Be warned, if you are not a roguelike fan or the idea of playing as the house itself doesn’t appeal to you, then this won’t be the game for you. However if any elements of Deck of Haunts described above feels like something you’d try, you’ll find yourself enjoying your time.
Deck of Haunts is a quick and fun deck-building roguelike. Building out the haunted house is the most fun part. Just know that this is also one of those games where you will be at the mercy of the RNG, where failing to get a specific card you need to save your run may lead to your demise.
Deck of Haunts lets you terrorize humans who enter your haunted house. Choosing how you harm them and configuring the house layout is always an enjoyable challenge. It takes time to learn how everything works properly and a detailed tutorial would be nice. The foundations are solid and you have a great time putting together a dangerous haunted house.
If you have a taste for horror, you'll be right at home with Deck of Haunts. This deckbuilder may be light on story, but how many other games can you say cast you as a haunted house? Its core game loop of dispatching hapless intruders will have you grinning.
Deck of Haunts has a solid foundation, but I feel as though it fails to fully deliver on its own promises. The deckbuilding gameplay is solid, if repetitive, and the game doesn’t do much to capitalize on its unique identity as a haunted house simulator, leaving this reviewer severely disappointed.
