Decks of the Damned

[h1]If only this game have received a little more attention... [i]Maybe[/i] then developer could have had a motivation to actually finish it...[/h1] But it didn't. And the game was left in pretty bad shape. They didn't even remove "Wishlist on steam" link - looks like some kind of artifact from a demo. It's playable, yes, but other reviews are right - core gameplay is ok for one, maybe two runs and then it becomes outright boring. Game is just too easy (spawn all 9 minions and you can zerg-rush all human settlements) and too repetitive (build the same 5 crafting stations over and over). I [i]did[/i] enjoy it myself, but it isn't something I could in good conscience recommend to anyone else. Except if the game is on 50% sale again and you are [i]huge[/i] fan os Stacklands, like me - than it [i]might[/i] be worth it even in this sorry state.

Way too tedious to recommend. Having enough resources to craft but having to pull the perfect amount feels way too unnecessary. I'd love to dive into the game more but this is severely holding me back.

This game is defiantly worth 10$. But dont expect anything more than 10$ worth of gameplay. The 1st run is fun and getting new content is great, but it gets very repetitive very quickly. If you like these kind of "stackland" games, you will love this. If you dont, you will like the first go around. Game has potential, just needs more content and variety.

Loved it. Scratched an itch I needed. This is a strong recommend for anyone who likes tableau card games like this. I'll go over what it does great, but lets start with the cons: - Some ongoing bugs (rescuing items from bandits leaves the items locked, if you fill your wagon and go on two raids in a row some of your items will be deleted, missing recipes, etc.) - One broken achievement (greatsword) and one broken artifact quest (30 blood) - Some frustrating balance decisions (castle has no customizability and is a nightmare to finish, some spawns and drops are so rare as to be impossible to rely on [seriously, just use summoner for a centaur wagon don't bother trying to tame one, but also you never actually need that wagon imo], procs are time based but they only last a few seconds which is too short for them to actually matter, potions suck lol, and omg a volcano event took out the only ruby I ever earned in 30 hours wtf, etc.) - Surprisingly long and slow gameplay. It gets repetitive in early runs when you have limited things to craft and biomes to see, and then again in late game once you've mastered the flow and can skip bothering with half the resources to 'speedrun' it - Min…

Decks of the Damned, developed by Thorian Games and published by Goblinz Publishing alongside Maple Whispering Limited, is an ambitious genre hybrid that fuses deckbuilding, roguelite progression, auto-battler logic, and light base management into a single interconnected system. Rather than focusing on one dominant mechanic, it builds its identity around how these systems interact, creating a gameplay loop that feels layered and experimental. It’s a game that asks players not just to make tactical decisions, but to construct a functioning ecosystem where every card, resource, and unit contributes to survival. The premise casts the player as a vampire lord rebuilding power in a hostile world, but instead of traditional armies or units, everything is represented through cards placed on a shared board. Creatures, resources, buildings, and enemies all exist within this space, and progress is achieved by combining them in logical ways. Placing a unit card onto an enemy initiates combat, combining materials enables crafting, and positioning elements correctly allows for efficient resource generation. This tactile, almost puzzle-like interaction gives the game a distinctive feel, turning…

is not bad. got to have patience to play this.
