Zoeti is a turn-based roguelike card battler coming to Steam in 2023
During today's Guerrilla Collective 3 stream, publisher Akupara Games and developer Dusklight Games have revealed gameplay for Zoeti, a turn-based roguelike that uses playing cards and poker hands in combat. The game is set to release for Steam in 2023.
In Zoeti, you can pick one of three different characters to progress through a series of battles, gaining new skills and abilities along the way. What sets Zoeti apart from other rogue-like deck builders is that skills are tied to poker hands from a traditional set of playing cards. The rarer the hand - like a straight flush - the stronger the skill. In battle, you are dealt a hand of playing cards, and you need to use your hands carefully as you decide with of your skills you want to use, depending on which poker cand those skills require.
