We Slay Monsters

We Slay Monsters is a roguelike RPG in which you guide a hero through short dungeons using a class-specific deck of cards. Each dungeon takes 15–25 minutes to complete, or less if your hero dies. You can play as a Wizard, Rogue or Warrior.

Card-based combat

Combat uses a poker-like system. The deck has six suits, with card values from 1 to 9 instead of the usual four suits and Ace-to-King values. Most hands that count as valid in poker work here; a flush requires only three cards of the same suit, and any flush triggers a super attack. Each suit has its own attack ability.

Rebuild the Academy

You are tasked with restoring the once-prestigious Academy For Dungeoneering, which trained generations of heroes before falling into disrepair. The Academy is your persistent base, and you can upgrade it over time with gold earned from successful quests for nearby towns. Heroes can die, but the Academy remains, with an endless supply of recruits willing to risk their lives for fame and fortune.

Campaign and monsters

In the campaign, you face the Institute of Evil, a rival school that trains evil beasts and strange bosses to take over the world. More than 35 monsters can be unlocked as you complete quests, and each has unique abilities.
