Memory-matching roguelikes remain a niche corner of the roguelike space, often overshadowed by combat-focused dungeon crawlers and run-based shooters. Replicat, the deckbuilding memory game from Brainoid Games and Erabit, arrives to challenge that imbalance by wrapping card-matching mechanics in rule-breaking combos and strategic item progression.
The game launched on November 18, 2025, and has already accumulated a 99% positive rating across 200 Steam reviews. Now available on Apple’s App Store and Google Play, Replicat brings its flip-and-match mechanics to mobile platforms.
You need to match cards to clear the board. The game ships with 90+ cards featuring cat memes and personality-driven designs, each adding unique mechanics. A parallel system of 80+ curios lets you rewrite matching rules entirely, turning failed pairs into opportunities and forcing mismatched cards to succeed. Five card colors each operate under distinct mechanics, while 21 escalating challenge levels and 10 starter decks with varying difficulty settings ensure repeated playthroughs feel genuinely different rather than procedurally shuffled.
Jazzy sound design and vibrant visual style anchor the experience in a cozy, playful tone that contrasts pleasantly with the strategic depth underneath. Ten starter decks, progression-locked cards, and unlockable difficulties give players long-term goals beyond high-score chasing. For players burned out on combat-heavy roguelikes, Replicat is a refreshing change of pace.
