Pirate poker battler Piroker has a playtest you can sign up for now
Score big or walk the plank.
Pirates and poker are two passions that begin with the letter P, so the announcement of an animated trailer for Piroker at the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct is met with delight. This asynchronous multiplayer poker game combines a captivating pirate theme with the chaos of a poker game enhanced by relics. Players create a pirate captain and compete against seven opponents, aiming to achieve the highest scoring hands.
Piroker offers a unique twist on Texas Hold'em, with the addition of relics that allow for wild builds and cheated hands, increasing the value or changing the suit, reading one suit as two, or scoring some cards multiple times. The game features relics that can be collected in groups of three, turning them into super-powered variants.
During our playtesting, we discovered some exceptionally powerful builds, but so did other players. In the event of scoring too low, the winning players shoot the lower-scoring players, reducing their health. This adds an element of risk and brutality to the game. While the animated trailer did not showcase new gameplay, it effectively conveys the game's atmosphere, enticing players to sign up for the playtest. Having already enjoyed the game, I highly recommend signing up and adding Piroker to your Steam wishlist.
