Roguelike deckbuilder meets hex-tile city builder! Build a resource engine to survive the center’s rising demands. Place producers, converters, and combo-rich tiles. Roll dice to shop, pick perks, and chase wildly different builds every run.

Vena is a genre-defying fusion that combines the best elements of city-building, roguelike deckbuilding and automation into an ecstatic experience.

You begin with the central tile, the Nexus. It consumes six resource types with demand growing each game phase. Place tiles to feed the Nexus through the six veins reaching out from it. Chain converters, duplicate producers, gamble on high-risk/high-reward tiles and survive nine phases to beat the game.

Vena offers:

A Never Seen Before Genre Mix: Experience the satisfaction of city-building combined with the strategic variety of a roguelike.
Infinite Replayability: No two runs are the same. Every session forces you to adapt to new perks and tiles.
Deep Progression: Push your skills with 7 distinct game modes and 5 difficulty tiers ranging from Normal to God.
Immersive Sound Design: Satisfying placement sounds and an original ethnic soundtrack.
Endless Strategic Synergies and Possibilities.
