About
Powerful plays tire your fingers. Heavy moves raise cramps that limit options until you recover, turning every play into a tradeoff: burst the boss down now, or conserve for a longer fight. Corruption creeps across the map, tempting you with potent rewards while it twists the dangers you face. Choose artifacts, shape your hand, and push deeper into the map where the rules stay simple, but the choices never are.
Combat is built around immediate, clear choices: pick a Sign, punish the right target, and capitalize on mistakes. Bait and counter - it’s Rock, Paper, Scissors elevated into tense, combo-driven duels.

Cards change how Signs behave and interact. Collect, upgrade, and combine cards to craft a hand that solves the problems enemies throw at you. Each upgrade brings you closer to greatness.

Big moves hurt your fingers. Every heavy play increases cramps and reduces options until you recover, forcing decisions: spend big for a win now, or pace yourself for survival.

Corruption offers massive boons at a cost, and artifacts bend the rules in unexpected ways. Be smart about what power to grab - and when it’s best to resist the temptation altogether.

Rock, Paper, Scissor Combat. Simple rules, where each Sign counters another, forming the core of every encounter and shaping all deck and strategy decisions

Rock, paper, scissors reimagined within a card game. After winning a fight, you can add gems to a card and choose a artifact. Artifacts are permanent abilities that help or hinder your character. There are 2 possible paths to take that will give you various choices for upgrades. [h1] Pros: [/h1] - Short runs with high replay ability. It takes about 1 hour to reach final boss. - Card art is refreshing. After upgrading cards, the card back changes to a special design and attacks have a satisfying animation. - Enemies are varied and player needs to strategize to beat them based on their abilities. - Your deck starts at a balanced size of 10 cards. There is less reliance on drawing the strongest cards to win boss fights. [h2]Cons: [/h2] - Final boss phase 2 has a 5 turn win condition. If you don't kill the boss by turn 5, you automatically lose. This forces the player to use an aggressive strategy to win. - Meta progression provides upgrades with little benefit. Feels like a grind and 1 full run earns manum for only 1-2 upgrades. I had one winning run with Arturo relying on Ring of Empower artifact. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3729972729 [h3]Suggestions: [/h3] - Add more starting artifacts for each character to increase build diversity. - Add elite enemies that drop better artifacts and gems. - During boss fight, if the boss dies from a specific attack, the player should be refunded cards that were not used to kill the boss. - More content needs to be added. Only 1 final boss and choice between 2 bosses in the middle of the run. [b] Conclusion: [/b] A Deck builder that is easy to pick up and has art that stands apart from similar games. However, more content needs to be added. Lack of artifacts limits playstyles and reduces the player's ability to experiment with different builds. The roadmap previews more content and game is in early access, so it is likely game will be more complete after updates. Try the demo if you like deck builders or roguelites.

Don't be fooled by my relatively low playtime. I played a hell of a lot in the closed beta. This is a gem of a game. There are lots of cool strategies and interactions with plenty of depth and progression. It strikes a really nice balance between challenging bosses without being overwhelmingly diffficult to build a deck that can handle them. My favourite thing about the experience was the multiple "penny drop" moments where I realized I could use a particular unorthodox strategy to win in certain situations. Just a geat damn game and the devs are incredibly active in responding to feedback on the Discord.
Piccola gemma indie, molto consigliata se si è un fan del genere. Lo sviluppatore è in ascolto dei feedback e aggiorna costantemente il gioco!
A already very polished roguelike deckbuilder with a somewhat simple core mechanic (rock paper scissors) and a heavy focus on card-cycling and odds-enhancing. The gameplay loop is addictive, the animations and presentation very stylish and smooth (I love the character design) and the overall experience as a result quite positive. The only problem right now is a lack of diversity in items and card-enchantments, but i'm pretty sure this will be improved during EA. Easy recommendation, especially for this price.
Love the roguelike take on Rock, Paper, Scissors. Solid gameplay loop and eagerly looking forward to what changes are brought next in Early Access.
Loading screen, pictures a beefed up muscle creature with female breasts(basically braum genderbent with a sword in its hand...), every time I see it it disturbs my eyes, I dont want to watch this thing ruin my soul everytime the game loads ...wtf dev team besides that thing above there are some interesting design choices, the red female has a males hand, the bulky guy is obviously braum from league...and the other woman is a mix up of cleopatra and anubis (basically female+male dogcreature god) this game isn't marked with a warning or a tag for this woke gender culture or what you call it these days nor do the reviews tell you, you only find out yourself...once you see it you cant unsee it, if this game is ment to be played by kids then parents be advised what you feed their subconscious its rated Age 12 with Violence and Curse Words in my country on the steampage but in my opinion it should be rated 16/18+ with warning to nudity and sexual innuendos
[table] [tr] [th]游戏由SteamPY鉴赏家提供[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td]SteamPY鉴赏家[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td][h3]上SteamPY淘海量超低价游戏[/h3][/td] [/tr] [/table] 想必大家小时候都玩过剪刀石头布吧,《HANDMANCER》就是这样一款脑洞大开的作品,把人们玩到烂的剪刀石头布,通过搭配卡牌构筑、宝石附魔、遗物搭配等经典的肉鸽元素,最终做出了这样一款完整的卡牌肉鸽游戏。游戏的基础规则就是最简单的猜拳规则,但它凭借独树一帜的玩法和亮眼的美术风格,做出了既好上手又有策略深度的新奇游戏。 游戏的核心玩法就是剪刀、石头、布的克制关系:克制造成伤害,平局格挡,被克则收到伤害。在每回合战斗前敌人会提前明示出招,而玩家就需要根据敌人的出招,用手中有限的手牌做出最优选择。最后进行战斗。游戏根据开始选择的三个角色不同分配不同的卡牌,但是这些卡牌都死固定的10张卡组构筑,只有角色天赋和10张卡中剪刀石头布张数的区别。游戏的肉鸽部分则完全依靠宝石附魔与神器搭配来实现。 游戏中的每张手势牌都可以镶嵌宝石,这些宝石分为左边和右边的小宝石和中间的大宝石,小宝石通常就是触发护盾、回血、增伤等效果,而大宝石则一般是改变卡牌机制的效果,比如剪刀的流血,布的免伤,闪避等,合理利用宝石卡甚至可以让被克制的卡牌也能反打。 游戏中的卡牌重抽机制名为“冲刺”,玩家每回合可以“冲刺”一次,其中空手重抽被视为“完美冲刺”,没有惩罚,而如果手上有牌重抽则会向手牌中塞入“痉挛”负面牌,效果是打出时石头剪刀布必败。 总的来说,《HANDMANCER》是一款创意满分、玩法新颖的卡牌肉鸽佳作。简单的剪刀石头布玩法让游戏的门槛降到了极低,而局内的附魔、遗物、角色流派又撑起了游戏深度,让其爽感与策略性兼备。虽然目前作为EA游戏,游戏的流程较短、平衡也需要进一步调整,但完全不影响它成为一款好游戏,绝对值得入手一试。
First and foremost, I recommend this game. Pros: Style, gameplay, background music. Cons: The animations are a bit choppy in places. Losing as part of the gameplay feels awful. And the unlock tree is too slow. However, the gameplay and style really save the game.
I love this game! The boss fights are never repetitive, with each having its own uniqueness. The artifact mechanic is my favourite thing, as it allows you to develop and customize your deck even further. Huge plus: nice drawings and graphics.
Gioiello indie. Ho solo voglia di giocare, giocare e poi giocare. Giuro un ultima partita e poi chiudo, forse.
