About Dungeon Deck
Dungeon Deck is a card-based roguelike deck-building game developed by Incinious, where players explore a procedural dungeon represented by a deck of cards. The game challenges players to build strategic decks by collecting unique weapons and abilities to defeat enemies and bosses. Each playthrough offers a fresh experience due to randomized cards, items, and encounters, encouraging experimentation with different card combinations to create powerful synergies.
How to play
Setup
- Start a new game, choosing a hero or deck archetype (if available; specific classes aren’t detailed in sources but implied through varied playstyles like summon or dagger builds).
- The dungeon is represented by a deck of encounter cards, which include enemies, items, and events. Cards are drawn to simulate exploration.
- Your initial deck consists of basic cards, which you’ll expand by acquiring new ones during the game.
Gameplay loop
- Exploration: Draw cards from the dungeon deck to encounter enemies, items, or events. Each card represents a challenge or opportunity, such as fighting a raccoon boss or gaining a weapon like a bow or dagger. You may choose paths (e.g., fight or avoid certain encounters) based on the cards drawn.
- Deck-Building: After defeating enemies or completing events, you earn cards (e.g., weapons like daggers, wands, or summons like armored golems). Strategically add these to your deck to create combos. For example, combining daggers with wands triggers upgrades, or using summons with healing cards boosts survivability. Be mindful of deck size—too many cards can dilute your strategy.
- Combat: Battles are turn-based, using your deck to play cards against enemies. Cards have specific effects (e.g., dealing damage, weakening enemies, or drawing extra cards). Some enemies, like raccoons, are tough and may require specific strategies, such as building a deck with bows and arrows. Manage resources like energy to play cards effectively.
- Progression: Advance through the dungeon by defeating enemies and bosses. Each run is procedurally generated, so encounters and rewards vary. Defeating bosses or completing runs may unlock new cards or achievements in the Steam version.
Dungeon Deck games offer a quick, engaging, and often challenging dungeon-crawling experience that can be played solo or cooperatively.
