Fogpiercer, a sci-fi roguelike deckbuilder from HoodedHorse, has reached version 1.0 — arriving with a 25% launch discount and a substantial slate of content.

The game's central conceit pairs clever unit positioning with explosive chain reactions, framing the train environment itself as a tactical variable. Players build runs across ten carriages, choosing from a cast of four drivers and three locomotives that each push toward a distinct playstyle.

What's in the 1.0 launch

Drivers:

  • Monica — ice-based, stun-focused
  • Pan — manipulates enemy positions through time and space
  • Ghost — a rage-driven specter that summons a ghostly train and units
  • Whiskey — a mechanic oriented around protecting and repairing the train

Locomotives:

  • Foggy — utility all-rounder
  • Steamie — survival and protection
  • Bullet — fragile but high-speed, movement-centric

Bosses (3): Lojzo can disable carriages or halt train movement; Marauder brings fire-based aggression; Tinkerer summons enemies each turn. The source notes hints of a larger force coordinating the three.

Minibosses (6): Bodkin, Hadrian, Cronko, Sapper, Servitor, and Mamatroshak each carry distinct mechanical hooks — from self-spawning to deck disruption to shield theft.

The launch also includes two biomes, 32 enemies, 7 friendly units, and over 100 cards.

For players who enjoy deckbuilders with spatial depth, Fogpiercer's interlocking systems offer considerable surface area to explore from day one.
