Seeking out your next card-battling RPG on Nintendo Switch? This new project from publisher Playstack and developer Bunkovsky Games might be right up your alley!

Both companies have announced Rise of the Slime – a new roguelite deckbuilding adventure heading to Nintendo Switch and other major platforms this Spring. The game will see players in the role of a hapless Slime, as it plows through hordes of enemies with powerful cards at its disposal!

Check out the official trailer below:

Offering a unique mix of deep, tactical deck-builder gameplay with the chill vibes of a side-scrolling adventure, Rise of the Slime plonks your squidgy hero in an enchanted and dangerous world. Help Slime overcome the odds by playing insanely powerful cards in turn-based, positional combat against a bunch of baddies—though you just might feel terrible dousing them with acid.

With the help of fancy hats and pet companions to spice up your adventures, you’ll traverse beautiful and exotic lands, from sizzling fire swamps to toxic marshlands to a breezy unfurling garden populated by sexy radishes!
