Overview
Scoundrel's Dungeon plunges players into a unique dungeon-crawling experience where the very structure of the dungeon is built from cards. Developed and published by Oppenheimer Research Facility, this title blends the strategic depth of a card battler with the challenging progression of a roguelite. Each floor presents a new hand of cards, forcing players to make critical decisions with each draw. The core gameplay revolves around the solo card game 'Scoundrel,' where players must carefully manage their actions – picking up a weapon, engaging a monster, consuming a potion, or choosing to retreat.
Highlights

- Strategic Combat Mechanics: Combat follows a 'descending rule' where each defeated enemy must be weaker than the last, adding a layer of risk and reward to every encounter.
- Roguelite Progression: With each floor, stronger monsters are introduced into the deck, ensuring that the dungeon becomes progressively more perilous, embodying the perma-death and roguelite elements.
