💀 Read First: Who Is This Game For?

• Players who proudly serve the Demon Lord. 😈

🎮 Game Overview

CardVenture: Just A Head is a 2D cartoon-style action roguelike that blends real-time action with turn-based combat.

You play as the decapitated head of the Demon Lord, setting out on a journey to reclaim your throne.
Battle, build, and choose wisely as you rally your lost followers, challenge the usurping Black Dragon Queen, and uncover the truth behind your own sealing.

The game requires zero reaction speed, yet delivers satisfying, fast-paced combat with deep strategy, dark humor, and a uniquely whimsical tone.

✨ Key Features

⚔️ Turn-Based Action Combat

Enemies only act after you move — no twitch reflexes required!
Experience the soulslike thrill of dodging and countering, but with clear, controllable pacing.
You can take it slow… or go all-in with stylish parries and dodges!

🧠 Build System with Endless Possibilities

Dozens of weapons × hundreds of ability cards =
a brand-new Build every run.

🃏 A World Made of Cards

Randomly generated maps filled with secrets, events, and hidden rooms.
Everything in the world — environments, enemies, NPCs, chests — is a card you can interact with or destroy!

🐉 Creative Boss Fights

Every boss has its own distinct behavior —
whether it’s Tetris, card-drawing, chess moves, or cloning…
observe, adapt, and overcome!

💬 Hand-Drawn Cute Cartoon Style

A relaxing flat art style mixed with dark humor and fantasy charm.
