Brings what grabs you about Serial World: cards and deck-building, turn-based combat as well as runs that differ every time.

A deckbuilding roguelike set in a shabby sci-fi world where you both fight and negotiate using separate card decks. Three distinct character campaigns and meaningful choices make each run play out differently.

Guild of Dungeoneering

Cards and deck-building

You never control the hero directly; instead you play cards to build the dungeon around him, placing rooms, monsters, traps and loot. Combat resolves via card choices, wrapped in a charming doodle art style, quirky humor and a funny narrated soundtrack.

Crush the Industry

Cards and deck-building

You claw your way to the top of a big game studio in a roguelike deckbuilder styled after classic JRPGs. Pixel art and satirical humor about the games industry meet turn-based card battles.

Monster Train

Cards and deck-building

A roguelike deckbuilder where you defend a hellish train across three floors against heavenly armies. Clever clan pairings and powerful synergies make every run feel different.

Monster Slayers

Cards and deck-building

A roguelike deckbuilder where you build a hero with classes, gear and a card deck, fighting through turn-based battles against monsters in the Northern Valley. The tone is lighthearted and character progression is the focus.

Fuzz Force: Spook Squad

Cards and deck-building

A turn-based roguelike deckbuilder set in a spooky board-game world where you hunt ghosts with customizable dice-powered weapons. Random events, battles and treasure lead you toward the PolterPrince.

Solitairica

Cards and deck-building

Solitairica fuses classic solitaire with roguelike combat: clearing cards charges your spells and damages enemies while you build up a hero with items and abilities. It all comes wrapped in a tongue-in-cheek fantasy tone.

Cardpocalypse

Lots of humour

A humorous 90s-style school-days card game where you collect and trade cards, then duel in matches where the rules can shift. A charming story about friendship and school life ties it together.
