DeckTamer: Catch Them All in the Abyss
Developed by Assemble Entertainment, this roguelike blends deck-building with monster catching.

With endless synergies and turn-based tactical depth, it’s a fresh take on the genre.
Replicat: Memory and Meows
If you like Balatro but wish it had more cats, Replicat is for you. This roguelike memory deckbuilder challenges you to match cards and build powerful combos using game-altering items. It’s quirky, fast-paced, and rewards clever rule-bending.
