Ring of Pain is a tactical indie roguelike card game with fantasy elements. The cards you collect go into your item slots throughout the adventure, where you have 14 slots for different cards. These can range from a weapon that deals extra poison damage, a scroll that makes any card a way out, or a pair of pants that gives you an extra health point when you drink a potion. Each time you enter a new dungeon, the maps are randomized and you must adjust your strategy according to the maps you have access to. This makes every adventure unique. The game has a dark design that is also noticeable in every card you find.
