Rust & Ruin

Rust & Ruin is a roguelike deckbuilder set in a scrapyard arena. You'll draw, gamble, and spend your way through every fight, building a bot that can survive whatever's thrown at it.

Each battle, you'll draw 5 random cards from your bot's arsenal. Keep your hand and fight, or gamble your coins to redraw for better odds, just know the cost climbs with every redraw. Every card has its own power, cooldown, and exchange value, so deciding what to play and what to bench matters as much as the draw itself.

Win fights to earn money, then head to the chip store between rounds to upgrade your bot's parts and capabilities.

Every run plays out differently, shaped by the calls you make along the way.
