7 itemsAbout the Game
Engage in intense one-on-one poker battles against gruesome demonic monsters, each with unique abilities. The strength of your poker hand determines your damage, and the sum of your cards’ values is your defense..
Unlock and master an ever-expanding arsenal of cheat tricks as you shape your run around a constantly evolving deck. Conceal and swap cards mid-battle, boost key values to force powerful hands, sabotage the enemy’s draw, and bend the odds toward carefully crafted synergies.
But there’s a devilish twist: you and your opponent draw from the same deck. Every card you add, remove, duplicate, or modify affects both sides of the table. To survive, you must deliberately build and refine a deck that amplifies your current cheats and relics while minimizing the enemy’s advantage.
Every trick raises your foe’s suspicion meter. Push your cheating too far, and they’ll lash out with devastating fury.
Death means starting over, but not empty-handed. Earn permanent upgrades, new cheat cards, powerful relics, and fresh strategies with each run. Adapt your deck and cheat arsenal to tackle deeper levels of Hell and inch closer to ultimate redemption.
At the start of each level of Hell, the Devil lays out tarot cards dictating your path through monster and boss fights, shops, healing shrines, and mini-games. But you were never one to let others determine your path…
