Club Sandwich announced that a playable demo of Shuffle Tactics is now available on Steam. This dark fantasy and tactical deckbuilding roguelite RPG is set to be released sometime this year. The game is inspired by timeless classics like Final Fantasy Tactics and indie sensations like Slay the Spire.
The game offers a unique combination of card-based battles with terrain positioning along with in-battle combos players can release on unwitting enemies corrupted by a mysterious evil. For the demo, players can look forward to some interesting content.
Two Playable Characters
For example, players can access the two uniquely powerful playable characters. The first is the Doberknight, a sword-hurling powerhouse that can kick enemies into optimal positions and spread fire to surrounding tiles or foes alike. Cunning fighters have the chance to unlock an alternate kit of abilities to maximize the Doberknight’s strategic potential. The second is Catalina, a master of elemental magic as well as a noble who has foregone a pampered life to spy for her house and avenge her parents from the battlefield.
Players can also forge their path across two biomes which are the dilapidated outskirts of a Capital known as The Deluge, and The Snarl, a lush forest that's teeming with menacing creatures.
Other content in the demo include:
- Five total sidekicks, each with different abilities to aid you in battle (two are unlockable).
- Encounter four total bosses (two boss fights per run, randomly selected for each biome).
- Access to half of Shuffle Tactics’ total number of cards, charms, and relics.
Rewards Available
In the game, at the end of each fight, players can obtain rewards that include a choice between:
- three cards
- a sidekick hire
- random relics
- random card charms
- access to a shop to spend their hard-earned gold
- a card upgrade
- a sidekick level up
Players should be mindful of the sidekicks they choose since they can only hire up to four sidekicks during a run. Meanwhile, players can recruit from a roster of 20 unique sidekicks, each skilled in areas like healing, magic, and archery, to support Asteria’s savior in battle. By hiring these allies, players can unlock powerful synergies and create formidable teams. They can also discover mythical relics that further enhance tactical options, offering new possibilities in each battle.
There's no question that Shuffle Tactics brings tactical deckbuilding to the next level. Wishlist the game on Steam now.
