Independent developers, D20Studios, are excited to announce their next title, Summoners Fate, a roguelike deckbuilder that plays like a traditional board game. Summoner Fate is releasing in Steam Early Access on Monday the 20th of June.
Summoners Fate is a roguelike adventure game that fuses traditional turn-based combat with card-slinging spell combat. After choosing one of the eight summoners, you must embark on a perilous quest through the multiverse in search of hidden secrets, powerful cards, and battle-changing team members…oh, and you may find a mutated rabbit along the way.
Deckbuilding in Summoners Fate is a unique experience due to your cards playing like a finite resource. Upon casting a board-shattering spell the card is sent to your discard pile, where it will stay until you greet the cosmic tortoise and eat some marshmallows, seriously.
What happens when you run out of cards? Combat is a tactical mix of turn-based grid action (Xcom, Phoenix Point) and powerful card combinations (Slay the Spire, Monster Train). This combination brings an almost ‘survival game’ aspect to Summoners Fate, where choosing your fights and the resources you spend is as important as the cards you play and the position you take.
Summoners Fate draws its inspiration from classic tabletop games like Hero Quest and Talisman, combining tactical combat with thoughtful events decided by the trusty roll of a D20. While combat is turn-based, exploring the Multiverse is done in real-time, allowing you to uncover lore scrolls, shop for powerful cards and even attend a goblin's birthday party (don't forget your gold).
Game Features:
-3 Worlds to explore, each with its own events, characters, and bosses
-8 Summoners to guide through an adventure, each offering a unique ability for you to master
-Over 30 characters to meet through world events, all of which can join your adventure
-Over 300 cards you can collect on your quest to build the perfect deck
-PvE Battle mode, the perfect arena to master your favorite Summoner
Summoners Fate will release in Steam Early Access on Monday 20th June. The game will feature as part of the Steam Next Fest between the 13th of June and the 20th of June. A demo will be available for the duration of the festival, which will allow players to experience the tutorial and the opening world.
