Get Yoked is a roguelike deckbuilder focused on bodybuilding and gym culture. Players enter the game as aspiring bodybuilders competing in strength-based tournaments. Using a deck of workout, rest, and supplement cards, players must carefully build muscle without causing injuries. The goal is to grow targeted muscle groups and reach the competition’s gain threshold. Every decision matters, from how you train to how you recover.
Card Strategy and Muscle Growth
Each card in Get Yoked represents a different aspect of training. Workout cards target muscle groups such as arms, legs, or glutes. Rest cards help reduce fatigue, and supplements increase efficiency or accelerate recovery. The player must manage fatigue levels carefully—overtraining leads to injuries that can ruin a run. Each deck has a different focus, depending on the selected character and playstyle.
Key systems include:
- Workout cards for muscle gains
- Rest and supplement cards for recovery
- Fatigue and injury mechanics
- Multiple body types and deck styles
- Muscle group specialization options
Customization and Progress
Winning competitions and completing challenges unlocks new items and cosmetic features. Players can personalize their bodybuilder with gear like shorts, shoes, tattoos, and gloves. Each completed run adds to a campaign progression system that unlocks new starting characters and cards. This structure supports varied strategies, such as focusing solely on glutes or building balanced strength across all areas.
Game Modes and Replay Value
Get Yoked offers multiple modes beyond its campaign. These include daily runs, challenge modes with unique rules, endless runs for testing long-term builds, and seeded runs that allow sharing with friends. Each playthrough presents new challenges through card draws and competition requirements. Strategic planning and adaptability are essential for mastering higher difficulties.
Design and Humor
The game uses a parody tone that mixes serious roguelike mechanics with exaggerated gym humor. Character designs and card names reflect this balance, offering a blend of cartoon visuals and wordplay. Behind the humor is a tight gameplay loop with room for real decision-making. Get Yoked delivers a unique blend of comedy, deckbuilding, and progression that rewards players who think ahead and embrace the grind.
