Deck of Stabs

Hundreds of cards. Four heroes. Five worlds. Countless builds, challenges, combinations, and secrets to discover.

Deck of Stabs is a roguelike deck-builder where your deck is your arsenal. Choose from four unique heroes, each with their own collection of 60+ weapons, and build your deck as you battle through five distinct worlds packed with unique enemies, encounters, treasures, and bosses.

Discover over 250 weapon cards, equip powerful items, learn new skills, brew up rare potions, and forge your favorite weapons with special upgrades. Every run gives you new ways to build, experiment, and discover devastating combinations.

Four Heroes. Four Ways to Stab.

Choose from four heroes, each with their own cards, mechanics, skills, and strategies::

Steelhand – A battle-hardened warrior who overwhelms enemies with powerful weapons, stuns, and brute force.

Bladedancer – Strike fast with cheap attacks, thrown weapons, poison, and deadly precision.

Runecutter – Harness ancient runes, tap into elemental energies, and unleash explosive magical attacks.

Hexrazor – Curse your enemies, turn corpses into fuel for dark magic, and maybe even raise the dead.

As your hero levels up, you'll learn unique skills that open up new strategies and enhance different styles of play. Reach level 10 to unlock a devastating ultimate skill, from cheating death to raising your enemies as undead servants.

Build More Than a Deck

Your cards are only the beginning.

Equip up to eight items from a huge collection of weapons, armor, rings, and other treasures. Items belong to sets of three—and discovering and equipping a complete set can unlock a powerful hidden ability.

Find forge stones and use them to customize your favorite cards. Make a weapon cheaper to play, increase its damage, coat it in poison, make it heal you, or choose from a variety of other upgrades. Instead of simply making a card "better," you decide how to make it better—and which upgrades best fit your build.

Potions provide another trick up your sleeve, offering everything from healing and armor to experience, dodging, and some particularly powerful effects if you're lucky enough to find the rarest brews.

Five Worlds to Conquer and Endless Challenge

Fight your way through the Forest, Desert, Dungeon, Graveyard, and Mountain, each with its own enemies and a unique world boss waiting at the end.

But reaching the end is only the beginning.

Your Collection grows as you discover new weapons, items, and skills, giving you new options for future runs. Experiment with different heroes, starting abilities, equipment, card combinations, skills, item sets, and forge upgrades to find entirely new ways to play.

Then put those builds to the test with Challenges that transform the rules. Can you win without items? Without skills? Against much stronger enemies? With a deck you can never cull?
