About the Game

Deck of Stabs is a roguelike deckbuilder where every single card is a weapon. No shields, no spells—just pure stabs! Build a deck of nothing but brutal, beautiful, pixel-art weaponry and unleash it on everything that stands in your way.

Choose from five unique stab-happy heroes:

  • Steelhand – A battle-hardened warrior who crushes enemies with swipes and stuns.

  • Bladedancer – A flurry of fast, cheap attacks with razor-sharp precision.

  • Hexrazor – A twisted sorcerer who curses foes and stabs corpses to fuel unholy power.

  • Runecutter – A barrage of ancient shards that unleash explosive magical power.

  • Zerker – A bloodthirsty little rage-a-holic who gets stronger with every kill.

As you play, you’ll build a personalized deck of weapon cards, creating powerful combos that evolve with each run. Level up to gain unique passive skills and character perks. Find items and treasures that grant special buffs, unlock synergies, and stack into devastating chains of attacks.

With its charming pixel art, fast-paced combat, and offsense-focused mechanics, Deck of Stabs offers a fresh twist on the roguelike deckbuilder genre. Every run is a new opportunity to sharpen your deck, stab smarter, and maybe—just maybe—become the ultimate stabber.
