: Steel: The aggressive option, Steel focuses on boosting attack power, controlling positioning on the board, and utilizing extra savvy as a resource. Smoke: The element of combos and trickery. Smoke uses ammo and can apply the Smoking debuff. Smoke excels in crowd control, affecting all enemies on the board and using knockback abilities. Salt: For tactical minds, Salt specializes in controlling the battlefield, using health as a resource, and employing the Submerge mechanic, preventing enemies from attacking or being attacked. With careful planning, Salt can turn the tide of battle with precise strikes. Collect Cursed Treasure and Manage the Curse: As you gather cursed treasure, your crew grows increasingly afflicted. Deploying afflicted crew members raises your curse meter, and if full by the end of a round, all Creeps on the board become stronger. Dive into the world of Sunken Stones—where strategic thinking, careful crew management, and a sharp eye for combos will guide you through danger. Will you rise above the curse and become the master of the high seas? Or will your crew succumb to the sinister power of cursed treasure? The ocean awaits your command!

Press reviews: “With roguelite runs, elemental synergies, and an ever‑tightening curse forcing ruthless roster culls, Spritewrench’s tidy debut distills deck‑builder tension into bite-size micro‑tactics worthy of any would‑be Davy Jones.” Turn Based Lovers
