Demon's Mirror

Platform: PC
September 5, 2024
Demon's Mirror is the first game to combine roguelike deckbuilding and chain-3 mechanics in a way that creates a powerful synergy between the two. Like other deckbuilders, you battle enemies by playing cards to attack, defend, and gain powers, but in Demon's mirror you also battle opponents by chaining tiles. Certain cards let you manipulate the board in ways that will allow you to create longer chains. Mastering the strategic balance between playing cards and chaining tiles is what will ultimately determine your fate. Demon's Mirror plays like a combination of Slay the Spire meets Puzzle Quest (but with a chain-3 mechanic).
