Tainted Grail: Conquest is a dark Arthurian deckbuilding roguelike with RPG elements developed by Questline and published by Awaken Realms.

Reviewers highlight that enemy-intent communication allows for deliberate tactical decision-making, and players describe the overall experience as atmospheric and immersive with a narrative and setting they find hauntingly unique.
