Hercules 3000 2024

Hercules 3000 is a solo deckbuilding game where you take on the role of Hercules, a distant descendant of his ancient namesake, as he confronts new incarnations of some of his ancestor's greatest challenges.

Defeat all 9 enemies before you hit points get reduced to zero to win the game!

At the start of the game, you construct your deck with several starting cards as well as some cards that are specific to your chosen role. After that, you will get to choose from a few different starting game bonuses.

Then reveal the first enemy and start playing.

Each round, you will reveal the enemy's action and draw cards into your hand from your deck. Use your energy to play cards that deal damage to your enemy and increase your defense, as well as a variety of other effects. Then the enemy attacks and does damage to you. If your hit points are reduced to 0, you lose!

After defeating an enemy, you will get to improve your deck or rest. After defeating an elite enemy, you may also choose to gain a permanent power.

Each enemy has drastically different abilities and there are two versions of each enemy. You'll know what the enemies are, but not the order in which you'll encounter them, nor which version of each you'll encounter. So build your deck to be versatile!
