Soltura: A Brutal, Scoundrel-Inspired Roguelike Card Game Launches on Android, Web, and Itch.io

LONDON - April 3, 2026 - PRLog -- Appocado, an independent game & software development studio, has officially launched Soltura, a punishingly strategic roguelike card crawler. Available now on Android via Google Play, web browsers, and newly released on Itch.io, Soltura brings the mathematical foundations of the cult-classic physical playing card game Scoundrel to digital platforms.

Designed for players who crave high-stakes strategy and "flow state" puzzle-solving, Soltura strips away the bloat of modern deckbuilders. Players face a relentless dungeon armed with a standard deck of playing cards, mathematically modified to stack the odds against them. While survival is a challenge in itself, the true objective is mastering the game's unique scoring mechanics to dominate global leaderboards.

The core of Soltura is the innovative "Chain" system. Rather than simply using the strongest weapon to defeat the weakest monster, players are rewarded for taking calculated risks. To achieve exponential point multipliers, players must stack monster cards of descending value onto a single weapon. This forces a brilliant economic dilemma: players must willingly fight lower-level enemies bare-handed—spending their precious health points to take damage—to save high-level weapons for massive combo chains later.

Adding to the tactical depth is the "Bubble" mechanic, where the final unplayed card in every four-card room carries over to the next, allowing for meticulous deck manipulation. Players can also utilize Benevolent and Mischievous Joker cards, which act as one-time-use RPG skill trees, offering the ability to heal, scry the upcoming deck, or gamble on a blind draw to turn the tide of a fatal encounter.

With its latest update, Soltura has also introduced full controller support across all platforms. This highly requested addition makes the web and Itch.io versions perfectly suited for PC players and handheld devices like the Steam Deck.

To ensure endless replayability, Soltura features a Standard mode, a brutal endurance Gauntlet mode, and a highly competitive Daily Dungeon. In the Daily Dungeon, every player in the world is dealt the exact same deck seed, completely removing luck from the equation and purely testing strategic prowess.

Soltura is available to play for free, with a single, optional premium upgrade of £2.99 to permanently remove all advertisements.
