Mechjestic Brings Steampunk Mechs to the Deck-Building Roguelite at TGS2026
Mechjestic takes the Slay the Spire template and swaps out two of its most punishing habits, forced card additions and dead turns from high-cost draws, which is the part of the demo worth watching as Skinny Bandit scales the roster toward 22 characters.

At Tokyo Game Show 2026, Skinny Bandit showed Mechjestic, a deck-building roguelite set in a steampunk world where players modify mechs and fight enemies. The demo opens with a choice of three characters, and the plan is to grow that roster to 22. Combat follows the Slay the Spire template, with fuel instead of mana, and adds card-free Attack and Ability actions, a Refuel system, and free deck editing. A Steam demo is available.
The demo opens with three playable characters, each one changing the contents of your starting deck, and Skinny Bandit plans to grow that number to 22. Combat borrows the Slay the Spire structure, where each turn deals out fuel that cards spend, but the game adds two actions that cost no card at all: an Ability that lowers an enemy's defense once per battle, listed at minus 3 even in its base state, and a direct Attack that costs nothing and can be repeated by paying money. Fuel can also be spent to strengthen the mech, raising the fuel that accumulates each turn and the number of cards drawn. A Refuel system lets players discard a card to refill fuel on the spot, and decks can be edited at any time rather than through shop visits.
