About the Game

🩸 Hook Line

Deep in the nightmare, blood cards are your only weapon.

Nightmare Raid: Blood Card Storm is a single-player pixel game fusing Roguelike + Deckbuilding + Combo strategy. Descend 7–13 ever-expanding fog-of-war floors, evolve a blood-red deck, and outplay the horrors that get nastier every level.

⚔️ Core Gameplay

🎴 45+ Hand-Pixeled Cards

  • Five schools — Attack, Defense, Spell, Curse, Psionic. Every card has bespoke pixel art and play FX: knives fly, flames erupt, lightning arcs — you can read the play at a glance.

🔥 Combo System

  • Chain same-type cards to stack a multiplier up to ×5. Low-cost cards reset the chain — when to extend and when to break is the core turn-by-turn decision.

🗺️ Fog-of-War Overworld

  • Maps grow from 5×5 to 8×8, hidden until explored. Battle, Elite, Event, Shop, Chest, and Soul Altar rooms branch freely — 27+ decision events ensure no two runs share a path.

💎 Deep Build-Crafting

    • Card Upgrades — pick your target manually, side-by-side before/after preview

    • Gem Socketing — 6 gem types with clear on-card effects

    • Relics — 40+ relics that reshape your build

    • Soul Altar — spend souls for permanent meta-progress

🌙 10 Ascensions + Endless

  • Normal (7 floors) → Hard (10) → Nightmare (13) → clear the game to unlock Ascension 0–10, each tier adding a distinct rule twist.
