Oddluck
Read full descriptionHide full description
Make your move. Oddluck does the rest. Oddluck is a cozy roguelike deck-builder about the one game everyone is already playing: life. Pick a Dream โ Own an Island, Build a Pizza Empire, Never Work Again โ build a deck of Action, Income, Skill, and Asset cards, and manage Coins, Energy, Joy, and Freedom across a run that fits in a lunch break. Then Oddluck happens. Lucky, unlucky, chaotic โ or a choice that's really a trap. 84 events land somewhere on every run. A stray bike tire. A market that turns on you. A cat that watches, unbothered, while it all unfolds. You did your part. Now see what happens. EIGHT WORLDS, ONE RUN Start in Pocketwood Plains and push through Independence Island, Credit City, Chaos County, Opportunity Kingdom, Lifestyle Mountain, Market Maze, and Freedom Frontier. Each world has its own creatures โ the Impulse Goblin, the Flash Sale Fairy, the Interest Hydra, Captain Catastrophe, the Want Monster โ and its own boss waiting at the end. BUILD THE DECK, BEAT THE ODDS โข Draft, upgrade, and trim a deck of 75 cards. Income engines, skill combos, asset synergies โ every build plays differently. โข Every run is a new seed. Roguelike permadeath: win, lose, or go out laughing, then run it back with a different deck. โข Money mechanics you can actually feel โ debt, interest, lifestyle creep, burn rate โ inside a life sim that never lectures. No dollar signs. Just Coins. โข A world that visibly changes as you play. Watch your choices take shape. โข Beat your records: farthest world, fastest Dream, first clear. Share the run card at the end. Brag, or confess. โข Single player, turn-based, fully offline. Runs of about 30 minutes; no wifi needed. For fans of roguelike deckbuilders and card roguelites who want something warmer, stranger, and about their actual life. A strategy card game. A life sim. A luck simulator with a cat in it. Make your move.

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 โ 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.
