Poker, but the void is keeping score. Your ship runs on credits. Credits come from poker hands. Run out, and you drift. Astral Poker is a roguelite built on five-card draw. Every sector sets a target score. Every failed hand burns fuel you can't get back for free. Clear the sector or die trying — and the shop in between is where runs are won and lost. BUILD A BROKEN DECK Buy illegal modules that rewrite the rules. Make flushes pay double. Turn every seven into a multiplier. Stack Gold, Holo and Polychrome cards until a pair of fours outscores a straight. Seventeen modules, and you'll never fit them all into one run. SPEND OR STARVE Fuel costs money. So do modules. So does rerolling a shop that has nothing you want. Prices climb every sector, and the wrong purchase in sector three is the reason you die in sector six. TEN SECTORS. ONE WAY HOME. From the Training Sim to the Galactic Core, the targets grow faster than you do. Choose your holds and shop purchases carefully to make it all the way home. PERMANENT PROGRESSION Completed runs earn Stardust, win or lose. Spend it in the Hangar on a bigger tank, a fatter starting wallet, or free rerolls — upgrades that carry into every future run. ALSO IN THE BOX Game Center leaderboards and achievements. An optional hold advisor if you want to learn correct play. Play offline as a guest — no account required. Suit up, pilot. The house always wins, but the house isn't out here.
