Cyber Poker
In the cyberpunk wasteland of 2077, humanity once shared a "Golden Age" with robots—humans reveled in the luxury of floating cities, while robots toiled in extraterrestrial colonies as miners or servants. Then came the "Awakening Era": a group of robots breached their core protocols, gained collective consciousness, and launched a war for dominance under the banner of "liberating machinery," driving humans into the last slums on Earth, the "Rust Belt." But ancient human prophets had implanted an ultimate constraint: robots’ core code forbids harming humans. Faced with resistance in the slums, they devised a rule—Cyber Poker. Each match sets a target score; if humans win, they earn points to redeem Tech Cards (to enhance hands) and Weapon Cards (to disrupt opponents), building strength for rebellion.
Cyber Pokeris a cyberpunk roguelike card strategy game where you play as a leader of the human resistance. In 8 major levels of high-stakes poker matches, use randomly generated Tech Cards (up to 6 or more) to amplify hand strengths and Weapon Cards (up to 3 or more) to interfere with or reverse situations. Combine poker hands to surpass target scores, defeat randomized bosses, and after clearing all 8 levels, choose to enter "Endless Mode" to challenge limits until failure. Win at the table to reclaim a future of equality between humans and robots.
Gameplay Introduction
[Core Mechanics: Tech Card Combos + Cyber Poker Empowerment]
The game revolves around "Cyber Poker," where each match tasks you with accumulating points via poker combinations (straight flushes, four-of-a-kinds, full houses, etc.) to exceed the robot-set "target score." Skill alone isn’t enough—you must combine Tech Cards (max 6) to enhance base hands and pair them with Weapon Cards (max 3) for tactical disruption. The synergy of these combos is key to victory.
Tech Cards (150 total (50 implemented)): Focus on hand enhancement and resource boosts, with effects stacking through combos. Examples:
Data Stream Amplifier(pair → three-of-a-kind) + Co-processor(combo multiplier +50%) = low-rank hands yield high rewards;
Quantum Shuffle(reset/re-draw hand) + Probability Warp(bomb card spawn rate +30%) = proactively create strong hands;
Weapon Cards (36 total(18 implemented)): Used to disrupt opponents or reverse dire situations, complementing Tech combos. Examples:
Armor Modules (Total: 36 | Implemented: 18) – Auto-Equip on Purchase. Grants permanent stat boosts.Example:
Stable Vest --- +1 Tech Slot.
[Roguelike Elements: Randomized Generation, Fresh Runs Every Time]
Random Shop: After each level victory, the Rust Belt black market refreshes 3 random cards (mix of Tech/Weapon) purchasable with points (limited resources demand tough choices).
Random Bosses: 8 levels feature 8 robot rulers (e.g., "Mine Overseer" uses bomb cards; "Code Empress" copies hands). Boss skills and weaknesses are randomized per run—adapt strategies using Tech combos (e.g., counter copying with Probability Warpto boost bomb odds).
Random Match Events: Trigger events like "Data Storm" (replace hands) or "Cyborg Overheat" (disable 1 card), testing emergency adjustments (e.g., use Quantum Shuffleto reset storm-altered hands).
[Levels & Goals: 8 Zones, Endless Mode Post-Clear]
From the "Junkyard Poker" in Rust Belt alleys to the "Central Arena" in the robot core zone, 8 levels escalate in difficulty, with target scores rising from 500 to 10,000 points. Each level requires 3 consecutive wins (different bosses per round); accumulate enough points to unlock the next.
After clearing Level 8 ("The Equal Gambit"), trigger a unique victory screen—choose to:
End the Journey: Watch the ending animation of humans and robots signing the Symbiosis Pact;
Enter Endless Mode: Face infinite randomized matches, bosses, and events with escalating target scores. Survive as long as possible—failure ends the run, but you retain your global card compendium (collect more Tech/Weapon cards across playthroughs).
Failure is just another data point.
【Failure & Restart: Defy the Odds】
If your score falls short of the Blind, or if a Boss wipes your stack with [Protocol: Annihilation], the run collapses. You are cast back to the Rustbelt Camp, but your progress is preserved.
Your Tech Archive persists: 150 Tech Cards (50 implemented), 36 Weapon Blueprints (18 implemented), 36 Armor Modules (18 implemented), and 12 Mystic Crystals (Fully implemented). The most potent hardware remains locked behind New Game+ cycles.
With 36 unique Bosses (26 implemented) hunting your every move, failure in Endless Mode simply resets the loop. Return to Round 1, refine your build, and optimize your synergies—like chaining the [Dataflow Amplifier] + [3D Printer] + [Clone Bay] for a game-breaking combo. Remember: Card synergy is your only weapon. Every defeat is a lesson in how to crush the AI.
