About Siegeturtle
Siegeturtle is a cozy idle roguelite auto‑battler where a turtle drifts toward home across hostile seas. The turtle moves on its own while recruited companions provide distinct abilities that affect each run.
Players upgrade attributes, skills, and equipment, then may ascend to reset progress for permanent boosts. Between battles the turtle can fish, selling catches for gold or keeping them for passive stat bonuses.
01 / THE GUIDE
Automatic Turtle Movement
The turtle travels forward without direct player input, allowing the game to continue without timed actions. This design lets players concentrate on choosing upgrades and planning future runs rather than steering the turtle.
Because movement is automatic, the feature list notes the game is "Playable without Timed Input," indicating that progress does not depend on rapid player reactions.
- Observe how different companions influence the turtle’s path and adjust recruitment accordingly.
- Use the save‑anytime feature to experiment with attribute allocations without losing progress.
02 / THE GUIDE
Companion Recruitment
Players can unlock and recruit a variety of companions such as dolphins, unicorns, and seals. Each companion grants a unique ability that influences battles and travel.
Companion abilities combine with the turtle’s own upgrades, creating diverse synergies that shape each run’s strategy.
- Try mixing companions with contrasting abilities to discover unexpected power combinations.
- Check which companion abilities align best with your chosen attribute focus.

03 / THE GUIDE
Fishing Between Battles
Between combat encounters, the turtle can be sent to fish. Caught fish may be sold for gold or retained for passive stat bonuses.
Upgrading the imaginary fishing rod increases the rarity of catches, providing stronger bonuses or more gold when sold.
- Balance selling fish for immediate gold against keeping them for long‑term stat gains.
- Invest in rod upgrades early to boost the quality of later catches.
04 / THE GUIDE
Attribute Development
Four core attributes—Strength, Agility, Intelligence, and Vitality—can be leveled. Each attribute shapes the turtle’s performance and interacts with skill upgrades.
Choosing an attribute determines the turtle’s growth path, influencing combat effectiveness and other aspects of the turtle’s performance.
- Focus on a single attribute to specialize, or spread points for a balanced approach depending on your goals.
- Compare how each attribute modifies the same skill to decide which synergy fits your strategy.
05 / THE GUIDE
Ascension and Evolution
When ready, players can reset their journey through an ascension, granting permanent upgrades that make the turtle faster and stronger in subsequent runs.
Each ascension also raises the turtle’s overall power, allowing future runs to start from a stronger baseline.
- Plan ascensions after accumulating a solid pool of equipment to break down for upgrade materials.
- Track how each permanent boost changes early‑run distances to gauge ascension effectiveness.
