概要
RogueJack21 reinvents the classic casino game as a gritty roguelike deckbuilder set in a neon-lit criminal underworld. Players build powerful decks to battle through procedurally generated casinos, using card synergies and suit-specific perks to defeat opponents in high-stakes duels where every hand deals damage.
ストーリー
You are Jack, a man with nothing left to lose, seeking revenge against The House—a ruthless mafia ruling over Noir City. Navigate the decayed labyrinths of the Hollow Slums and infiltrate underground gambling dens to confront the crime lords who stole your life, one hand of cards at a time.
Gameplay
Combat follows standard Blackjack rules—hit or stand to get close to 21 without busting—but with a deadly twist: your hand value determines damage dealt. Players must manage a draw pile, utilize limited 'Double Down' actions for massive hits, and strategically employ suit powers (like Hearts for healing or Spades for damage) to survive the permadeath run.
