Play it if you…
Good fit- Roguelike fans who want card-based combat and progression between rounds

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a guaranteed positive ending may be put off by the uncertain outcome.

- Players looking for a game centered on genres other than card-based roguelike adventure may find its scope narrow.
Our take on Criminal Dissidia
Its run-based structure allows a legacy from one round to carry into the next, but random encounters and an uncertain ending give up a fully predictable adventure path.
What is Criminal Dissidia?
Criminal Dissidia is a roguelike card game set in a fantasy world threatened by a Mutanian invasion.
Players explore Cyria through an open world with branching paths, face different enemies, and seek the Champion identified as the country’s last hope. Deck-building uses more than 500 cards that can be substituted, upgraded, and enchanted. An elf companion can assist during travel and battles, while random events and ability upgrades add choices during exploration. The roguelike structure allows players to inherit a legacy from the previous round before starting another exploration. The journey includes random boss encounters, and the vendor notes that Cyria offers no promise of a good ending.
