The Developer Says...

Mow down hordes of 380 monsters with auto-firing weapons, then gamble everything you earned. Damnatio Lusoris is a survivors-like roguelite where every boss fight ends at the poker table.

Survive 20-minute runs

Your weapons fire on their own — you dodge, position, and pick upgrades. Fight across 5 maps against 24 enemy types that swarm in the hundreds, up to ~380 on screen at once.

Beat bosses at poker

Kill a boss and it deals you a hand. Cards you collect during the run stay in your deck for every showdown. A better deck means better odds — and better rewards.

Gamble your run

  • Kills charge a jackpot slot machine — three matching symbols pay out mid-run.

  • Bank Kill Points and drop up to 100 chips into Plinko.

  • Reroll level-up choices with dice, or take [b]Double-or-Nothing[/b]: flip a coin for a doubled upgrade — or lose it.

  • Pick [b]Fortune's Pact[/b] talents that scale damage with your deck and your remaining HP.

Build broken weapon combos

Choose from 25+ weapons — chakrams, railguns, spirit wolves, black holes, napalm — and combine the right pieces into evolved forms like Absolute Zero, Danse Macabre, or Cyclone of Blades. Stack passives: crit, lifesteal, frost, berserker rage, multishot.

Face The Dealer

Fight six bosses — the Lich King, the Blood Behemoth, the Vampire Lord, the Bone Colossus, the Glutton — and then sit down for one final high-stakes wager against The Dealer. Win the hand, win the run.

Come back stronger

  • Spend Kill Points on the [b]Slayer's Path[/b] — a skill tree of ~500 nodes.

  • Unlock permanent Legacy Talents and new weapons for your Arsenal.

  • Play 4 heroes: Knight, Pyromancer, Frost Lich, Death Knight.

  • Hunt down 170+ achievements.

Details
