9 Kings: a roguelike card game full of chaotic charm | One Hour Brew
9Welcome back to the Indie Brew! Today we’re shuffling up some royal chaos with 9 Kings – a roguelike deck-building card game where you battle unpredictable monarchs, manage your kingdom, and try not to get dethroned in 10 turns or less.
In this One Hour Brew, I dive into a run and attempt to survive the wild swings of fate. With its sketchbook art style and fast-paced mechanics, 9 Kings feels like Slay the Spire if it was designed by a band of medieval jesters with a taste for anarchy. Expect strange relics, unpredictable card effects, and more than a few desperate plays.
Developed solo by Daniel Breen, this chaotic card battler hit Steam in May 2024 and has been steadily growing a cult following. It’s quick to learn, hard to master, and full of surprising depth. Perfect for fans of short, punchy roguelike runs with a sense of humor.
