## Description

Go on a journey and fight monsters... by playing poker hands!

Poker and Sorcery is a turn based single player RPG heavily inspired by an old game called Sword & Poker.

**This game can be played for free with one of the characters. Players have the option to purchase the full game, which unlocks the remaining characters.**

Life in the countryside is upended when monsters start pouring out from an old tower in the mountains. You decide to travel to the tower to investigate. Find new weapons, collect artifacts and learn new skills along the way.

FEATURES

- Choose between four different classes: Hunter, warrior, mage and rogue, each with different starting skills and weapon proficiencies
- Find over 30 different weapons that inflict various status effects depending on the poker hand played
- Find over 30 different artifacts that help you in various ways
- Made with phones in mind: Short, bite-sized battles in portrait mode to play on the go
- Fully playable offline

## Review summary

Reviewers largely welcome the revival of Sword & Poker, praising nostalgia and solid mechanics. However, they repeatedly note the game is too short and lacks replay value, report several bugs and UX issues (tutorial lock, exit problems, rotation limits), and want more content (campaigns, levels, classes, weapons, and a store). The sentiment is enthusiastic about the concept but contingent on future updates addressing stability and depth.

### Pros

- Nostalgia and revival of the Sword & Poker vibe that fans loved.
- Solid mechanics and engaging poker-hand-based combat.
- Clear interest in ongoing updates and expansions with willingness to pay.
- Accessible yet challenging gameplay that appeals to fans of the original.

### Cons

- Very short length with limited gameplay and replay value.
- Bugs and UX issues reported across reviews (tutorial lock after update; exit/abort problems; rotation limitations).
- Missing core features and content (campaigns, more levels/classes/weapons, in-game store).
