Deck of Haunts Brings Chilling Deckbuilding Roguelike Action to Nintendo Switch in 2025

Dangen Entertainment and indie developer Mantis Games have unveiled a chilling new trailer for their upcoming game, Deck of Haunts, confirming its digital release on the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop in 2025.

Combining deckbuilding mechanics with roguelike progression, this unique title puts players in an unusual role: the conscious and malevolent spirit of a haunted mansion, thirsting for fear and influence. In Deck of Haunts, players assume the persona of a supernatural house, luring unsuspecting humans into its labyrinthine halls.

The gameplay unfolds across two phases.

By day, players methodically design and expand the interior of their mansion, strategically laying out rooms, traps, and hallways to maximize terror and confusion.

As night falls, the game shifts focus to haunting mechanics.

Players use a customizable deck of cards to unleash horrifying spirits, shift corridors, and trigger chilling events in their pursuit of scaring, or even dooming, intruders. Dangen Entertainment outlines several core features that set Deck of Haunts apart in the deckbuilding genre.

Players will unlock and collect a variety of cards, each imbued with haunting effects such as spectral apparitions, rattling walls, or sudden screams.

These cards form the backbone of a personalized arsenal designed to strike fear into human explorers, pushing their sanity to the brink.

Once a guest succumbs to terror, players harvest their essence to fuel further mansion upgrades, unlock new rooms, and bolster their haunting abilities. The mansion-building element allows for extensive strategic experimentation.

By carefully positioning rooms and traps, players can protect their Heart room—the vital core of their haunted domain—and create intricate mazes filled with surprises.

Special rooms offer unique powers, adding further depth to emergent gameplay strategies.

As Dangen Entertainment explains, the tension within the mansion mounts as haunt cards are played, with the ultimate goal being to drive every visitor to madness, ensuring none escape your supernatural grasp. Deck of Haunts also features an unlockable endless mode, challenging skilled players to test their haunted house designs and deck compositions in an infinite sequence of terrifying encounters, keeping replayability high. Deck of Haunts is scheduled for worldwide release through the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch in 2025.

With its atmospheric presentation, inventive premise, and blend of deckbuilding and roguelike elements, this title stands poised to captivate horror enthusiasts and strategy fans alike when it arrives on the platform.
