How I Made Combat Actually Fun in My Roguelike Deckbuilder

Wishlist Rogue Inferno: https://store.steampowered.com/app/32... Join my Discord:   / discord   A deckbuilder with only one card? Yeah, that wasn’t great. So in this devlog, I finally fixed that by adding the stance system—the mechanic that makes the samurai actually fun to play. The idea was simple: every time you play a card, your stance changes. Low stance for movement, high stance for damage, and mid stance for defense. This way, combat is no longer just about spamming attacks—it's now about thinking ahead and managing your stances properly. If you end up in the wrong stance at the wrong time… well, that's on you.
