About

Deckbuilder

DECKBUILDER is a roguelike deckbuilder: build a deck of startup moves, fight rival companies turn by turn, and steal cards straight from their announced roadmaps. STEAL FROM THEIR ROADMAP Enemies show their upcoming moves before they happen. Play steal cards to take those moves for yourself — their attack becomes your card. FIGHT THROUGH FOUR ACTS Choose your route through a branching map of fights, elites, shops, events and rest sites, with a boss at the end of each act. Lose and the run is over. Win all four acts and take your company public. BUILD A DIFFERENT DECK EVERY RUN Choose new cards after battles, upgrade them at rest sites, and buy perks and single-use drinks in the shop. Three founder classes offer different starting decks and mechanics. COLLECT BETWEEN RUNS Earn Demo Day spins as you clear acts. Spins award cards for your permanent collection or foil, holo and prismatic card finishes. Duplicates grant options, which you can spend on a specific unowned card or finish from the collection catalog. A prismatic finish is guaranteed within 12 spins, and the odds are shown in the app. SHARE A SEED. TRY THE DAILY. Every run has a seed you can share and replay. The daily challenge uses a shared map and modifiers for everyone. PLAY WITHOUT ENERGY TIMERS There are no energy timers or limited lives. The app contains ads; a one-time purchase removes them. PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish (Spain and Latin America), Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese are supported. The game follows your device's preferred language, and you can change it in Settings.
