Deck of Haunts Coming to Nintendo Switch: Dangen Entertainment Announces Deckbuilding Roguelike for 2025

Deckbuilding Roguelike Deck of Haunts Announced for Nintendo Switch by Dangen Entertainment and Mantis Games Dangen Entertainment, an established name in indie game publishing, and developer Mantis Games have officially announced that Deck of Haunts, a new deckbuilding roguelike, is currently in development for the Nintendo Switch.

Scheduled for a worldwide digital release on the Nintendo eShop in 2025, Deck of Haunts introduces players to a spine-tingling experience where they command the supernatural as the heart of a malevolent haunted mansion. In Deck of Haunts, players assume the unique role of a conscious, haunted house, drawing curious humans inside with the aim of overwhelming them with terror or ultimately eliminating them to extend their wicked influence.

Daytime gameplay involves meticulously designing the labyrinthine layout of the mansion, transforming it into a fortress of scares replete with deadly traps and cunning layouts.

When night falls, the true haunting begins: players guide unlucky explorers through their home, deploying a deck of handcrafted cards to summon ghosts, manipulate hallways, and unleash a host of supernatural terrors designed to drive guests to the brink of madness. "Our vision is to deliver an experience where players can let their creativity run wild as the 'spirit' of the house, tailoring each haunting with unique rooms, traps, and psychological scares," Dangen Entertainment stated in its announcement.

The publisher highlighted several of the game’s core mechanics: - Crafting a unique deck of supernatural fright cards; players unlock and collect new haunts, ranging from chilling screams to elusive phantoms and shifting floors, in pursuit of creative ways to frighten or even defeat their uninvited guests. - Building and optimizing the mansion; each room is carefully placed to protect the vital Heart room, creating a complex maze that bewilder and terrify visitors.

Special chambers and room effects add strategic depth to every playthrough. - Sowing fear in the hearts of explorers; anxiety is heightened as haunt cards and special effects are played, ramping up tension until the human intruders finally succumb to madness.

Once broken, their essence fuels further upgrades to the mansion and attracts even greater challenges. - Unlocking an Endless Mode for replayability, allowing dedicated haunt-enthusiasts to push their skills in an infinite nightmare once certain in-game objectives have been met. Deck of Haunts will be available exclusively via the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch, with a global digital release confirmed for 2025.

Both Dangen Entertainment and Mantis Games have emphasized the game's strategic depth, procedural unpredictability, and atmospheric horror, aiming to deliver a fresh take on the deckbuilding roguelike genre for Nintendo’s popular hybrid platform. Stay tuned for more news and gameplay details as Deck of Haunts approaches its anticipated 2025 launch on the Nintendo Switch.
