About the Game

SEX, DRUGS, & ROCK 'N' ROLL!

Join the gritty world of an up-and-coming little rock band working hard to make it big. This fast-paced roguelike deckbuilder is the latest band simulation game from the developer of Rising Star 2.

But this ain't your typical deckbuilder

Maximize your score by playing cards from your hand in the most optimal order for the chosen song. Get your feet wet by playing a few paid gigs before jumping into some battle of the bands. Meet up with some friends on the road to help you out, and take advantage of local connections to get you the goods needed to kick even more ass.

Go on Tour

Your band consists of songs, cards, instruments, and collectibles. Play gigs to earn money to buy new stuff to prepare for battle opponents that get more difficult as the venues get larger.

Battle for relevance. If you lose all relevance, your tour will be cancelled. But don't be discouraged if you fail - it's all part of the journey.

Features

  • Deck-building core gameplay, focusing on optimal sequencing.

  • Various card types, collectibles, and consumables to manipulate gigs on the fly and maximize your audience scores.

  • Beat venue bosses to progress to bigger venues and audiences.

  • Unlock various starting decks for unique playthrough challenges.

  • Each game is randomized, creating a unique experience on each playthrough.

  • Random events give each tour a unique experience while you get to know your band at a personal level.

  • A huge variety of music across 18 sub-genres of rock & metal.

  • More attitude than a wild rock band on tour.
