About Nadir: A Grimdark Deck Builder - Prologue


ABANDON ALL HOPE, YE WHO ENTER HERE
Nadir: Grimdark Deck Builder - Prologue is a free introduction to the dark deck building rogue-like adventure, with artwork burning of infernal fire and extraordinary inspirations straight from Dante’s Divine Comedy. The illegitimate child of Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon awaits you!
Command an avatar of one of the Deadly Sins in 1v1 fights against powerful demons.

🔥 DOUBLE CARDS
Engage in card battles where each of your cards can be played in two ways, depending on its color: blue or red. Balance between them to your advantage, but be careful, as your every action charges the abilities of the enemy.
🔥 CARDS CRAFTING
Collect red and blue abilities on your journey and combine them into unique double cards, shaping the deck in your own way to prepare for upcoming challenges and survive as long as possible.🔥 EXPAND YOUR CITY
Gather resources during expeditions to expand the city of Nadir and unlock new characters, cards, and vendors. Develop your underworld kingdom and increase your chances in future fights until you can beat the boss and unlock new Sins.
🔥 DEADLY SINS
Each of the Sins brings their own set of enemies that greatly alter your gamestyle. Learning it and developing a strategy to beat it is the key to building a powerful deck and surviving each fight.🔥 A JOURNEY UNLIKE ANY OTHER
Watch your back on your way to the bottom of Nadir, taking time to admire its horrific look. It might feel familiar – from the wonders of the Divine Comedy, to desaturated aesthetics of Sin City, to the unforgettable design of Hellboy – yet not comfortable at all.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players appreciate the game's distinctive grimdark atmosphere, Dante-inspired setting, and fresh deck-building mechanics with interesting combo potential, comparing it favorably to Inscryption. However, reviewers note the prologue feels unfinished and incomplete, with a short campaign, limited enemy and card variety, occasional balance issues, and difficulty spikes that detract from the strategic experience. Most agree the game shows promise and potential but needs significant additional development and refinement before its full release.
Perfect Great ☑ Decent Painfully Average Garbage1 found this helpful
Nadir: A Grimdark Deck Builder – Prologue, developed by Team Nadir and Black Eye Games and published by Black Eye Games, is a dark fantasy roguelike card battler that mixes strategic deck-building with oppressive grimdark atmosphere and surprisingly complex tactical mechanics. Acting as an introduction to the larger game, the prologue already delivers a substantial amount of depth while establishing a world filled with demonic horrors, corrupted landscapes, and brutal survival. Although clearly inspired by successful deck-building roguelikes, the game manages to separate itself through its distinctive visual identity and its emphasis on enemy reaction systems that force players to think carefully about every move they make. The first thing that immediately stands out is the game’s atmosphere. Nadir embraces an extremely bleak aesthetic inspired by medieval horror, infernal mythology, and grotesque dark fantasy imagery. Every environment feels corrupted and hostile, filled with twisted creatures, ruined architecture, and oppressive visual designs that reinforce the feeling of descending deeper into a cursed underworld. The game’s grimdark identity is not simply decorative. It shape…1 found this helpful
great concept
Good idea and def has potential but it needs way more work, it's not ready to play yet
Игра 'Nadir: A Grimdark Deck Builder - Prologue' оставляет смешанные впечатления. Мрачная, стильная атмосфера и необычный сеттинг, вдохновленный Данте, сразу привлекают внимание. Механика построения колоды ощущается свежо, с интересными возможностями комбо и фокусом на манипуляции позициями карт в "кругу греха". Однако, пролог оставляет ощущение незаконченности. Кампания слишком короткая, чтобы полностью освоить все механики, а разнообразие врагов и карт кажется ограниченным. Боевая система требует тактического мышления, но иногда страдает от случайности, а баланс сложности не всегда удачен. В целом, 'Nadir: A Grimdark Deck Builder - Prologue' - это многообещающая демоверсия. Она демонстрирует потенциал интересной карточной игры с уникальной атмосферой, но нуждается в доработке баланса и расширении контента, чтобы стать действительно выдающейся. Рекомендую ознакомиться, если вас привлекает гримдарк сеттинг и нестандартные построители колод.
very similar to inscryption, and I love the style of the game. prologue has a lot of replayability so you can mix and mingle whatever card decks you want.
