About this game

A roguelike card dungeon. Simple to play, brutal to survive.

Every run begins with a deck of danger. Flip cards to reveal monsters, traps, and the rare chance to heal. Choose wisely. One wrong move ends your descent. Scoundrel distills the tension of a dungeon crawl into a quick, replayable card game focused entirely on risk and survival.

Features
• Fast, satisfying runs built for quick play sessions
• Randomized decks that make every descent unique
• Hand-drawn parchment visuals and candlelit atmosphere
• No ads, no energy systems, pure gameplay
• Offline play with instant restarts

How to Play
• Flip cards to reveal monsters or healing
• Attack, heal, or escape to stay alive
• Earn higher scores the longer you survive

Dungeon Run (Optional Upgrade)
Dungeon Run adds a deeper way to play, with multi-floor progression that starts manageable and grows tougher.
Includes inventory to store weapons and healing across floors.

Classic mode is always free.

No ads. Just cards and fate.

Ratings and reviews

excellent implementation of the classic game! two critiques. first, you have provided the original rules on your website which include "[Weakened weapons] can only fight monsters with a value less than OR EQUAL TO its last kill." In the app you have that monsters of equal strength cannot be fought with weapons. this diverges from the original rules. I would recommend changing either the mechanic or the website wording second: get an artist for your card art. AI sucks. Otherwise I love it!

A great no nonsense game of scoundrel. Offline, and no ads for the classic game. there is a cosmetic purchase, and a different game mode for purchase (at a very fair price) if you want to support the developer. I would definitely recommend this one if you like scoundrel.

This is a legit app for playing Scoundrel. It's got good music, good sound effects, and the game gives you all the rules for playing. There are no ads at all, and it works fine offline. You can upgrade to some extra features for $2, a ridiculously cheap price. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm really tempted to. But the game is entirely free to play and win without this optional purchase. And you can use the rules in the app to learn how to play this with a physical deck of cards

What’s new

Beat the dungeon, then beat the clock.

• Leaderboards now track your time. A new Time column appears on both the High Scores table and your Dungeon Run scores, so you can chase a faster clear as well as a higher score.

• Rating the game no longer throws you out to Google Play. It now happens right inside Scoundrel.
