About Death or Glory

It’s time to enter the arena. Are you ready?

Death or Glory the dueling card game takes you to a thrilling world where anyone has the chance to cut through the chaos and become a champion. Assassins stalk giants from the shadows. Warriors smash their fists to shatter the visor of a mech. Werewolves gouge their claws into the flesh of gods. Only champions who master their decks will leave the arena alive...
Step into the soul of one of 11 characters, each falling under one of five core classes. Each class comes with its own resource mechanic and each character comes with a customizable deck - allowing you full control over your champion's moveset. Mastering your class and champion is the key to winning each duel.
Every card is an action; every action can have a reaction. Thrilling combo-centric gameplay lets you deal devastating bursts of damage or catch your opponent out and counter to gain control of the match.
The lands of Death or Glory punish mediocrity mercilessly. Sow devastation across roguelike missions that can earn you powerful cards, in-game currency, and
champion XP.
The bravest fighters will enter the PvP dueling mode in an attempt to climb the ladder and earn seasonal rewards. Only the best will make it to the top!

Feels like a cash grab as is tbh with the flow of the game the lag the janky tutorial that only has a class version and no character version even tho that is an option the discard mechanic feels out of place here i terms of play for me as it makes certain characters feel better then others interns of deck identity the evangelist for example has no choice but to spend a lot of his time passing turn to build of faith by spamming boons which are the only cards they can play to get around their 2 card a turn limit so it's a lot of one attack one defend then you just can't do anything or be punished while techies can just brick endlessly through lack of heat or ammo but monsters just need to play one card to get around their one attack per turn limit and they pop off from their cause most of those same cards also say attack and speed plus one because you discard to start turn then have to discard for being slow and lots of the cards you start with are very slow starting at 2 or 3 while you're getting spammed by 4 speed cards you end up in a lot of i take damage or i discard more and as far as i have seen there are no discard synergies besides maybe healing a bit it then further doesn't…

Death or Glory is a strategy-focused card battler developed and published by Distilled Gaming Company that blends competitive deckbuilding systems with roguelike progression and tactical combat. Rather than following the standard formula established by many digital card games, it introduces mechanics built around reactions, timing, and momentum shifts that create a more active style of decision-making.

Instead of treating combat purely as a sequence of turns where players wait for opportunities to act, Death or Glory builds encounters around interaction and counterplay. Every move creates potential responses, making battles feel dynamic and unpredictable. One of the strongest aspects of the experience comes from its champion design. Players select heroes with dif…

This game has a lot going for it, and actually reminds me a little bit of a physical TCG called Flesh and Blood if it had a more traditional resource system. It's a completely different game of course, but I can't help but feel like it inspired Death or Glory in some way. It would be really nice if there was a setting that let you change the animation speed, as it can feel really really slow especially after you understand the game and mechanics.

Was a cool game with lots of potential, but they sunset the game less than 2 months after release. Wild to just take the money and abandon the game right away, really disappointing from the devs
