Infest is a tense, methodical roguelike deckbuilder where you must carefully manage your deck and environment to survive escalating elemental chain reactions.

What players say

Players are split on whether the physics-based pixel simulation is a fun twist or an underused gimmick. Many say the first run feels like a tutorial with low challenge, while synergies between cards and elements can be hard to pull off. Some note that combat devolves into simple attack-and-heal, especially in later worlds.
