Card Hog is a pig-based dungeon crawler with roguelike and deck building elements. Take the role of an adventurous hog and interact with more than 100 cards of dangerous enemies, powerful weapons and exciting spells!
You, the player, take on the role of an adventurous hog and navigate through a grid-based dungeon filled with a variety of interactive cards. With each move, you land on a card that could represent an enemy to battle, a weapon to pick up, a trap to avoid, or a variety of other potential outcomes. The card layout is randomly generated, creating a new and unpredictable dungeon to explore with every playthrough.
Mastering the various interactions between the different types of cards is key to your success. You may find a powerful sword that can deal massive damage to enemies or a healing potion that restores your health. Carefully managing these resources and planning your moves is critical, as a single misstep can lead to your demise.
As you progress, you can unlock and choose from a variety of hog characters, each with their own unique card sets and perks. For example, the Ninja Hog may have a staff as their primary weapon, while the Cowboy Hog relies on a gun. These different playstyles encourage experimentation and replayability. Additionally, you can upgrade your weapons, spells, and other abilities between runs, further customizing your experience.
In addition to the main dungeon crawling mode, the game offers several other modes, such as Endless Crawl, Zombie Survival, and Flame Escape. These modes introduce new challenges and mechanics, such as an ever-expanding fire that forces you to keep moving, further expanding the gameplay possibilities and keeping the experience fresh.
The game also features local multiplayer options, allowing you to compete against other players or cooperate in the dungeon crawling experience. This adds a social element and introduces new strategic considerations when playing with others.
Players consistently praise the addictive and engaging gameplay loop, where each run feels unique and the desire to keep playing "just one more game" is strong. The combination of intuitive controls, strategic depth, and charming presentation make it a highly enjoyable experience for both casual and more hardcore players.
