Poker Quest is a new roguelike card battler where you progress through a world full of monsters, using a standard deck of playing cards (like the « Queen of Spades ») with magical properties to activate your gear in combat. The game offers a wide variety of playable heroes, each specializing in different strategies that change the way you play.

Each of the 15 playable heroes comes with unique gear and abilities, providing many different play styles. In combat, bigger and better hands trigger stronger abilities. Discover hundreds of equips, events, abilities, and monsters.

« Poker Quest takes concepts from basic playing card games, like Poker and Blackjack, and adds them into the core of a turn-based roguelike RPG. I really like taking ideas from completely different game genres and seeing how they can be put together in a compelling way. The end result is always going to be something special. » – Fragsworth, CEO at Playsaurus.

An deeper look into Poker Quest Mechanics

Poker Quest feels a lot like a deck-builder, but is fundamentally very different. The world map takes inspiration from games like Slay the Spire, and we created a wide variety of events. Some players might notice that the combat is similar to Dicey Dungeons, but instead of dice, we use playing cards. The 52-card deck is the focus of this game, and Poker Quest contains a vast, novel set of game mechanics that focuses on the properties of these playing cards.

Some of the knowledge that you might know from other card games (like Poker, Blackjack, Cribbage, Bridge, Hearts) will naturally carry over to Poker Quest. Poker Quest is a game that you can play to hone your skills with playing card probabilities, but while playing a fantasy RPG.

With enough practice on the hardest difficulties, the answers to questions like « What are the chances they have a Spade in those two hidden cards? » can become second nature, without thinking much about it.
