Ludus Deceptor is Available Now!

After a long development journey, Ludus Deceptor is officially available on Steam.

Take a seat at the table and begin your journey from the very bottom — a prison cell. Build combinations, strengthen your cards, find items, and use bonuses, curses, and interactive cards to fight your way higher, one step at a time.

Every opponent plays by their own rules, and every new run forces you to make the most of whatever fate deals you.

What Awaits You

Duels with friends
Card battles built around Chips and Multiplier
Various card combinations and different ways to strengthen them
Bonus, Cursed, and Interactive Cards
Items, Masks, Seals, and Archives
The Cursed Deck for those willing to take greater risks in exchange for more powerful effects
Opponents with their own unique rules and mechanics
Different strategies and builds in every run

Thank you to everyone who followed the development, tested the game, and helped uncover bugs along the way.

See you at the table — and in the duel for the “Better Than the Developer” achievement!
