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
