About This Demo

This is not just another poker game. Welcome to Hellsino, a twisted casino where you fight against the dealer for your eternal soul.

In this dark, tactical roguelike deckbuilder, combat takes place on a high-stakes grid. Every card you drop deals direct damage to the dealer. Arrange your cards to form classic 3-card poker hands to trigger massive multipliers based on card values. Face cards hold true power, with the Jack counting as 11, Queen as 12, and King as 13. Align your patterns horizontally and vertically to trigger a devastating Nexus Multiplier for game-breaking damage surges.

The casino floor always wins unless you rig the system. Play smart, cheat dirty, and clear out the house before your debt catches up to you.

You start each run with a full deck of 54 cards. These cards are your actual life total. The dealer will stop at nothing to shred your deck. Plan your grid placement wisely to shield your high-value cards, or sacrifice useless ranks to absorb incoming blows.

Survive distinct Acts divided into scaling threat levels to win Soul Chips. Spend your earnings in the shop to acquire over 45 game-changing Perks and Cheat Cards to break the traditional rules of the house. Force flushes, duplicate cards with Mirror Ink, or deploy heavy shields to secure your board.

When your bank is nearly bankrupt, unleash the ultimate desperation play. Trigger a massive damage bonus fueled directly by the shields you lost during the run. Give the house one final nightmare before you go under.
