About Decknaut
Decknaut is a pixel-art sci-fi deckbuilder from Intellikode. Each turn you draw 5 cards and have 3 energy. Attacks deal damage, and skills give you Block, heal you or set up a later turn. Press End Turn and the enemies act. Above each enemy you can see its next move, so you can block before a big hit or strike while it is only defending. Attacks have a damage type, and coloured tags show whether an enemy is weak to it, resists it, is immune or absorbs it.
From your starship you choose a mission site. The first room is a battle, and after that each room offers two doors: a battle, a tougher elite, a supply cache, a med bay or an unknown event, with a guardian in the last room. Credits you find are only safe once you get back to the ship, so from room 2 you can retreat and bank them or push on. Your deck comes from the gear you wear, and three copies of a card fuse into a rarer one. Ship parts raise your engine, shield, fuel and cargo so you can reach new destinations. It is a free public beta with guest play and no ads; the studio says the art is AI-generated.

How to play Decknaut
Draw five cards, spend three energy, read what each enemy plans to do, and fight room by room for the parts your starship needs.
Choose Play as guest, then read or skip the opening story.
Pick a mission site from your starship. Start with the Scrapyard on Earth.
In battle, click or tap cards to play them until your 3 energy is spent.
Check the plan shown above each enemy, then press End Turn.
Choose one loot card after each battle, and decide at each room whether to retreat or go on.
Tips and strategy
- Play Block on the turn an enemy shows a big attack, and attack when it is defending.
- Check enemy tags before a fight and bring a damage type they are weak to.
- Retreat when your health is low. Falling in battle loses the credits you are carrying.
- Fuse three copies of a card to raise its rarity instead of carrying duplicates.
