About
A poker-bluff roguelike deckbuilder where you have to outsmart the opponent reading you.
In VELATO, you sit across the table from the system Bosses that watch how you play, remembers when you've bluffed, and decides whether to call you out. Every hand becomes two games at once: the poker hand you build, and the mind game you play to sell it.
Does the bluff go through or will the Bosses call it out? Do you dare to bluff? 🤡
Velato has 3 play modes:
Single mode - Single-player vs Bosses
Battle Mode - Player vs Player (On the Roadmap)
Hell Mode - Multiplayer (On the Roadmap)

You will climb through endless floors, and each floor puts you through three escalating tables.


Bluff against 24 Bosses
It's Poker. It's Roguelike and you need to build your deck carefully. Pick up the best hand to bluff and challenge the Bosses to survive and play on next tables.
124 Jokers to help you survive
You can buy Joker after beating a boss in Velato Store.
Read and calculate carefully before you buy any Jokers. If not, you will not gain any scores in the next table.
24 bosses in Velato
If you can survive, you meet different boss in each new table. Each boss will have their own power to defend your hand and you need to remember all their faces to build the most appropriate deck to beat them.

The bluff system is the thing we're most proud of. That tension of staring down an opponent and daring them to call you — the kind that normally only exists in multiplayer poker — now lives inside a single-player poker-bluff roguelike deckbuilder. It turns every hand from play for fun to play and calculate to survive.
You can choose "Challenge" or "Skip" button if you're confident with your Jokers' power.

quite entertaining but definitely need more polish. I like the style but the navigation is kinda lost sometimes. oh they updated the game and the improved version is wayyy better than the old one!
I find this game similar to Balatro and Poker, but incredibly difficult. I even lost to the boss when my hand was locked. What bad luck! I'll practice to get the top spot in the upcoming leaderboard campaign.
The game is easy to get into but still has a lot of depth. The more you play, the more addictive it gets. There are many different strategy combinations, so each run feels different. Definitely worth trying.
Initially, I thought it was similar to Balatro, but after playing it, I realized it's more of a Poker Bluffing Roguelike. I felt like the boss monster synthesized my behavior and optimized its strategy. The new updated version is also much better than the demo. Anyway, it's still Early Access, not the full release, guys.
一見すると『Balatro』のオマージュ(悪く言えばパクリ気味)に思えますが、独自のハンドメカニクス(役の仕組み)によってしっかりと独自の味付けがなされています。 大コンボ発生時にUIが少し煩雑(ごちゃごちゃ)になる点は気になりますが、ゲームのコアとなるループ部分の完成度は完璧です。時間を忘れて没頭できます🔥
Banger soundtrack, can be mistaken for a balatro rip-off but have interesting and unique ideas.
Let’s be real: this game is heavily inspired by Balatro, and at first glance, you might think it’s just a clone. But once you get into the loop, it carves out its own identity. The poker-roguelite synergy is incredibly satisfying, and hitting a massive multiplier combo feels like pure dopamine. However, my only grievance is the brutal RNG. There will be runs where the shop just refuses to give you any viable multipliers or planet cards, leaving you completely helpless against the scaling scores of the later Blinds. It can feel deeply unfair when a perfect run dies purely because of bad card drafts. That being said, the moment you lose, you’ll immediately hit 'New Run'. It’s addictive, frustrating, and brilliant all at once. Just expect to rage-quit a few times before you get that perfect setup.
Rough Demo, but GREAT ART I must say. Really love the work of the artists for this game. The gameplay itself is very much inspired by Balatro but the game do have a lot potential actually. Very much of a Poker game this game is, which is very special and I really like it. The Bluff mechanic is awesome, especially with PVP mode coming as stated in the game itself. Really looking forward to see the full game. Let's go team!
tbh losing never been this addicting. its basicly balatros evil twin. the multiplyer synergys go absolutly crazy when u finnaly get them to hit, even if rng will straight up robs you at the final boss. solid 9/10 i hate it. currently quing up for anothr run rn
It's basically Balatro but with a harsher attitude. The multiplier synergies are insane when they work, but the RNG will straight-up rob you of a win at the final boss. 9/10, currently queueing up for another run.
