Papercraft Tactics

The release date for Papercraft Tactics on PC is July 24, 2026. This indie strategy title blends grid-based inventory management with automated turn-based combat, set within a distinct paper-theater aesthetic.

Success depends on the spatial organization of your backpack rather than direct unit control. You must physically align items on a grid so that inputs and outputs connect, creating automated sequences of attacks and defenses. While the combat resolves itself based on your layout, you can intervene with tactical cards to manipulate the action queue or double-down on specific triggers. The challenge lies in drafting a cohesive build of wands, shields, and trinkets that can scale through increasingly difficult theater-staged encounters.

Buy this if you want a tactile puzzle-focused roguelike centered on clever spatial optimization.
