Battle your way through a seedy tavern filled with gambling addicted townspeople in this Blackjack Roguelike Adventure. From aces and face cards to tarot cards, business cards and more, create your unique deck to beat the house.
RPG Gamers summaryIn a significant departure from their earlier creations, Yogscast Games - known for their catalogue of varied game offerings like Hexguardian, Aces & Adventures, and PlateUp - have recently released a novel blend of casino card game and roguelike adventure, dubbed Dungeon & Degenerate Gamblers. This game catapults you into an unusually grimy, corrupted take on the classic card game, Blackjack.
The game begins in a uniquely stylized pixel art tavern that hosts a rogue version of Blackjack, unheard of in typical casino offerings. Here, players face off against a plethora of townsfolk characters, each with distinct personalities and all heavily addicted to the card game. It soon unravels that this clandestine establishment is led by a yet to be disclosed figure, adding a layer of mystery to the player’s journey through the intricate layers of the tavern.
A trait that stands out about Dungeon & Degenerate Gamblers is the innovative influence of card suits on gameplay techniques. Depending upon the suit – hearts, spades, diamonds, or clubs – chosen by the players, a spectrum of benefits becomes available varying from healing to defence upgrades, as well as the addition of more currency for in-game purchases or the potential for extra damage output.
Players progress by acquiring assortments of unconventional cards like tarot cards, business cards, and others used to build a strategic deck. The game features over 300 unique cards and promotes endless potential for distinct and exciting gameplays, raising the stakes for both novices and veteran gamers.
Additional standout features include the opportunity to unlock new starter decks, thus allowing for different playing strategies. Players can tackle a series of mini-games and events to secure extra chips, and the chips themselves offer distinct advantages and special card activation. Over 60 characters are available to challenge, presenting diverse combinations of obstacles to overcome.
Despite its gritty, underworld casino theme, Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers offers a relatively safe haven - there are no stakes to your financial stability, mental well-being, or relationships, making it an alluring choice for gaming enthusiasts.
