Deckbuilder Kit Free - Roguelike Card Battler Sampler for Godot 4

A roguelike deckbuilder you can play and build on, for Godot 4, free. A whole run: a branching map, battles against enemies that show what they'll do next, rest sites, shops, treasure, card and relic rewards, and a dragon at the top. 18 cards, 5 enemies and 6 relics in pixel art, with the frames, icons, fonts and sounds, a card shader that tilts, glows and burns away, and all of the code. Every card, enemy and relic is a resource you edit in the inspector. Godot 4.3 to 4.7, every renderer.

Try it first: click Run asset pack above and play a run in your browser.

var run := DeckRun.create()                 # a seed, a map, a starting deck and relic
run.enter(run.choices()[0])                 # the first room
var view := DeckBattleView.new()
view.battle = run.battle()
add_child(view)
var won: bool = await view.finished

What's inside

• Battles: draw, hand, discard and vanish piles, 3 energy a turn, block, and cards played by dragging them up or onto an enemy along an aiming arrow. Enemies show their intent before they act.
• 18 cards, attacks, skills and powers, each with an upgrade, and 3 status cards
• 5 enemies (slime, bat, skeleton, the Stone Golem as elite, the Ember Drake as boss) in 6 encounters
• 6 relics and 10 statuses, each with its icon and tooltip
• The map: 12 floors of branching paths with fights, an elite, rest sites, shops and treasure, and the boss. The same seed makes the same run.
• The art: pixel art at 1x for a 640 x 360 screen, card frames for every type and rarity, icons, nine-patch buttons and panels, two pixel fonts and 23 sounds
• The card shader: tilt, flip, glow, shine, dissolve, greyed, shadow, and foil, holo, prism and gold finishes
• The code: DeckBattle (the rules, followed through signals), DeckRun (the run around them), the content as .tres files, and a view for every screen
• Demo: the whole run, title to boss
