PARIS (June 24, 2025) — Publisher The Arcade Crew (Drop Duchy, Young Souls, Infernax) and developer Club Sandwich have officially released Shuffle Tactics, a dark fantasy, tactical deckbuilding RPG that reimagines classic fantasy warrior types, today on Steam for €14.99. Players can enjoy a 20% discount starting today until July 1.
Today’s trailer offers a glimpse into Shuffle Tactics’ fusion of strategic environmental positioning and stunning pixel art, all brought to life with rich shading, dynamic lighting and eye-catching effects:
In Shuffle Tactics’ medieval world of Asteria, King Ogma has cursed the land while attempting to revive his beloved queen. Instead of returning his true love to her kingdom, King Ogma has inflicted Glimmer upon the world. This mysterious force has corrupted the inhabitants of Asteria and the King himself, while also imbuing Shuffle Tactics’ starring heroes with special powers. Discover the secret behind the curse that repeatedly revives these warriors after they fall in battle, all while fighting to bring down the corrupted King Ogma to restore peace to the realm of Asteria.
Shuffle Tactics Features:
- Three unique heroes:
- Doberknight: A sword-hurling powerhouse that can kick foes into optimal positions. Cunning fighters can also unlock an alternate kit of abilities tailored to spread corrupting fire across tiles on the grid-based map, adding another layer to the Doberknight’s deep strategic potential.
- Fletch: Unshakably proud of his peasant roots and humble hometown, Fletch has no reservations in challenging the king’s authority, standing firm in battle behind defensive structures he crafts with his own hands.
- Catalina: A master of elemental magic and a noble who has forgone a pampered life to spy for her house and avenge her parents from the battlefield.
- 10 total sidekicks, each wielding distinct abilities that can turn a rough skirmish in your favor.
- Each sidekick is skilled in a different area, such as healing, magic and archery. Choose the top two sidekicks in each run that best complement your playstyle.
- Face off against 27 different enemy types, each with their own tactics and tricks to keep you on your toes.
- Show your might against 10 formidable bosses, each requiring tactical prowess for success.
- Six regions to explore, from the outskirts of a capital city in The Deluge, to The Snarl’s lush forest.
- Seemingly endless synergy combos:
- With 300 hero cards, 150 sidekick cards and hundreds of relics, mix and match to find the perfect combinations to outsmart your foes.
Admire Shuffle Tactics’ weaving of 2D pixel art with 3D environments as you strategize your path to victory, and claim your rightful place as Asteria’s new King. Tacticians must navigate sprawling 3D battlefields, where every angle and elevation can mean the difference between victory and defeat, emphasizing the critical importance of positioning. For warlords with a competitive edge, medals will be awarded to players with the fastest run, lowest damage received during a run, and biggest single attack damage.
