🎯 Objective & Modes

Pick a mode on the main menu — both share the same card combat.

⚔️ Classic — the pure Scoundrel run: one full deck, clear the whole dungeon room by room without your health reaching zero.

🗺️ Adventure — a Slay-the-Spire-style descent: choose your path on a procedural branching map, build your illustrated deck as you go, and defeat the finale unique to each of the 6 heroes.

🗺️ Adventure Mode

• The Map: choose your path through nodes — ⚔️ Battle · 💀 Elite · ❓ Event · 🏛️ Merchant · 🔥 Campfire · 🎁 Treasure · 👹 Boss.

• Encounters scale by difficulty: a battle is 1 wave on Easy, 2 on Normal, 3 on Hard. Deeper nodes hit harder.

• 🔥 Campfire: rest to heal, or cull the strongest monster from your deck (deck-building!).

• 🏛️ Merchant: buy weapons/potions, remove a threat, sharpen a weapon, or a mystery relic — all edit your persistent run deck.

• ❓ Events: real choices with trade-offs (sacrifice HP for a relic, gamble gold, free a bound spirit…), not just free boons.

• 🎁 Treasure — cursed chests: some chests are cursed. Pry one open for extra gold + a relic, but a curse monster joins your deck; or leave it sealed.

• Illustrated deck: each card shows unique art; the coloured border + glyph tell you the type at a glance (🔴 monster · 🟡 weapon · 🟢 potion).

• Per-class finale: every hero descends for their own reason and faces a unique final boss + ending.

🎮 Gameplay (Classic)

1. Start the Action:

• Choose "⚔️ Enter Chamber" (draws 4 cards) or "🛡️ Evade" (sends 3 cards to the bottom). You cannot Evade twice in a row.

2. Clear the Chamber:

• You must use or discard all 4 cards from the chamber (in the bottom bar) to advance. In Adventure the same combat happens inside map nodes instead — see above.

• Colored bar shows durability (🟢 good, 🟡 medium, 🔴 low)

• Repair in shop or find 🔨 Durable Weapons relic for infinite durability

👹 Boss Battles

⚔️ Classic: 2 Minibosses (rooms 15 & 25) + a Final Boss.

🗺️ Adventure: an act boss ends each act, then a final boss unique to your hero.

• Bosses have lots of HP and require multiple hits

• HP bar shows boss health (🟢→🟡→🔴)

• ⚔️ Critical: If you fight a boss WITHOUT a weapon:

   • Boss attacks once and flees

   • You take full damage (15 HP!)

   • NO GOLD REWARD

• 💡 Strategy: Always have a weapon before room 10, 20, 30...

💰 Gold & Economy
