Evaluation

Urban Cards launched as version 1.0 on February 10, 2021, and has received a steady stream of major content updates in the years since. The major content milestones include: the Beach faction added on November 11, 2021; new Summer-Edition Beach cards on June 22, 2022; a Christmas faction with 20 new cards on December 20, 2022 (later sold as a DLC); and most recently, "The Big Beautiful Update" on April 26, 2026, which introduced a Daily Runs game mode with community leaderboards, card upgrade mechanics, a deck-trimming feature, six new cards, three new items, balance changes, and a new language (German). A follow-up patch on May 4, 2026 further refined that update's content. This establishes a clear pattern of ongoing development by a small two-person studio. On March 13, 2026, the developer acknowledged a slower period — attributing it to work on a second game — but explicitly stated they "really want to continue improving the game," and that update arrived the following month. The most recent developer communication was on May 4, 2026, just 53 days before today (June 26, 2026). All currently listed DLC has been released. No specific future content has been formally announced, but the developer is clearly still actively working on the game.

About this game

In this roguelike deckbuilding game, your goal is to build your business empire and make tons of money, while keeping an eye on your debt and your opponent in check. 

In a satirical unfair world, you get to play with 4+ factions with different playstyles to choose from.

  • Oper: The realm of the millionaire CEO, the workaholic suit, and the dangerous smile of a lending shark. Bedazzled by generous bonuses, but be careful of its ferocious appetite for debt.

  • Akibara: The technology valley controlled by gamers, hackers, and neon lights. This is where bitcoin fortunes are made with other people's data, this is where big brother comes to watch.

  • Gastown: The poor and forgotten inhabitants are adept at sabotaging their opponent, stealing from their business while ruling the streets. This do-or-die faction doesn’t shy away from a healthy dose of physical violence to achieve its aims.

  • Beach: Tourists descend like a swarm of bright pink locusts to consume the hours purchased in advance. 

    Features:

  • Build and customize your own deck by choosing from 180+ cards

  • Choose from four different factions and their unique starter decks: Oper, Akibara, Gastown, Beach

  • Carefully manage the different types of cards at your disposal: Business, Workers, Henchmen, Actions, and Objects

  • Accept the challenge and make your way through a procedurally generated campaign with 20+ Events and many hours of replayability

  • More than dozens of different enemies stand in your way of success: from mob bosses to otaku and money lenders. Get ready to defeat the biggest crook of them all: the Government!

  • Collect 30+ special items to aid you in your quest to make even more money!

  • Challenge your friends in PvP!
