gamingMay 4, 202620286

Steam's Deckbuilders Fest runs through May 11, and publisher Kakehashi Games released a limited demo of Serial World on Steam for PC as part of the event. Serial World is a roguelike deckbuilder from Serial Project, a two-person studio formed by former LEVEL-5 staff. The demo offers a short preview of the game's run-based deckbuilding, letting players test early card synergies and encounter systems. Play the demo before May 11 to get an early look at a project from developers with notable JRPG experience.

1. Cobalt Core This is an absolute gem that's sort of a smidge like FTL, and the interesting thing is how in the ship-to-ship combat positioning is quite a factor. It's also got some wonderful pixelart and adorable characters.

I wanna shout out probably my favorite, which is usually under tge radar. It is closer to a "draft" style deck builder than some of the others, for people who like a little less RNG and more planning! Vault of the Void store.steampowered.com/app/1135810/...

Definitely gonna recommend Black Book for this one, it's a great game & honestly one of the few deck-builders that actually got me interested in them, primarily due to the fact it's got a great story deeply rooted in Slavic folklore during the 19th century. store.steampowered.com/app/1138660/...

It's very nice of them to give a whole fest to the people who assemble their portable machines

I also recommend Wildfrost, which is devilishly difficult but so very charming
