DeckLand Announced for Nintendo Switch 2 and Original Switch: A Unique Fusion of Yutnori, Deck-Building, and Roguelite Gameplay

CFK has officially announced the upcoming release of DeckLand for both the Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Nintendo Switch, expanding the company’s diverse lineup on Nintendo’s popular platforms.

While the release date for either Nintendo Switch version has yet to be confirmed, anticipation is mounting among fans of deck-building and roguelite genres, especially given the game’s unique connection to traditional Korean culture.

Developed by the creative team at JellySnow, DeckLand combines the age-old mechanics of the classic Korean board game "Yutnori" with innovative deck-building and roguelite systems.

The game invites players to assume the role of a monk navigating a kingdom on the verge of ruin, plagued by demons and teetering between chaos and salvation.

This artistic direction draws from the cultural heritage of Korea, incorporating a heartfelt narrative and dynamic visuals to deliver a gaming experience that stands out in today's crowded marketplace. DeckLand’s gameplay is designed around strategy and adaptability, offering players limitless approaches through the integration of deck-building and traditional Yutnori movement across interconnected maps.

As players progress, they face a variety of monsters and formidable opponents, while collecting and managing powerful cards that can alter the course of their journey.

Growth is a core tenet of the gameplay experience, as players utilize talismans for buffs and participate in card synthesis to enhance their monk’s abilities, ensuring that successive runs offer continuous improvement and new tactical opportunities. The narrative of DeckLand is woven with elements of martial arts and the sentiment known as 'han,' reflecting sorrow and longing—a recurring theme in Korean storytelling.

Through a series of mysterious events encountered on the journey, players will make choices that shape the outcome of their tale and reveal deeper truths about the kingdom’s past.

This story-driven approach is further elevated by stunning visuals that marry fantastical themes with traditional Korean aesthetics, immersing players through cinematic cutscenes and meticulously crafted environments. While CFK has not set an official release date for DeckLand on Nintendo Switch 2 or the original Switch, the game represents a notable collaboration between publisher and developer and underscores the ongoing vitality of the eShop catalog.

As more details emerge, Nintendo Switch enthusiasts can look forward to a unique addition to their libraries that bridges legacy gameplay, modern mechanics, and a rich cultural narrative. Stay tuned for further updates on DeckLand’s release window and additional information about new titles coming to both the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 platforms.
