Zoeti

About

Zoeti is a turn-based strategy RPG that mashes up poker mechanics with roguelike progression. You build and shuffle a deck of cards to cast spells or land blows in combat. Each hand lets you play combinations like pairs or straights to trigger abilities that shift the battlefield. Between fights you tweak your deck, scavenge for new cards, and adapt to evolving threats. The story follows a hero battling monster-infested lands using celestial powers tied to cardplay. The hand-painted art gives the world a whimsical yet eerie vibe. Combat rewards careful planning over luck alone with layers of tactical card synergy. Community reviews note its depth despite a short runtime. Available on PC Switch and mobile since April 2023. Light on dialogue but heavy on strategic replayability.

Storyline

A once peaceful land, now overrun by monsters. You, a Star-Soul hero, are among a select few blessed to raze the land of evil. In Zoeti, you are equipped with a deck of playing cards, with which you play card combinations (pair, full house, royal flush, etc.) to activate skills that will attack or defend against enemies. Further bolster your arsenal of skills and upgrades through battles and discovery.
