I love roguelikes with choices — this one has a cool combat mechanic and a fun way to juggle cards. Awesome project

Pretty great and polished. As a sucker for roguelikes with a twist, I'd say this definitely deserves a full release!

very unique twist on a card battler. Very good use of inventory and items mechanic.

@xoudz Thanks! Definitely the edgiest game I've made. My partner recommended I lean into an occult theme to make the game distinguished, but I ended up fusing Cultist Simulator with Doom in this case.

@aveezavr Thank you! I was hoping to add more to the combat, but, y'know, time and all. As much as I love cards for their simplicity and readability (and, gosh, the amount of things you can do with them), they take a while to implement.

@toreskovic Maybe after I finish releasing my current roguelike with a twist haha—thanks! For polish, I went with my go-to tool PrimeTween for easy procedural animations, and my newly-acquired Text Animator for the text stuff.

@scoobysnacks Thank ye! The original idea was Cultist Simulator/Stacklands themed as a dungeon crawler, but early on I thought of this mechanic of dragging weapons around, and it felt very visceral and violent. So I made it!

Holy shit I got 4.7 stars in overall. If I actually rated more games I might've won
