Handslayer

About this game

Every Battle Is a Three-Hand Showdown

Forget traditional poker.

Handslayer is a single-player roguelike where every battle is fought with three poker hands instead of one. Carefully arrange your cards, predict your opponent's strategy, and outplay them in tactical PvE battles where every decision matters.

Master poker hands, adapt to each encounter, and discover countless ways to build the perfect strategy.

Master the Power of the Four Suits

Every card contributes to more than just your poker hands.

Collecting cards of the same suit unlocks powerful battle bonuses, allowing you to specialize in completely different playstyles.

Hearts — Increase your Attack and gain Lifesteal to outlast your enemies.

Diamonds — Focus on Critical Chance and devastating Critical Damage for explosive attacks.

Clubs — Steal more Gold and earn additional rewards to grow stronger throughout your run.

Spades — Strengthen your Defense and Block Chance to withstand even the deadliest bosses.

Will you commit to a single suit or combine them to create your own strategy?

Choose Ancient Artifacts

Power always comes at a price.

At the beginning of every adventure, you'll discover mysterious Ancient Artifacts that can dramatically reshape your run. Each artifact offers unique strengths, and often equally dangerous drawbacks.

Choose wisely, adapt your strategy, and uncover powerful combinations that can completely change the way you play.

Collect Powerful Relics

Discover relics that transform every battle.

From subtle improvements to game-changing effects, relics create endless opportunities for powerful synergies. Combine them with your poker hands, suit bonuses, artifacts, and skill choices to build strategies capable of overcoming impossible odds.

Every run offers new combinations to discover.

Forge Your Own Path

Unlock powerful nodes in a deep Skill Tree filled with meaningful choices.

Specialize in your favorite playstyle, strengthen your preferred suit, or experiment with entirely new builds. Every node has the potential to reshape your strategy, making each adventure feel unique.

No two runs are ever the same.
