Heroes of Magic & Cards Nintendo Switch: Forever Entertainment and First Day Games Announce Port

Forever Entertainment has confirmed a partnership with developer-publisher First Day Games to bring Heroes of Magic & Cards to Nintendo Switch, the companies announced today. The publisher said a firm release date has not been set and that launch timing will be shared at a later date. Heroes of Magic & Cards is a deckbuilding poker roguelike that blends card-based buildcraft with poker-style hand resolution. Players choose from multiple hero classes, upgrade their decks, collect relics and enchantments, and confront powerful bosses while managing card draws and poker hands to trigger bonus effects. In a briefing-style summary, the publisher outlined the core loop: build an effective deck, draw hands that create valuable poker combinations, and use those combinations to devastate enemies across a mystical fantasy world. The game pairs traditional deckbuilding progression with a 52-card poker framework, asking players to balance long-term deck upgrades against round-to-round tactical play. Key factual details released by the teams include: - Three playable heroes, each offering access to more than 90 distinct abilities that reshape combat and decision-making. - Over 40 enchantments that upgrade cards and enable synergies as you progress through runs. - Hundreds of relics described as powerful modifiers that can dramatically alter builds—for example, items that trade maximum HP for sustained vampiric healing or shift card-number power balances. - Poker-style hand mechanics such as pairs and straights that activate potent combo effects when assembled in combat. - Additional side content, including mini-games like fishing and gambling, intended to provide optional rewards between encounters. The publisher also released a consoles trailer showcasing combat, card synergies, and UI elements designed for controllers. Forever Entertainment and First Day Games have not specified whether the Nintendo Switch release will coincide with other platform launches or when the Nintendo eShop listing will go live. Forever Entertainment has a history of bringing indie and mid-tier titles to Nintendo platforms, and First Day Games is credited as the developer behind Heroes of Magic & Cards. Both companies say they will provide more details, including a release date, in future communications. For now, Nintendo Switch owners can expect a native version of the deckbuilding poker roguelike once the publishers announce timing and distribution details.
