"Black Jacket's main allegory about gambling addiction working in synergy with its enrapturing gameplay deserves more attention. It is one of the most emotionally resonant Roguelikes on the market and the most underrated title of 2026."
I don’t know that it’ll make anyone forget about Balatro or anything, but I’d still say that if you’re fond of that game and you want something similar (but not too similar), then Black Jacket is definitely worth investigating.
Overall, Black Jacket takes a well known game and interweaves a collection of interesting mechanics that add considerable depth, turning a simple game of chance into a complex game of strategy, risk and reward. Hidden up its sleeve is a wonderfully told story of betrayal and redemption that Mi’pu’mi Games have expertly stashed behind the games roguelike...
It is enjoyable, incredibly fun to mess around with its different build ideas and styles, and in my opinion, for a game like this, very good on the eyes for longer play sessions. Black Jacket feels to me like a game that you could easily get stuck in a “Just one more run” cycle.
Black Jacket takes the traditional game of blackjack and runs with the premise letting you manipulate the field, it’s quick and challenging fun that’s difficult to step away from.
