One poker hand, countless possibilities. Ember District brings poker hands, combat progression, and roguelike deckbuilding together in a post-apocalyptic adventure. Combine Pacts, Star Sigils, and equipment to turn familiar hands into devastating attacks. Face bosses with their own combat rules and fight your way through with a build of your own!

Easy to Learn, More Ways to Grow

Start with familiar poker rules and discover a different kind of battle. Turn High Card into your main source of damage, or build around a Royal Flush until a once-in-a-blue-moon hand becomes a regular play. There is more than one winning hand—and more than one way to build around it.

Layer Your Synergies, Unleash Your Power

With 130+ Star Sigils, 120+ Pacts, and 30+ pieces of equipment, combinations are more than the sum of their parts. Strengthen your poker hands, stack multipliers, and let equipment provide the missing piece to push each hand further. Every choice could unlock a new surge of power for your build!

Grow Within Runs and Beyond Them

Develop your poker hands during each run and build lasting strength between runs as you explore new combinations. At higher difficulties, 20+ random modifiers change how bosses fight. Victory takes more than damage: you need to work around their restrictions. Even when your build comes together, tougher opponents are waiting!
