Grim Hand is a dark fantasy roguelike deckbuilder. Free demo, then one purchase unlocks the whole game. No ads. Plays fully offline. TACTICAL COMBAT IN TWO ROWS Your weapon is your deck. Pick up a bow and you can hit the back row. Pick up a hammer and you can stun. Every weapon and shield you carry changes the cards in your hand. Enemies stand in a front row and a back row, and each one shows what it will do next. Kill the leader or break their morale. Enemies strike after every card you play, so there is no safe turn. EVERY RUN IS DIFFERENT Different weapons, different events, different enemies on the way. Death ends the run. You start again, and you start smarter. A true roguelike experience. SOULS THAT CHANGE HOW YOU PLAY Choose your souls before a run. None of them is a flat bonus. Each one asks you to play differently. A NARRATED STORY OF A PERSONAL LOSS A blacksmith lost his trade when the war ended. He goes down into the dungeon to bring money home. Four acts, and every line is voiced. 72 CREATURES Goblins, lizardmen, the undead and worse, each with its own way of fighting. Camps to rest at, a forge to upgrade your weapon, and strange events that can save a run or end it. PREMIUM, THE OLD WAY No ads, no energy timers, no loot boxes, no daily login. Play free up to the first mini-boss, then one purchase unlocks all four acts, every boss and every soul. Yours to keep. Old school RPG. Made by one person, an indie project.
