400 hours in and I'm still enjoying the game. There are 3 game modes within the game for multiple challenges. The daily challenges have surprise characters for each holiday such as Santa for Christmas and the Easter Bunny for Easter. A lot of different ways to build your deck with a plethora of characters and weapon choices. If you like Balatro and RPG, you will enjoy this one.

About This Game

Poker Quest is a fantasy game where you battle through a world full of monsters, using a standard deck of playing cards (like the "Queen of Spades") to empower your items in combat. Bigger and better hands can trigger stronger abilities on your items.
Discover thousands of different items and hundreds of monsters. March forward through a huge variety of locations and events in a procedurally generated, high-fantasy world.
Choose one of many heroes. Each hero comes with a unique set of equipment and abilities, to encourage many different play styles.

20+ unique heroes, and many more to come.

Challenge runs with game-changing modifiers.
Mini-games. Casinos!
Thousands of unique items.
Hundreds of unique monsters.

Poker Quest feels a lot like a deck-builder, but is fundamentally very different. The world map takes inspiration from Slay the Spire, with the intent of providing a great variety of events. The combat is inspired by Dicey Dungeons, but instead of dice, we use playing cards. That is where the similarities to other games end. Poker Quest contains a vast, novel set of game mechanics that centrally focus on the properties of the playing cards.
Some of the knowledge that you may have gained from other card games will naturally carry over to Poker Quest. Additionally, Poker Quest is a game that you can play to hone your skills at determining card probabilities, but while playing a fantasy RPG. With enough practice on the hardest difficulties, the answers to questions like "What are the chances they have a Spade in those two cards?" can become second nature to you. Or you can play on Casual mode and not worry too much about these things.

User Reviews
Poker Quest surprised me. It has a slow progression system which keeps you going for way longer that i thought. For some people maybe it's too slow, especially if you want to unlock everything. For me it was fine, but half of the achievements are ridiculous and i'm not that invested to go through with them. Still a fun casual game for most.
Awesome game
