Deckromancer: Haven & Hell, my solo-developed card-driven bullet heaven roguelite.

Some of the recent additions:

• New Soul Charge system replaces mana/shard costs during runs. Charge is earned by killing enemies, with Hell mode generating it faster.
• Run cards are now drawn into your hand throughout a run instead of everything being equipped from the start.
• New Fate cards and environmental hazards including Meteor Strikes, Arcane Mines, Lava Rising, Flame Traps and Shadow Fog.
• More Run Modifier cards that permanently change how a run plays instead of just giving stat boosts.
• Expanded ally, summon and totem systems.
• New drone dialogue, tutorials and plenty of quality-of-life improvements.
• Ongoing balancing to make Haven (defensive) and Hell (aggressive) feel like genuinely different playstyles.

I'm trying to push the game further away from "Vampire Survivors with cards" and more towards something where deckbuilding decisions shape every run.

Would genuinely love feedback from roguelite fans. Does this direction sound interesting, and what would make a card-based bullet haven game stand out to you?

Was delicious.

Hi everyone,
I’m a full-time game developer from the UK working on my own indie project in my spare time called Deckromancer: Haven & Hell.

The game is a pixel-art action roguelite where you build your character through collectible cards while switching between Haven and Hell. Haven focuses on survival and positioning, while Hell turns the game into a much more aggressive bullet-hell experience. Every run lets you discover new cards, unlock permanent upgrades, experiment with different builds, and fight increasingly difficult enemies and bosses.

I’ve reached the point where I’d really like to put together a proper gameplay trailer, but video editing and trailer creation aren’t my strengths.

I’m looking for someone who:
Has experience editing game trailers.
Can help capture the most exciting moments and present the game well.
Enjoys collaborating with indie developers.

I’m happy to provide gameplay footage, builds, artwork, logos, music, or anything else needed.

If you’d like to see what the game looks like before getting in touch, the Steam page has screenshots and more information.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Would love your feedback.

Haven and Hell is a 2d Dungeon Exploring Deck building Rogue Lite, You explore prodecudrally generated dungeons gathering shards and compleating tasks to unlock new cards,

Cards are split across 4 decks currently:

Player upgrade deck - these cards will add value to the players overall stats, wether it be a speed increase, fire rate increase or a better cooldown on the state flip ( more in a mo ) you unlock these in the player upgrade room and you can equip 4 at a time, each card also has a unique spell that you can play in the run, each of these currently has a cooldown so can be used multiple times. but be carefull as these cards do have conditions and costs to use.

This is your permanent progression deck. These cards improve your core stats such as:

• Health
• Attack Power
• Attack Speed
• Movement Speed
• Luck (better drops and rewards)
• Defense (acts as a shield before health is damaged)
• Switch Cooldown (reduces the cooldown of your Haven/Hell state swap)

Survival Deck - on your run in the dungeon or the arena when you kill enemies you level up and get to choose a temp upgrade or spell for the run. there are currently 112 cards in this deck and they are split across:

• Stackable – Can be selected multiple times to scale power
• Temporary – Last for a limited duration
• Unique – Powerful effects that can only be taken once per run

Fate Deck - while on a run in the dungeon or survival your fate meter is constantly ticking up as a steady pace, the more you kill the faster it builds. when the fate meter is full a card is drawn from the deck. Example cards:

• Poison clouds roaming the map
• Holy mines spawning around the player
• Meteor strikes
• Flame traps
• Enemy speed increases
• Enemy damage boosts
• Elite enemy spawns

Fate Deck Dungeon ( Temp name ) - Rather than focusing purely on combat difficulty, these cards are designed around exploration-based chaos such as:

• Altering dungeon layouts
• Spawning roaming enemies between rooms
• Changing room rewards
• Triggering curses
• Increasing risk during exploration

State Flip - The game’s core mechanic is the ability to shift between two states:

Haven

This is your default state and is much safer and more controlled

• Standard enemy difficulty
• Traditional combat encounters
• Environmental hazards come from the Fate Deck

Hell

• Enemies become significantly stronger
• Environmental hazards become more aggressive
• Existing threats escalate

However, the reward scales with the risk:

• Better loot drops
• Higher-value rewards
• More valuable resources

The state swap itself is controlled by cooldown-based progression and can be improved through cards.
