Rise of the Slime is a tactical deck-building game that offers players a variety of deep and strategic gameplay, while also giving the cartoonish and chill nature of a side-scrolling adventure. In the game, players are thrown in as a blue slime that must face powerful enemies by using powerful playing cards and strong positioning while moving through the universe. Adding to that, the slime also gets some help from fancy hats and pet companions to help along his journey. According to the press release, players will experience:
“Turn-based combat alongside real-time exploration, offering a unique mix of roguelike and deckbuilder.
Positional mechanics, matching your wits against enemies. Strategically quick step, push, and flip behind enemies to gain the advantage in combat. Use your cards wisely!
A visually appealing art style, with striking, colorful characters, cards and environments.
Extensive replay value with gameplay mutators, shifting routes and hundreds of deck build variations (100 magical cards at launch!). Each playthrough of Rise of the Slime is different!”
