Surely, tactical games are among my favorite genres, not to mention the pixel graphics and the game I’m introducing showcases tactical mechanics, features superpixel graphics, and, most importantly, has a unique cast of anthropomorphic heroes. Shuffle Tactics, developed and published by Club Sandwich, is rogue-lite deckbuilding tactical RPG that blends strategic turn-based combat with card game mechanics.
The game encourages players to strategize and overcome challenging battles by creating potent card synergies and developing relationships with sidekicks to gain advantages in combat. Each gameplay run is unique, providing diverse experiences as players aim to rule the mystical land of Asteria.
Shuffle Tactics core features involve deep deckbuilding elements where players can customize their approaches by mixing different hero mechanics and unlocking powerful cards. It also includes a narrative where players repeatedly face death and resurrection, adding a layer of mystery about the recurring cycles of life and combat in a corrupted world.
This mix of tactical grid-based maps in the vein of Final Fantasy Tactics and Slay the Spire card mechanics has true potential, but we must wait a little for Shuffle Tactics to be released. In fact, there is only a Q2 2024 window on PC and a “TBA” on Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation. In the meantime, below is an overview of the game Via Steam, screens, and a Trailer.
