Decktamer, the debut Strategy roguelike from developer Horizon Edge and publisher Assemble Entertainment, flips the traditional deckbuilding formula on its head. Instead of passively acquiring cards, you must actively capture or "tame" the mutant creatures you defeat in battle to recruit them to your deck. This twist transforms every encounter in the mysterious, procedurally generated Abyss into a high stakes decision. Do you risk lethal damage to tame a powerful new ally, or simply destroy the threat to survive the current run? The game's setting in a bizarre, deep crater known for its ever more strange and dangerous inhabitants provides a compelling backdrop for this unique mechanic.

Bandit Trap is a competitive 3v1 physics game where traps are the main weapon. Three bandits try to steal treasure, while one Trapper defends the house, turning rooms into deadly arenas. Everything breaks, explodes, and burns—whoever uses the chaos to their advantage wins. Trapper tactics revolve around creating defense systems. Traps can be hidden in furniture, activated remotely, or triggered manually. Observation towers help control the situation and lure opponents. Destruction of the environment is part of the strategy: collapse walls, flood floors, and create skating rinks from the living room. Bandits work as a team. They must avoid traps, scan rooms, and find ten hidden treasures. Tools, scanners, and ingenuity are essential. One wrong move, and a farce turns into a disaster. Victory goes not to the strongest, but to those who adapt quickly to the chaos.
