Description
Short
A roguelike deckbuilder where your cards are both your actions and your resources.
Long
Dead Hand is a post-apocalyptic roguelike deckbuilder drawn in the raw style of 1990s American comics.
Every card has an effect, and an energy value while it stays in your hand. Your hand’s energy, capped at 10, pays for the cards you play: every card is a choice between playing it now and keeping it to fuel something bigger.
Pick one of six survivors, each with their own deck, weapons and story. Cross eight devastated biomes, from the flooded metro to the overrun zoo, recruit allies that grow stronger with their own kills, and push as far as you can before the horde catches up.
