🎰 What to Expect in This Build:

  • Poker Synergy: Form Full Houses, Flushes or the elusive Royal Flush to trigger massive bonuses and devastating ultimate attacks.

  • Tactical Roguelite Loops: Navigate a procedural map of rusted vertical labyrinths, battling robot sentries and upgrading your gear at rest areas. (This is a playtest version so it will be roguelike for now)
