Evaluation

Abalon is an actively developed roguelike from solo developer Ross at D20Studios. Since its May 2023 launch, the game has received a continuous stream of major updates, feature patches, and bug fixes. Four named major updates shipped between May 2025 and May 2026: Abalon 2.50 (May 2, 2025), Abalon 2.70 with the Animal Gear DLC (September 15, 2025), Abalon 2.90 with Legendary Leaderboards (March 11, 2026), and Abalon 2.95 with Descent 20 and the final boss (May 5, 2026). As of today, September 4, 2026, the developer posted the v2.99.0 patch notes just hours ago, explicitly stating that Abalon 3.0 is planned for release on September 14, 2026. This major update will introduce asynchronous and real-time multiplayer, including ranked matchmaking and cross-platform support between Steam and mobile. A beta of the multiplayer feature is already live via the Abalon Arena demo. The August 4, 2026 post also confirmed that the Caves Expansion — a paid DLC adding a new cave biome, new bosses, and new encounters — is in full art production and is expected to release mid-Season 7 in early fall 2026. The developer is running active competitive seasons (now in Season 6, transitioning to Season 7 on September 14), communicating regularly with the player community, and has maintained a steady cadence of substantial updates throughout 2025 and 2026.

About this game



Abalon (formerly Summoners Fate) is a roguelike adventure that fuses tactical turn-based combat and card strategy. You're tasked with the challenge of guiding your heroes through perilous quests in search of hidden secrets, powerful cards, titanious team members, and mutated rabbits.

The world of Abalon is inspired by traditional tabletop environments, stretching from its frozen peaks to barren deserts and colorful woodland to dingy dungeons. Each world offers its own characters to find, mysteries to unravel and bosses to slay.





Abalon draws its inspiration from classic tabletop games like Hero Quest, Dungeons and Dragons, and Magic: The Gathering, combining tactical combat with thoughtful events decided with the trusty roll of a D20. Exploring Abalon is done in real-time, allowing you to uncover lore scrolls, shop for powerful cards and even attend a goblin's birthday party (don't forget your gold).

Combat brings Abalon into a turn-based game where unit positioning is as important as your spell casting. These tense encounters play out in arena-style maps where the environment isn't just for show, it's a key part of the battlefield. Equip powerful armor from a statue mid-fight. Slam your foes into a wall of spikes. Transform a tree behind enemy lines into an allied fighter. How you control the battlefield is your choice.





In between the DnD style events and slaying of enemies you'll be collecting cards, lots of cards. Every Summoner is linked to two classes, including Arcane, Celestial, Nature, Void, and Chaos. These classes offer different playstyles: Chaos contains a lot of fire AOE spells for big damage whereas Arcane provides the ability to mind-control your enemies.

Your deck in Abalon is capped at 20 cards, so you can collect all the cards you like knowing they won't hinder your current build. If you wish to change your playstyle halfway through your adventure then simply roast some marshmallows on the campfire and chat with the Cosmic Tortoise.

Abalon offers an ever-changing adventure so it's important to adapt to the situation. The Battle Mode allows you to build a constructed deck from the cards you have discovered during your adventures. Bringing this deck, along with two allied units you can test your might against the toughest of foes!





  • 5 Worlds to explore, each with its own events, characters, and bosses
  • 20 Summoners to guide through an adventure, each offering unique abilities for you to master
  • Over 50 characters to meet through world events, all of which can join your adventure
  • Over 400 cards you can collect on your quest to build the perfect deck
  • PvE Battle mode, the perfect arena to master your favorite Summoner
