A poker-powered deckbuilding adventure
Three tables stand in a circle of stones in the misty heart of the old woods, forming a portal to a soaring world drawn from the pages of ancient Norse and Middle Eastern mythology. There, you will embark on a journey to save Cardrasil, the Life Tree, from the evil that gnaws at her roots. Each card of the enchanted deck she entrusts to you are leaves plucked from her very branches. Use them to evoke your abilities and unleash devastating, poker-powered attacks. Grow your own power, prune your own deck, but make haste! The seasons are changing; warmth won’t be free for long.


New Invernal Spiral Game Mode


Brand new way to play Aces & Adventures: The Invernal Spiral, a deck-manager mode inspired by games like Slay the Spire that allows you to build and curate your deck throughout a lengthier adventure.

  • Fast-paced gameplay delivered in highly consumable 10-20 minute sessions.
  • 5 Characters, each with their own library of abilities and 30 levels of advancement.
  • Unlock powerful traits and equipment as you progress through your journey.
  • 13 fully-voiced campaigns and 4 games for a total of 52 levels of escalating challenge
  • Procedurally generated runs ensure endless unique experiences.
  • Build your own decks, and upgrade your abilities to Elite and Legendary potency.




Gameplay
A unique combination of traditional playing cards and special ability cards sits at the heart of Aces & Adventures. You’ll craft a deck and choose how to use your resources – do you aim to defeat your opponents through attacks and spells, or play cards in order to potentially draw devastating high-value poker hands and obliterate your foes in a mighty blow?



  • Use the four suits as mana to activate your abilities.
  • Throw a single card as an attack; high card wins.
  • Go poker-powered and throw a pair, triple, four-of-a-kind, or valid five-card poker hand.
  • The defender tries to match the number of cards in attack. If the defender plays a better hand of that size, the attacker takes the damage
  • Combine buffs, debuffs, abilities and spells to unleash combination attacks of catastrophic power.

9/10 One of the best roguelike games I’ve ever played. The exceptional presentation is what, at first glance, places this game in the top tier of the genre. This presentation is reflected in the outstanding creativity of the storytelling, a very interesting & compelling art style, great gameplay with a well balanced mix of luck & skill, and an engaging fully narrated campaign. Mixing both poker hands and ability & skill cards is truly a breath of fresh air in the genre. The replay value is solid, but you get the feeling that it won’t be the same once you reach the max level. You can adventure as one of 5 different characters across 13 story-driven campaigns or procedurally generated adventures. Campaign is long enought and takes place in a fantasy world inspired by Norse and Arabic mythology. One thing that could have been done a bit better is the balance between classes – two classes feel somewhat inferior compared to the others, at least that’s the initial impression. It’s entirely possible that this won’t be the case once you unlock new cards. Personally, I’m not a fan of the realistic style of the main menu, as it gives the impression that it belongs to a completely different game. However, this is something most players will likely overlook. It would be great if there were some DLC’s available and possibly additional cosmetic items to unlock, such as card designs, playmats, and things like that. The game is so well made that I’m convinced it’s worth giving the rest of the Triple.B.Titles team’s games a chance. Honest recommendation.
  • Exceptional presentation and compelling storytelling
  • Fully narrated and voice acted campaign with interesting art style
  • Great gameplay & unique playstyle with one of 5 different characters
  • UI design and funktionality
  • No additional DLC’s or any kind of bonus content, card packs, cosmetics to unlock etc
