Have you noticed that card games have been getting roguelike/roguelite twists lately? Sure, one such title got Game of the Year nominations, but sometimes, you have to wonder what’s in these people’s minds when they make these games. For example, the team at Blargis revealed a new card-battling roguelike named Blackout Jack, where you have to make the best deck possible so you can kill the dealer you’re playing against!

“Blackout Jack is a single-player, story-driven roguelike deckbuilder set in the underbelly of a seedy, grimdark city. Play a deathly version of the classic card game where smart planning, high-number hits, and uncovered knowledge allow players to stay alive one more round and stop the dealer from delivering the final fatality on the player.

Uncover secret tools to unlock more of the world and give a fighting chance against the ever-encroaching death from the dealer. Find lockpicks, poisons, and cryptic information to help stack the odds against your demise.”

So, yeah, this card battler just got dark! Regardless, you’ll need to use your cards to the best of your ability when Blackout Jack drops on Steam! Wishlist it now!
