Category: Deck-builder

Burn With Me is a narrative deck-builder like no other, where permanently burning your cards is one of the main game mechanics.

Another one with a good demo during Steam Next Fest is Paris Transylvania, a pachinko roguelike deckbuilder.

9 Kings is a fast-paced roguelike kingdom builder where you get to watch tiny armies fight and it's surprisingly absorbing of your time.

Taking all the good about Monster Train and just making it a whole lot bigger, Monster Train 2 is an excellent deck-building game.

Into The Grid is a cyberpunk roguelike deckbuilder and dungeon crawler from Flatline Studios, with a fresh demo up ahead of Steam Next Fest.

Into the Restless Ruins is a rather different dungeon crawler, one where you build the dungeon over time with a deck of cards you continue to gather and upgrade.

StarVaders from developer Pengonauts is a colourful and action-packed mix of a deck-builder with fast grid-based tactical combat and it's a thoroughly great time. I've never seen another game so smoothly blend these two together. I'm hooked on it.

From the original creative team behind the Hand of Fate series, Hordes of Fate : A Hand of Fate Adventure is a mixture of deck-building and auto-shooting as yet another developer attempts to put their own spin on Vampire Survivor-like action.

We're getting totally spoiled with unique deck-builders lately like Moonsigil Atlas that I really can't wait for. And now Devolver Digital announced they're publishing Shroom and Gloom with a demo up now and it's glorious.

Moonsigil Atlas has a demo out now and it's already shot right up to the top of my wishlist. The idea of fusing a Slay the Spire styled deck-builder with something sort-of Tetris-like is just incredibly slick.

Another strategy game with trains? Sign me up. Break Siege from FojoGames just hit Early Access and looks like it could be another good one.

My new favourite deck-builder? Could well be. Starless Abyss released late in April from Konafa Games and No More Robots blending together the worlds of Eldritch horror and deck-builders in a space strategy theme.

Probably the absolute weirdest deck-builder I've ever played, COMBOLITE is all about repeatedly hitting a rock to score points and activate special combos to score even more points.

There's a lot of dungeon crawlers and deck-builders but Lost For Swords manages to come off a little more unique thanks to the way it shuffles everything together.

Blending together a collectible card game, roguelike, and turn-based strategy game Deathless. Tales of Old Rus looks like a must-have for fans of titles like Slay the Spire. Now it should be a better fit on Steam Deck too.

Now this blending of ideas looks damn cool. Moonsigil Atlas looks like it really warps deckbuilders into something quite unique, and I can't wait to check this one out.

Whatever will developers turn into a deck-builder next? Ludo, apparently. The classic board game has been warped into Ludaro.

Clonizer is a fresh tactical roguelike deck-builder about making and managing clones, and attempting to colonize and take over the universe. It's just launched with Native Linux support.

Fogpiercer is a fresh and interesting take on deckbuilders, with you controlling a train that you build up and upgrade as you go.

Sometimes developers put up blog posts talking about developing their game, but it's not every day you read about how they had to deal with earthquakes, cockroaches and broken bones. And yet, Clumsy Bear Studio still managed to get the Hungry Horrors demo out on Steam.
