Hellcard II
Hellcard II is a cooperative roguelike deckbuilder that can be played solo or with a team of up to four players. The game takes place in the paper dungeons known from Hellcard and Book of Demons, expanding into new biomes and storylines. The solid deckbuilding foundation of the first game returns, now expanded with character stats and a deeper persistent layer: equipment. Unlock gear that transforms your hero's appearance while modifying your deck, stats, and buffs. Play the way you want, right out of the gate!
What makes Hellcard II unique and different from most deck-building games is that monster placement actually matters and can be used to your advantage. With monsters placed in either melee or ranged distances and divided between heroes, placement is vital for executing the most powerful combos. Hellcard II supports co-op battles with up to four heroes facing the dragon threat. In single-player mode, you control all characters and all strategy. Play as a lone wolf with the power of an entire party at your disposal. In multiplayer mode, coordinate with your friends or strangers to defeat multitudes of foes.Every adventure is unique. The story evolves as you play. Rally your friends, gear up, and defend the realm to uncover the truth behind the dragon menace.
- Build Your Heroes: Achievements unlock gear that can be equipped in future runs, affecting aesthetics, deck composition, and core mechanics.
- Tactical Card Combat: The unique spatial positioning system returns. With monsters placed in either melee or ranged distances and divided between heroes, placement is vital for executing the most powerful combos.
- Ultimate Single-Player Tactical Sandbox: Control all characters and all strategy. Play as a lone wolf with the power of an entire party at your disposal.
- Four person Co-Op Fellowship: Team up with up to three friends in seamless multiplayer battles. Combine deck archetypes to create devastating synergies.
- The Paperverse Expands: Dive back into Thing Trunk's signature "Return 2 Games" aesthetic—a charming world built entirely of paper, now enhanced with new lighting, fluid animations, and richer environments.
- Endless Chronicles: With more character classes, equipable gear, artifacts, and customizable decks, no two stories – and no two battles – will ever play out the same way.
