Either I die, or the Witches perish. I challenge thee to a deathmatch!” Asuha, a self-proclaimed gambling prodigy, challenges the Witch ruling the gambling district. Poised to win, she is defeated by a mysterious power. An adventure of gambling, exposing frauds and earning fortunes through poker.
RPG Gamers summaryAll In Abyss: Judge the Fake is an enticing new adventure brought to life by ACQUIRE, the developers behind Octopath Traveler. The game blends elements of poker, exploration, and storytelling, in a gambler-themed universe filled with intriguing characters and challenges.
Players assume the role of self-proclaimed gambling prodigy, Asuha Senahara, as she navigates The City - an urban environment dominated by a group of formidable gamblers known as the “Witches”. Within this world, players gather information, expose cheats, and amass wealth through skilled Texas Hold’em Poker gameplay.
Following traditional Texas Hold’em rules, players are dealt two cards each and use a combination of those cards and five community cards to make the best possible five-card hand. The game has a strong focus on 1v1 battles, using unique in-game skills that provide a layer of strategy beyond that found in a standard game of poker. These skills allow Asuha to restrict her opponent’s moves, gain insight into their possible hand, among others, contributing to a richer decision-making process.
Central to the gameplay is the “All-In” command. This risky move places all chips, and very essence of the player’s gambler life, on the line. Through cunning and resourcefulness, players put themselves in advantageous positions before using this command to deliver the final blow.
Facing off against the Witches is fundamental to the game’s plot. Each Witch is a formidable adversary who excels at poker but uses deceitful methods to win. By scrutinizing their every move, the player can uncover these fraudulent acts and expose their tricks.
The drama unfolds in the captivating storyline crafted by Shusei Sakagami, known for their work on “Heaven Burns Red”. Along with Asuha, characters such as Mina, who rescues Asuha when she falls on hard times and the deceptive Witch Ulu add depth and intrigue to the saga.
Despite getting its thematic roots from a traditional card game, All In Abyss: Judge the Fake is a new breed of adventure, blending poker strategy, decision-making skills, character development, and a compelling storyline.
This game promises to test your poker skills, decision-making abilities, and appetite for revenge, as you traverse through The City, battle Witches, and set on a mission to unmask deceivers and reclaim victory.
