Plug In Digital's charming card game with a twist is coming this January 11th, letting players dive into the crazy world of Heck Deck soon. The adorable-looking bullet hell card game contrasts a cute hand-drawn aesthetic with frantic gameplay, so besting the game is truly a test of agility.

In Heck Deck, players can expect to deal devastating damage with their bullets in the form of hand-drawn cards. Time will progress only when you make a move, so you can fully explore five stages and beat unique enemies (along with bosses, of course). There are dozens of cards to discover and master, plus shops you can visit to score some valuable cards (but at what cost?).

What started as a Ludum Dare entry is now a full mobile title for both iOS and Android devices. It features a one-of-a-kind mix of strategy and action, as well as a dash of agility and quick thinking. While the cutesy art style may help mitigate any frustration, looks can be deceiving, so you'll really have to bring it on if you want to succeed in this game (don't worry - the background music is pretty lovely too, if that helps).

Do you think you can handle the pressure? If you're curious about the game, you can check out Heck Deck on the Google Play Store for Android devices or on the iOS App Store. It's a premium title that costs $2.99 a pop. You can also have a look at the awesome clip embedded above for a little sneak peek at the game. You can head on over to the official website for more info as well, or wishlist the game on Steam.
