We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Roguelite players who want repeated runs built around card collection
- RPG fans who enjoy choosing classes, abilities, and equipment
- Players interested in boss decisions that affect whether enemies become allies
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a fixed campaign may bounce off the repeated loop and restart structure after death
- Players who want low-pressure combat may hit a wall at the tough battles and souls-like difficulty
- Players looking for a puzzle, social, or real-time stealth game will find the focus on solo hero-building and card battles mismatched
Our take on Deck of Souls
The bounce point is the run-reset structure: players who do not enjoy repeating battles after death may stop there. Another wall arrives when character building requires choices across classes, abilities, equipment, and enemy cards rather than a fixed setup.
What is Deck of Souls?
Deck of Souls combines roguelite deck-building with souls-like battles in an attempt to break an infinite loop and close the hell gates.
Players create a hero, select from several classes, choose capabilities and appearance, and use an inventory system to shape each run. Defeated enemies provide souls that become cards, allowing abilities from different classes to be combined into a deck. Battles are difficult, and death sends the run back through the cycle. Encounters with bosses include decisions about their fate: they can be executed for their sins or spared and recruited to provide help. The game includes character customization, RPG elements, equipment choices, card construction, repeated runs, and rolls.
