About the Game

Welcome

Deadhand Theater is a dark, turn-based roguelike deckbuilder set on a stage where poker cards are your weapons and every hand you play carries unique combat properties. Collect and upgrade talismans, refine your deck, and make desperate sacrifices with your own body to survive one fight longer!

Features

  • Strategize and form poker hands, whether it's a pair, straight, flush, or any combination of them in a single hand to defeat your enemies.

  • Sacrifice your own body parts to alter the outcome of battle at the cost of their inherent strength.

  • Add and destroy cards, and apply sigils in various ways across many different stage types.

  • Buy talismans and upgrade them to further enhance your combat capabilities.

  • Overcome challenging hexes and stage modifiers that grow increasingly difficult in later stages.

Possibilities

No shortage of tools in the theater to craft your own performance:

  • 60 talismans

  • 25 sigils

  • 45 hexes

  • 25 grafts

  • 28 stage modifiers

And more to come! We will be adding more items, unique modifiers, and different enemies across varied stage settings. In the final release, you will also be able to choose characters and unique starting decks, and meta progression will be included to carry improvements across runs!

The Theater is waiting. Are you ready to perform? Even without a head, the body fights on.
