What is Heck Deck?

A single-player, top-down game set in an abstract, hand-drawn world. You dodge projectiles and use attack and spell cards across five stages, each with its own setting, enemies, music, and boss. Shops let you buy more cards.

+you like figuring out unfamiliar mechanics through experimentation

Not for you if...

−you want reflex-only action without tactical card decisions
