Summary
- Humble Bundle is offering a discounted collection of six highly rated deckbuilder games for fans of Balatro.
- The ‘Deckbuilder Bonanza’ collection includes popular games like Backpack Hero and offers great value at $20.
Humble Bundle is offering six deckbuilder games at a major discount, which will be particularly appealing for fans of Balatro. The poker roguelike game by developer LocalThunk was an instant hit when it released in February 2024, offering a single-player experience that was equally easy to pick up and challenging to master. Balatro currently enjoys a 92 critic score on OpenCritic and an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam from over 100,000 reviews.
The addictive deckbuilder has won several awards, including Best Indie Game from Golden Joystick and three accolades each from The Game Awards 2024 and DICE 2025. The game sold an impressive 1 million copies within the first month, and less than a year later, in January 2025, Balatro hit 5 million copies sold. And its success and popularity don’t seem likely to wane any time soon.

For those unfamiliar with how it works, Humble Bundle offers limited-time collections. Customers can pay what they want, receiving a different number of items depending on the amount they give. And buyers also choose how their money is divvied up: to charity, the creators, straight to Humble Bundle, or a combination of the three.
Jaspel’s Backpack Hero came out of early access in 2023, but an earlier development version was available for free on itch.io for nearly two years. During that time, it gained a dedicated following of roguelike fans eager to stuff and organize their backpack and delve ever deeper into a monster-filled dungeon. The story-driven Ash of Gods: The Way is the fourth in a series but a standalone adventure. Mixing turn-based battle, deckbuilding, RPG-like conversations, and puzzles, AurumDust’s 2023 offering will appeal to fans of many genres.
Released in 2024, Thing Trunk’s deckbuilding roguelike Hellcard offers card battles, single-player and co-op gameplay, and an appealing graphical style. Hadean Tactics, as its name implies, pits players against the Six Wings of Hell in a tactical game with autobattler elements. The Knights of Unity’s Death Roads: Tournament brings something new to the deckbuilder genre with its vehicular combat element, complete with sponsors, and Fights in Tight Spaces, released in 2021, features animated fight sequences and a style reminiscent of indie darling Superhot.
