About this game Read the full description

Get ready for a roguelike adventure with an electrifying arcade twist. Squad Arcade blends strategic deckbuilding, card-based combat, and retro-futuristic flair into a dynamic experience where every run is unique and every decision matters.

In a post-human future, synthetic animatronic beings stumble upon humanity’s most thrilling legacy: a card game filled with mythical creatures, historical icons, and legendary heroes. Thus begins Squad Arcade—a place where synthetics rediscover the joy of play.

  • Roguelike progression: Face ever-changing challenges with tactical decisions that shape each run.

  • Deep deckbuilding: Discover over 200 unique cards and create powerful combos.

  • Card-based combat: Select up to five cards per turn to form your Squad and battle enemies.

  • Poker-style plays: Create hands like pairs, triples, straights, and flushes to boost character stats.

  • Bonuses and multipliers: Synergistic plays grant stat boosts and multipliers that turn the tide of battle.

  • Multiple plays in a single hand: Combine elements, fame, and rank to trigger layered synergies.

  • Tactical positioning: Card placement determines which ally fights which enemy.

  • Customizable arcade machines: Over 1,000 gameplay-impacting combinations.

  • Visual identity: A bold mix of neon, comic book style, and 80s retro-futurism.

  • Playable Comic: The run’s map is generated as you choose which comic page to read each time.

Meet the Synth Animatronics, each with distinct mechanics:

  • L1-Z4RD – Warlord

  • ARO-W4NA – Guardian

  • PO-0 – Mastermind

  • OP-055-UM – Trickster

Unlock new cards, relics, chips, and characters as you play. Each run opens new strategic possibilities and challenges.
