Our Expert Score

89/100

Oaken is a tactical, turn-based roguelike that feels like a breath of fresh air. The hex-grid combat is deep and requires careful positioning—it’s not just about who hits harder, but where you stand and how you manipulate the battlefield. The 'Great Oak' setting is beautifully realized, with a mythical, forest-spirit vibe that makes the game world feel ancient and alive.

The deck-building elements are handled perfectly, allowing for a high degree of customization without feeling overwhelming. Each run feels distinct because the upgrades and spirits you encounter can drastically change your strategy. It’s a game that rewards patience and thinking several turns ahead. For fans of Slay the Spire or tactical RPGs, Oaken is an absolute must-play on mobile.
