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

EDIT, Thank you for your response! looking forward to the updates! TIP: YOU CAN WIN. Make sure you use your best weapons to beat several strong monsters (14s - 10s) in a row before switching weapons. I wish there was an option to add in some wild cards or alternative rules to make the game more beatable. the game feels impossible to beat sometimes without smoke bombs or a wild card (joker). a backpack card (to store 1 weapon and 1 potion) would be a cool idea too.

I enjoy the quality of the gameplay (art, atmospheric music, etc) However I'm pretty new to Scoundrel as a game and the app's 'How to play' instructions do not go into any detail whatsoever on the number of health potions you're permitted to play in a single turn: only one. Please add this clarifying info for new players to avoid any confusion/frustration. I shouldn't have to use an external source like Google to understand crucial gameplay mechanics.

update: user error mistook another app. for this one. updated text and moved back to 5 stars. good fun and is a well built deck dungeon crawler. glad the dungeon run was added that cost 1.99$ and adds more variety to the game.
