Jan. 2025
This is a phenomenal, unique, and underrated game that can be replayed endlessly, but you must accept and enjoy it for what it is, rather than comparing it to superficially similar games. The developers perfectly explain this: "Poker Quest feels a lot like a deck-builder, but is fundamentally very different... contains a vast, novel set of game mechanics that centrally focus on the properties of the playing cards." Really it's not a deck builder at all, but a kind of dealer's choice poker game where each (combat) round's format is determined by the enemy you are battling. You don't build a deck, but rather optimize a character, whose skills, stats, and equipment, combined with the enemy's, form the ruleset for these rounds, and thus change dramatically through the course of a run, and between runs. Unlike most generic rogue-likes or deck-builders, where choosing skills, equipment, and cards IS the game, and decisions in combat itself are often little more than perfunctory proofs of your build, in Poker Quest your build merely determines the mechanics and parameters of a combinatorially rich card game, which you then have to skillfully compete at by drawing and playing cards using probabilistic principles typical of strategies employed in traditional card games. If you have no interest or facility with this latter aspect, then you are apt to fail or simply not enjoy the game. For this reason I suspect it will be far more appealing to those interested in poker, bridge, or skat than to the average slay the spire player. Playing your hands is the meat of the game, and although you can choose more "autopilot" characters and load-outs to reduce the complexity of your choices and speed through battles, this can mean sacrificing opportunities for an edge and exposing yourself to more random losses. Since heroes and equipment fundamentally alter the rules, rather than simply modifying stats, each character and build feels deeply distinct and uses completely different strategies in a way that stands out from any deck builder or CRPG I've played. And I much prefer the vehicle of standard playing cards for conveying randomness, which has been familiar, tried and true for centuries and across continents, rather than yet another statistical invention of some game developer. The game can be played as casually or as brutally as you like depending on the mode you select and whether you take a smaller win or "raise the stakes" to reach the final boss, and as with any traditional card game, you can occasionally find yourself in situations you just can't win. But I quite enjoy losing and improving at this game, which is to me an essential mark of a good one.

The game is really challenging, the maps are random, and strategy is a key factor. All things I look for in a game. Also, the game is turn based so you can play while watching a movie. Great casual game.

Lots of fun, very addictive. RNG can be a bit much at times, but that's kind of expected with the genre.

I started playing this game on kongregte when it was still in development, to see how well of a game it has turned into seeing its improvement over the years amazes me. Came in not knowing a single thing about poker, left a gambling addict.
