Cardpocalypse video game

Cardpocalypse is a single-player deck-building role-playing game that draws heavy inspiration from 1990s Saturday morning cartoons and collectible card game culture. Developed by Gambrinous, the game was designed to capture the nostalgic essence of childhood schoolyard trends, specifically focusing on a fictional card game called Mega Mutant Power Pets. The development team aimed to blend narrative choices with strategic card gameplay, allowing players to customize their decks and even the rules of the game as they progress.

The game's intellectual property and development are rooted in Ireland, where Gambrinous is headquartered. As a digital product, it is distributed globally across platforms including PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox. The title was published by Versus Evil, an American indie publisher known for supporting unique creative visions. In recent years, the ownership landscape shifted when Versus Evil's parent company, tinyBuild, integrated the publishing label, placing Cardpocalypse under a broader international corporate umbrella based in the United States and the United Kingdom.
