💀 Darkrise: War of the Undead

Darkrise is a dark fantasy roguelike deckbuilder RPG with permadeath survival, set in a dying world where medieval races and the undead clash for dominance. Each run throws you into brutal choices and combat where you must craft, fish, and loot dangerous lands while mastering card combat to survive as long as possible.

Features

  • Craft gear, build your deck, unlock skills and shape every run through hard choices.

  • Hunt for hide and milk, turn them into cheese and leather, then craft survival food and gear, or sell them.

  • Choices during a run influence encounters, rewards, and risks, creating varied outcomes.

  • Each death teaches you more about enemies, cards, and risks, perhaps knowledge that can help you survive longer in your next run.

  • Almost no one is safe, even merchants can be slain for loot.

In the Darkrise era, survival demands knowledge, planning, and respect for death itself.
