A whole roguelike deckbuilder. On your wrist. No phone needed. Deck Gauntlet is a pixel-art roguelike card game built from the ground up for Apple Watch. Draft a deck, drag cards onto monsters with your finger, spin the Digital Crown to read your hand, and claw through three acts of a branching dungeon, all on the screen strapped to your wrist. Every run is different. Every death teaches you something. Then you climb back in. FIVE HEROES, FIVE PLAYSTYLES • Knight: stack armor and Might, and out-muscle anything in your way. • Rogue: fast, fragile, lethal: chain combos and pile on Bleed. • Mage: bank Mana across turns, then unleash devastating spells. • Archer: nock arrows into your quiver and loose them for huge hits. • Druid: raise a companion that evolves from Cub to Wolf to Dire Beast. A DECK THAT'S YOURS • 260+ cards and 112 relics to discover and combine. • Dozens of enemies, deadly elites, and act-ending bosses. • Potions, events, shops, and a full run economy to master. • Procedurally generated maps: plan your path every run. HARDER WHEN YOU'RE READY • A 15-level Ascension ladder that adds a fresh twist each rung. • Shareable run seeds: hand a friend the exact same run and see who survives. BUILT FOR THE WATCH • Play one-handed, offline, anywhere: no iPhone required. • Save and resume any run instantly. • A collection log that fills in as you discover cards, relics, and foes. Pay once. No ads. No in-app purchases. Ever. From Stone Golem Studios.
