Sword & Poker 2 combines classic Poker game features with RPG elements.
In a magical world based on cards your hero returns home from his battles fought in the predecessor. Soon he is called for battle once more to fight back the dark shadow starting to cover the entire continent.
Through a world map the player chooses a dungeon to go into. Each dungeon consists of several levels with a handful of enemies each. Once facing an enemy the player’s goal will be to reduce its hit-points by forming a row of cards you know from the Poker card games. A flush is worth more hit-points than a pair of two cards.
The player will find 3x3 cards in each level. His or her deck of cards will then be used to add two cards per turn on each side of the 3x3 board. One card opposites the second forming five cards in a row.
Defeating enemies earns the player gems that can be spent on new bags (increased hit-points), new weapons (stronger attack rate) or shields.
