Whether you love or hate roguelike deckbuilders, you're going to have to get used to them being around. Between games like Slay The Spire, Hand of Fate, Inscryption and Dicey Dungeons, games that combine strategy card games and dungeon-crawling are the hottest place to be right now.
This latest one, Castle Morihisa, is from Smokingbear Studio, and features four playable classes: Samurai, Monk, Ninja, and Onmyoji, each of which have their own unique playstyles, benefits, and weaknesses.
The Monk
A master of both defense and offense, the Monk features two unique mechanics [Meditation] & [Mantra].
One with which he cleanses his mind and spirit, one with which he cleanses the wicked. But by choosing your talents wisely, you can turn offense into defense and vice versa!
The Samurai
To [kill in one blow] is the essence of his bushido spirit. Be it [Sakura] or [Retaliate], the Samurai utilizes his unique mechanics in the pursuit of reaching and surpassing the most extreme limits.
Of course, the final choice rests in your hands. But truth be told: if big numbers are what you're all about, then the Samurai is for you!
The Onmyoji
The Onmyoji calls upon the aid of mighty [Shikigami] in battle, beings fueled by the Onmyoji's own blood.
Apart from this sacred art, they can also activate powerful talents for builds that focus on [Leech]. Have you ever before laid eyes upon an Onmyoji who wades fearlessly into battle?
The Ninja
Binding seals? Genjutsu? Kunai, shuriken? The ninjas of Senjiu Castle are masters of them all: [9 Mantra Signs], [Kunai], [Shuriken].
Together, these create endless combinations and possibilities. A class that requires a deep understanding of its mechanics to master! Do you have what it takes to reach its skill cap?
Castle Morihisa will be out on the Nintendo Switch on February 10th, 2022, for $14.99 / €12.49 with a 10% launch discount.

I took a chance on Slay The Spire and really enjoyed it. This gives me the same vibes. Might have to try it out.
The lack of animations makes it extremely boring to look at.
I wish they'd made a bigger effort on that.
I am all about more deckbuilders...Slay the Spire and Monster Train are far and away my most played Switch games, and I cannot wait for Roguebook...
...but this one I am skeptical about. I hope it turns out worthwhile, and I'll gladly purchase if it is, but it looks like it's basically a mod of Slay the Spire. I mean, the entire layout of the screen border icons, the health bars of enemies...all of it looks exactly like StS.
Hoping for the best! Definitely agree that some more animations instead of just stagnant characters would be nice.
always good to see a Kate Gray subheader 🙏🏽
Not a single deck, patio or terrace in the whole damn trailer. False advertising.
I do enjoy turned-based games with card combat mechanics. I think the last I played was Voice of Cards and before that SteamWorld Quest. Hopefully this one impresses.
I got addicted to Slay the Spire last year, and this game looks basically like the same game so will probably get it
@CharlieGirl And here I nearly missed such a genius subheader if you hadn't pointed it out! Someone give her a raise!
@CharlieGirl
And her sense of humor is such that one can usually tell its one of her articles from the subheaders.
This looks like a Slay the Spire wannabe. I'm far from done with that game (only got A10 so far) so I'll hold off on this one.
It looks pretty good, the only problem is that I really despise roguelikes. Gonna be a pass for me.
