Start your adventure in Draft of Darkness by selecting a hero and building your starting deck. Play this roguelike deckbuilding game with a touch of survival horror and resource management mechanics in a post-apocalyptic setting.

Choose your strategy by building unique decks and combining cards from different weapon types. Depending on which type of weapon you use, you will be able to draw different cards. Create insane combos by mixing weapons and using their unique mechanics.

You'll be able to explore procedurally generated maps, finding friends or foes that lurk deep into the shadows. Try avoiding radiation and infections at all costs by managing the status of your party. But don't worry if you die. Whenever your run ends, you will be rewarded with credits that are used to open booster packs and unlock new cards for the next run.

Every decision you make will alter the outcome of the story in Draft of Darkness's unique ''meta-story progression'' system. Some of them even have serious consequences so be careful what you choose on your next run.

These are some of the features you will find during your gameplay:

Your choices will impact your story
Collect better equipment and cards
Fight in a turn-based combat system
Explore a post-apocalyptic city
Build a party of survivors each with their own deck of abilities
