91/100

Deckbane hits the perfect sweet spot for card game lovers looking for deep tactical play. Integrating traditional poker hands into a roguelite RPG framework creates constant tension over hand management and risk taking.

The strategic depth opens up as you discover game-breaking card modifiers and artifact synergies. It is an addictive, highly satisfying card brawler that is tough to put down.
