About

Grim Hand

Features
Read full description

Your weapon is your deck. Carry a sword and your hand fills with sword cards. Switch to a bow and everything you can do changes with it. Grim Hand is a dark fantasy roguelike deckbuilder for phones, made by one person over two years. A blacksmith loses his family. What follows is not a triumph — it is four acts of trying to live with it. EVERY CARD IS A DECISION Enemies strike after every single card you play, not once per round. There is no safe turn. Read the board, choose, and live with it. DEATH IS FINAL Every run deals a different deck across a different map. No checkpoints, no continues. You start again, and you start smarter. FOUR ACTS, HAND DRAWN Camps to rest at, a forge to upgrade at, curious events that can save a run or end it, and bosses that will end it more often. A bestiary fills in as you meet what lives down there. SOULS THAT CHANGE THE RUN Earn souls between runs and equip them to reshape the next one. None of them is a flat damage bonus. Each asks you to play differently. NOTHING TO GRIND No packs. No duplicates. No energy timers. No daily login. No loot boxes. No ads. No subscription. A complete single player game that works with no connection at all. TRY IT FIRST The demo is free up to the first mini-boss. One purchase unlocks everything after that — all four acts, every boss and legendary, every soul and forge upgrade. Bought once, yours permanently. If you like turn-based deckbuilders, tactical card games and dungeon crawlers where one misplayed card ends a two-hour run, this was built for you.
