Cardpocalypse is a single-player card game where you change the cards and the rules as you play, delivered within a charming school-based narrative.

Cardpocalypse is an RPG where battles are played with an epic collectible card game.

Cardpocalypse takes you back to the 1990's, a time when computers used floppy disks, and people read magazines for video game cheat codes. You will explore Dudsdale Elementary on a mission to build killer card decks in an effort to defeat the mutants. You will have to trade, earn, wager, change rules and permanently alter cards on your way to victory.

Make friends, play cards, twist the rules, become a Mega Mutant Power Pets master, and try to save the world in this single-player RPG about being a 90's kid. On her first day at Dudsdale Elementary, 10-year old Jess accidentally gets everybody's favorite collectible card game banned, forcing the kids to take their card battles underground. Troubles arise when mutants from the game invade the real world, and it's up to Jess and friends to stop them.

After its year long Epic Games Store exclusivity, Cardpocalypse will be coming to Steam on October 12, 2020.

Steam users will now get the opportunity to build, trade, earn and wager as they manipulate their card decks, changing rules and permanently altering cards on their way to victory and becoming a Mega Mutant Power Pets master, the base game also comes with free DLC in the form of the rogue-like-inspired Gauntlet Mode.

In addition to its arrival on Steam, Cardpocalypse is also introducing a brand new DLC pack day and date. Out of Time brings a whole new standalone campaign to Cardpocalypse.
