About This Game

A CREATURE-FOCUSED CARD BATTLER MEETS A ROGUELIKE DECKBUILDER

TOP CUT: Locals to Worlds combines expressive creature-card battles with the evolving decks, branching paths, and high-stakes decisions of a roguelike run.

Choose a starter deck and enter Starter City with a compact deck. Battle rival players, discover new cards, and transform your starting deck into a championship contender.

CHOOSE YOUR PLAYSTYLE

Pick from three distinct starter strategies:

• Spicy overwhelms opponents with aggression and direct damage.

• Hearty relies on durable units, healing, and buffing to make your strong units stronger.

• Sweet rewards clever sequencing, card draw, and disruptive combos.

BUILD YOUR DECK DURING EACH RUN

Winning battles reveals new card rewards. Add the cards that strengthen your strategy and upgrade your favorites into shiny more powerful foil versions.

MASTER THE KITCHEN TABLE

Take full control of every turn in a complete tactical card game. Manage your hand, deploy Ingredients, use them to play powerful Meals, equip Tools, activate Chefs, attach Spices, and alter the match with Environments. Choose targets, reposition cards between Prep and Plated zones, decide when to attack or defend, and respond to your rival’s plays. Victory depends on deckbuilding, timing, sequencing, and reading the table.

CHOOSE YOUR ROUTE

Travel across a branching city map filled with:

• Rival card battlers

• Risk-and-reward events

• Card shops and deck services

• Powerful minibosses

• A city champion waiting at the end

Your health, deck, and money persist between stops. Every decision affects whether your a champ or just a chump.
