Card Game Core – Roguelike Deck-Building

Create, customize, and expand your own roguelike deck-building card game in Unity using this modular gameplay core.

Designed with a clean and extensible architecture, this template provides everything you need to build turn-based card battles, fantasy deckbuilders, RPG combat systems, and games inspired by classics like Slay the Spire, Monster Train, Across the Obelisk, and Inscryption.

Easily create your own cards, enemies, skills, effects, and combat mechanics using an organized workflow based on ScriptableObjects, prefabs, and C#.

The package includes a fully playable demo scene, allowing you to immediately test combat flow, card interactions, enemy AI, targeting, energy management, and deck mechanics.
