Tavern Tornado

Tavern Tornado is a roguelike strategy game about running a fantasy tavern. Every evening you open the doors, a small whirlwind sweeps through, and your guests land on random seats at a table with 20 seats. There they earn gold, and far more next to the neighbours they like. Every guest, dish and piece of furniture comes in a handmade clay look.

After each evening you pick one new guest out of three. Dwarves, orcs, elves and goblins each have their own synergies, joined by mixed-race heroes, hearty food, furniture and tavern staff. Add a third copy of the same guest and they fuse into a much stronger Master.

Guests of honour arrive at set times and demand gold, and each one tells you in advance how much and when. Pay them and you choose a relic. If you cannot pay, the tavern is lost. Each of the four taverns ends with its own boss: the Bandit Chief, the Ogre King, the Witch and the Dragon. The later taverns add rules that shape the whole run: ogres crowding your table, guests turning into frogs and dragon fire on your seats.

Your first tavern starts with two guests already at the table and a few short hints, so you learn the game while you play. Beat a tavern to open its first star. Each star makes the run harder, and every win opens the next one, up to a fifth star with a twist of its own for every tavern. Win on every star to collect all 20.

Between runs you spend renown in the shop on new guests, relics and upgrades for every tavern. After a victory you can keep going in endless mode, where the Lich returns again and again with ever higher demands. Collect 26 achievements, and visit the Hall of Fame to see them next to your best gold scores in every tavern.
