Publisher Kwalee and developer Flash Cat Games, a Polish indie studio, will release 'Talespinner' on August 6 for PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch. The deck-building roguelike is themed around Japanese folktales, featuring three heroes, over 200 cards, 50 enemy types, 16 bosses, and a scenario system. A demo is available on Steam with a 90% positive user rating.
The game is priced at 2,406 yen on the Nintendo eShop. Players choose from three heroes - Gyokushin, a blind Taoist who uses Jade as a card cost; Rinka, a fox woman with lotus power; and Himura, an oni boy with a serpent spirit. Each scenario, such as pursuing a Yuki-onna or challenging Hattori Hanzo's ninja, unfolds differently. The core resource is Story Points, which let players access central events on a branching path or open a notebook shop mid-run. Developer Flash Cat Games was founded in 2020 by three friends who share a particular passion for Japanese mythology.
