The game is centered around a roguelike deck-building system where players navigate between encounters, constructing a deck of cards to fight enemies and earn rewards. While it incorporates the strategic depth of traditional deck-builder games, allowing players ample time to consider card plays, Vampire Crawlers also introduces a dynamic element where cards can be played rapidly for various effects. This blend emphasizes both thoughtful planning and quick decision-making in its combat system. As a spin-off, it retains thematic ties to the Vampire Survivors universe while introducing a fresh gameplay loop. Set for release in 2026, Vampire Crawlers is being developed by poncle and Nosebleed Interactive, known for their work on Arcade Paradise. The developers have expressed intentions to support the game post-launch, with numerous ideas for future content that will be guided by player feedback and suggestions.

Peglin

Peglin is a roguelike deck-builder that combines the strategic depth of card games with the unique mechanics of pachinko. Players assume the role of a Peglin, a goblin-like creature, and navigate through monster-filled dungeons, battling foes using a specialized Pegboard. Instead of traditional card combat, players drop orbs down a pachinko-style board, and the resulting bounces determine the damage dealt and the effects triggered by their collected relics and orbs. The core gameplay loop involves strategically choosing which orbs to use and aiming them to hit as many pegs as possible, critical pegs for bonus damage, or refreshing pegs to regain lost orbs. Players collect various orbs with different attack patterns and effects, as well as an array of unique relics that synergize to create powerful builds. Each run offers different challenges and opportunities for growth, ensuring a fresh experience with every playthrough. Progression in Peglin is tied to both current run performance and meta-progression, allowing players to unlock new orbs, relics, and challenges over time.
