Apokerlypse

Apokerlypse is a card game built around the classic poker objective of getting rid of all your cards, combined with deckbuilding roguelike mechanics. You build chains of card effects and assemble a different set of tools each run. Poker knowledge is not required to start playing.

Cards and combat

Cards, skills and chips let you create powerful combinations, from repeated attacks to discarding cards in a frenzy. The game includes skills such as Dragonfire Bomb, which unleashes an endless barrage of bombs; Bro on Bro, which stacks a full run of “10”s; Blade Storm, which discards cards rapidly; and Emberblade Katana, which makes your hand burn hotter.

Heroes and builds

Each hero has an exclusive pool of skills and chips. The available heroes are:

• Rogue: chains attacks endlessly.
• Spider Priestess: weaves cards into a deadly web.
• Gladiator: overwhelms enemies with relentless bomb throws.
• Alchemist: commands the power of fire.
• Queen: fights alongside dragons.

Across runs, you can shape your deck using 400 chips that alter core mechanics, 70 unique skills and more than 70 skill modifiers, and 13 card enchantments that give individual cards magical powers. Deckbuilding actions include buying, removing and transforming cards.

Single-player and online

In single-player, you climb ladder ranks as your score rises and opponents become more difficult. Your own strength also grows as you progress.

Online play is a separate experience from single-player. It supports versus matches for 2–3 players, where you face card builds created by other players, with their own skills, chip combinations and personalized decks. You look for weaknesses in their builds and choose how to defeat them. Matches also feature Fate Cards and the unpredictable Party Feast.
