About this game
Card Cricket Quest is a cricket-themed roguelite deckbuilder about matching cards, smashing runs and blasting tons in your quest for sporting glory. Ignore boring responsibilities like setting field positions, managing bowling line ups, or waiting for the pitch to dry out -- this is a curated cricket experience about YOUR solo batting heroics, and becoming a batting legend, one run at a time.
IT'S CRICKET, BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Each over, 12 cards are dealt from your batter's deck and 12 cards are dealt from the bowler’s deck. Match identical cards to score that number of runs, while avoiding HOWZAT cards that diminish your confidence and end your innings. Curate and build a deck that can withstand whatever bowling and de-buffs the opposition can throw at you.
A ROGUELITE RUN THROUGH THREE SEASONS OF CRICKETING DRAMA
Bat your way through 40+ cricketing challenges across three seasons of T20 cricket. Chase run targets, find pairs of boundaries, beat your previous scores, smash fifties, slash centuries, hit the winning runs in a Super Over, and look like a legend doing it.
SYNERGISE YOUR TRINKETS AND BREAK THE RULES OF CRICKET
Think that 6 is the most you can hit off a single ball in cricket? Think again. Discover peculiar trinkets and create synergies that turn you into an unstoppable cricketing force.
KEY FEATURES:
Fast, card-matching strategic deck-building gameplay, with randomised challenges where no two overs are the same.
Play against all major cricket nations, each with their own unique bowling attack
Collect over 100+ weird and wonderful cricket trinkets, and discover sport-breaking synergies.
Supplement your deck with 14 different types of Power-up cards. Remove HOWZATs with Power Plays, Double your runs with Berserk cards, or return some health with a well-timed Drinks Break.
Create and customise your own character
Over 20 handcrafted animations. Play rambunctious ramp shots, thunderous cover drives, or just nudge the ball to third man for a lazy single.
Face down Elite bowlers with deck-busting debuffs
Colourful commentary from the irreverent (and idiotic) Geoff Shamblesbury...
