Deck of Souls is a roguelike game in which you use a deck of cards to destroy various enemies in order to progress through the various acts.

Fight with your cards, equipments and accessories

At the start, the game generates a random deck, which makes each game different. Our character has life points, energy points, which enable us to throw different cards on our turn, and equipment such as boots, accessories, etc, which give us stats.

Each act is made up of different levels. We can choose between several levels each time, and there are several types. For example, on combat-type levels, we’ll have to fight against different enemies. These levels are clearly not easy to master. Our character’s health points are not reset to 0 after each level, so you’ll have to manage the fights in the best possible way.

There are also random levels. Here, we have to make a choice based on a given event.

Now let’s talk about the deck aspect. At the start, we’ll have a few cards provided by the game. There are many different cards with many different mechanics. For example, we’ll have cards that do damage when used, and if we do combos, they can also give us armor.

There’s also poison, which inflicts damage over time on enemies. Some cards gives us hidden status, allowing certain cards to have a doubled effect, which can be useful for killing enemies more quickly, for example.

After the combat levels, you’ll have several rewards. Souls, for example, which you can use later to buy rewards, but also new cards to make your deck more powerful.

Deck of Souls brings a different game every time

From a streamer’s point of view, every game is different, and the game’s difficulty can make it a little tricky at times. Thanks to your community, you’ll be able to establish certain strategies, choosing together to take this or that path, or to choose one choice rather than another.

If you hesitate between several actions, you can then have a greater number of possibilities in order to go as far as possible.
