About We Slay Monsters

We Slay Monsters streamlines traditional roguelike RPG gameplay and introduces a unique poker-esque card based combat mechanic. Each class (Wizard, Rogue, Warrior) has a unique deck of cards; using this deck you will guide your hero through the dungeon. Each dungeon is designed to play in short bursts, with a single dungeon taking 15-25 minutes to complete (or even less if your hero dies).
The Academy For Dungeoneering
In We Slay Monsters, the player is tasked with the rebuilding of the once prestigious Academy For Dungeoneering, famous for training generations of heroes, but long since fallen into disrepair.
The Academy is your persistent base that can be upgraded over time with gold earned by performing successful quests for nearby towns. Heroes may die, but your Academy lives on.
Features
- Poker-esque card-based combat mechanic. Most hands that would be valid in poker are valid here, except the deck is made up of six suits instead of four, with face values from 1-9 instead of Ace-King. Flushes can be made with only three of the same suit, and any flush results in a super attack. Each suit has a unique attack ability.
- Campaign against the Institute of Evil. In the campaign, you square off against the Institute of Evil, a rival school responsible for training evil beasts and strange bosses to take over the world.
- Endless supply of recruits. Permadeath means a hero might die, but your Academy has an endless supply of new recruits willing to risk all for fame and fortune.
- Over 35 monsters which can be unlocked. Each monster has unique abilities, and monsters are unlocked over time as you complete quests.

We Slay Monsters takes an unusual approach to the roguelike dungeon crawler by combining fantasy adventuring with a combat system inspired by poker. Instead of relying on conventional turn-based commands or action-heavy battles, it asks players to build useful card combinations and turn those hands into attacks. Developed and published by Furiously Inactive Games, the game has a relatively compact scope, but its distinctive mechanics give it an identity that separates it from more traditional dungeon-crawling RPGs. Players can adventure as a Wizard, Rogue, or Warrior, with each class receiving its own deck and combat characteristics. Cards are numbered from 1 through 9 and divided among six suits, with different combinations determining the effectiveness of attacks. Familiar concepts such as flushes appear, although the rules are adjusted specifically for the game's combat system rather than following real poker exactly. This makes the mechanics approachable even for players who have little interest in poker while still rewarding those who enjoy probability, hand management, and tactical decision-making. Combat becomes particularly engaging when a less-than-perfect selection of c…
We Slay Monsters is a small action game that puts me in the role of a monster hunter and keeps the focus firmly on fighting dangerous creatures. The premise is simple, but that works in its favour because I can get into the action quickly without having to work through a huge amount of setup. The combat is the main reason I would keep playing. Battles reward me for paying attention to enemy movements and choosing the right moments to attack, and tougher monsters give the basic system more room to shine. There is a satisfying difference between simply surviving an encounter and learning how an enemy behaves well enough to defeat it consistently. I also like the straightforward progression. Defeating monsters and improving my character gives me a reason to take on increasingly difficult challenges. It is not overloaded with complicated RPG systems, so the upgrades feel like useful additions to the combat rather than a distraction from it. The biggest problem is that the core loop can become repetitive. Once I have fought the same groups of enemies several times, the novelty starts to disappear. More monster types with genuinely different behaviours, additional weapons or more spec…
Nice free to play roguelike, card battler and turn-based strategy game. A hidden gem!
