Skystone Games and independent developer Thing Trunk announced the February release of HELLCARD, the latest story in the Book of Demons series. Players can also check out the now available HELLCARD: Prologue to get a preview of what is to come.
Taking place in the paper dungeons first introduced in Book of Demons, HELLCARD features mechanics that revolve around deckbuilding and fast-paced technical battles. To separate the game from other deckbuilders, the game brings a range of features that require players to think carefully about each move. For example, monster placement actually matters and can be an advantage or detriment in battle.
Co-op battles offer a multiplayer option for those who like group environments. Up to three heroes can face off against the Archdemon’s hordes. Bother friends and random strangers can be selected for multiplayer gameplay.
For solo gameplay there is single-player mode. One can descend into the dungeons alone or recruit AI-controlled companions to share the work load.
Along with the HELLCARD: Prologue release is a new trailer. The 80 second video showcases gameplay elements that take bits from several genres including adventure, RPG, and strategy. All of these elements combine to create a unique co-op deckbuilding roguelike experience.
HELLCARD launches in Early Access on PC via Steam on February 16, 2023. The HELLCARD: Prologue is available free to play on Steam. Visit the game’s Steam product pages for more information.
