What is Poker Quest: Swords and Spades?
In this single-player, turn-based fantasy roguelike, you guide a hero through a procedurally generated world of monsters. You use cards from a standard deck to trigger your equipment’s abilities in combat and follow branching routes through locations and events.
For you if...
- +you enjoy weighing card probabilities during fights
- +you like replaying runs through changing encounters
- +you want to choose whether to use permanent upgrades
Not for you if...
- −you want a linear story rather than branching runs
- −you prefer real-time action to turn-based card combat
What players say
87% of 724 reviews are positive
Players praise the variety of hero playstyles and item combinations. A common complaint is that unlucky draws can outweigh careful planning and end a run; some players also find power gains too infrequent.
