Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers is a card game with roguelike elements. It was developed by the independent studio Purple Moss Collectors, whose previous portfolio includes smaller scale projects.

Gameplay

In Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers we find ourselves in a tavern overrun by gamblers addicted to a game loosely based on the principles of blackjack. Our task is to challenge them and defeat them all, so the pillar of the game are card duels, which we fight with over 60 characters.

The main element of our deck are standard cards. While heart cards serve us for healing, spades provide protection, clubs deal bonus damage to opponents, and diamonds increase the amount of available currency. In addition to them, tarot cards, business cards, birthday cards or even various passes can also be placed on the table. In total, the game allows us to test 4 unique gameplay styles, as well as try out over 250 cards, each of which offers different possibilities. Over time we also gain access to new starting decks.
