This new ‘roguelike deckbuilding typing game’ is like Mavis Beacon Teaches Balatro, and I’m here for it

Each day presents different passages, including excerpts from public domain literature like 1984 and The Yellow Wallpaper. Players earn in-game currency for survival, which can be spent on perks that enhance typing performance. The game features sound effects for bonuses and live feedback on typing accuracy and speed. TypInc is set to launch on June 30, with a demo currently available on Steam. It may face challenges on platforms like the Steam Deck due to the small screen affecting typing speeds.

Shuffle Tactics (PC) Review

Shuffle Tactics is a deckbuilding roguelike game that revitalizes established mechanics within the genre. Players navigate grid-based maps filled with enemies and objectives, using action points to deploy cards for attacking and defending. The game features three distinct characters with unique specialties: the Doberknight, an archer with ricocheting arrows, and a turret specialist, along with a magic user. Players can customize their combat decks by adding or removing cards after encounters and can acquire relics for passive effects and items to enhance specific cards. The game allows players to recruit sidekicks with their own decks. Each playthrough offers a unique experience, although some mechanics lack adequate explanation. The narrative involves a king who has gone mad, but it serves more as a minor distraction than a central focus.
