Heroes of Magic & Cards will give poker the roguelike deck-builder treatment

With a demo coming on November 5th, Heroes of Magic & Cards is another interesting spin on deck-builders that blends in poker mechanics for something different. Turn-based card-battling fans will probably enjoy this one!

Not directly a poker game, simply taking elements from the classic like we've seen other games do. Take down enemies with powerful cards to enable you to hit them with pairs and straights, along with various combo attacks to unleash various elemental effect along with having special class-based abilities that all together should mix things up nicely.

From the press release: "Poker is intrinsically fun and deeply complex. It's great for deckbuilder games, but it’s underused” Co-Founder of First Day Entertainment, Stephen Gou, says. We wanted to fill that gap so we made Heroes of Magic & Cards."
