An Entire Pixelated World Made Up of Cards Where Players Can Choose Between Various Vampire Classes.
We are increasingly witnessing an evolution in card-based games. While the classic deck builders, where players draw a card from their deck and attempt to combine it with others to attack enemies, still dominate the scene, there has been a recent rise in an alternative way to use cards. This new approach involves developing an entire game world made up of cards, with the player also represented by a card.
Reading back on what I wrote, perhaps I wasn’t very clear. In any case, Decks Of The Damned, developed by the indie studio Thorian Games, offers this innovative alternative by presenting a world where players, as various classes of Vampires, must manage their minions to bring glory to an army of undead.
The player must collect resources, create new items to enhance their armies, explore dungeons, and locate and attack human settlements at night, while during the day, they must defend their lair from human attacks.
Every item, character, and enemy is represented by cards on the game board, and the UI features delightful pixel art graphics. In August 2024, Decks of the Damned will release a playable demo, although there is no specific release date for the full game yet. Below you will find an overview via Steam, screens, and the demo trailer.
