Press release:
Baltimore, MD – May 8th, 2020 – Gambrinous, an award-winning independent game studio, and Versus Evil, one of the leading independent game publishers, today announced that their role-playing game “Cardpocalypse” has now added an entirely new way to play the game with Gauntlet Mode which is available for free on the Epic Store for PC and Apple Arcade℠ from today.

Gauntlet Mode is a roguelike mode where every run is unique, players pick their champion and fight their way through ever more difficult battles. After every win players can draft new cards, rules and rewards for their decks in an effort to build the ultimate combo and beat the Gauntlet.

Cardpocalypse is an RPG where battles are played with an epic collectible card game, players build killer card decks, twist the rules and try to save the world in this single-player choice driven RPG about being a 90’s kid. Players can trade, earn, wager, change rules and permanently alter cards on their way to victory.

“I can’t wait for fans to get their hands on Gauntlet mode,” said Colm Larkin, Director of Gambrinous.

“It’s a whole new way to play Cardpocalypse and I love how every run is different. If you are a fan of roguelikes, this is the expansion for you. And we’ve made it free for everyone!”

In addition to Gauntlet mode, Cardpocalypse is now available in all languages everywhere across all versions of the game and now supports English (British, American, Australian), French (France), French (Canadian), Italian, German, Spanish, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, and Dutch.
