A dark-fantasy deckbuilding roguelike inspired by Slay the Spire, set in the Tainted Grail universe with character-driven runs and procedural combat encounters.

Conquest sits in a crowded indie deckbuilder space but maintains solid residual revenue and positive sentiment despite modest active players. The core appeal is strong (89% positive, median 16.7h per player, 80+ hour engagement cases documented), but momentum has stalled: developer silence for 15 months, minimal discounting activity this half-year, and a narrow concurrent playerbase suggest the title is quietly profitable but starving for attention. Best fit for a publisher seeking a dormant catalog title with proven audience loyalty and low overhead, or a studio wanting a finished IP asset to bundle with a live-service sequel or expansion roadmap. Most realistic play: publishing.

Risk: Slay the Spire clones have saturated Steam; Conquest lacks a distinctive hook strong enough to recapture lapsed players without active marketing or content injection.
Risk: User reports of lingering bugs (HP-refill failures, balance asymmetries between summoner and melee builds) after five years in market suggest codebase may need modernization and QA overhaul.
Risk: Questline appears dormant on community engagement (zero dev posts in 15 months, zero forum activity yearly); revival demands clear editorial leadership and public roadmap.
