Unleash Strategic Destruction - Leadbelly is a hand-drawn, narrative-driven deckbuilder. Build your deck from a growing arsenal of cards, adapt to three rival factions — Oil, Gas, Electric, and Gunpowder — and exploit their weaknesses to unleash devastating combos as you blaze a trail of vengeance.
A Story-Fueled Campaign - Leadbelly isn't just about survival, it's about revenge. From scorched wastelands to electrified fortresses, each act culminates in a powerful boss battle guarding a piece of your past. With every victory, you peel back the layers of a mystery far bigger than you imagined.
An AI Companion with a Mind of Its Own - You're not alone inside the steel shell of your prison. A quirky, unpredictable AI-buddy bot rides alongside you, offering tactical advice, cryptic insights, and maybe even a bit of friendship.
Upgrade Through Meta-Progression - Every failure is fuel for your comeback. Unlock new cards and relics that persist between runs. Fine-tune your deck to match your playstyle, and turn every scrap of experience into firepower.
Hand Drawn & Animated - From the grimy bolts of your tank to the haunting wastelands you roam, Leadbelly is fully hand-drawn and hand-animated by a developer with 20 years of industry experience.
