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.

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
Basically a Balatro clone but with a harsher attitude lol. The multiplier combos go so hard when they actually hit, but the bad RNG will straight up ruin your night. Still queueing another run fr
If u love math, rogue-likes, and pure chaos, buy this immediately. Just be prepared to rage-quit when the final boss completely counters your exact build lmao rip.
If you enjoyed Balatro, you will easily lose 50 hours of your life here. It’s incredibly addictive and mechanically tight, though the brutal RNG will occasionally make you want to throw your mouse through the monitor. Highly recommended, but painfully punishing.
Absolute time sink lol. It absolutely nails the poker vibe, tho some boss debuffs are just straight-up evil instead of actually challenging. Still 100% worth playing!!!
Great core loop, but the interface needs some polish. The actual gameplay here is top-tier. Discovering broken synergies and watching your score skyrocket is pure gaming bliss. However, I have to knock off a point for the UI. Compared to the clean, hypnotic flow of Balatro, the screen here can get incredibly cluttered during high-multiplier triggers. It's sometimes hard to track exactly which card is multiplying what, and the game pace slows down too much when processing massive combos. The boss debuffs can also feel overly punishing rather than challenging. Still, the underlying poker-roguelite engine is brilliantly designed. If you can look past the messy visual presentation and the steep learning curve, it's a stellar title.
I like this game. The gameplay is similar to poker, so it's quite easy. The Joker cards add excitement and surprise, rather than just a simple poker-style comparison. The downside is that the enemies aren't very smart; I haven't really found it challenging. I think it would be much more interesting if players competed against each other directly.
