Verse of Birth is a PC deck-building roguelike from Dentsu Game Center, a division of the advertising agency Dentsu. It was playable at Tokyo Game Dungeon 13 and is being shown in a playable demo at the 4Gamer booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026.
Verse of Birth is a PC deck-building roguelike developed by Dentsu Game Center, an in-house division of the advertising agency Dentsu. The game features auto-battles and generative AI, and it was playable at Tokyo Game Dungeon 13 before its Tokyo Game Show 2026 appearance.
The project was first reported on August 11, 2026, when the game's structure was described: players place cards on a diamond grid, and attack order is determined by SPD. Generative AI creates card art and original characters from player text input. Developer Takuma Kawada confirmed the balance is hand-controlled to keep AI output within a fixed parameter range.
By September 17, 2026, the game was being demonstrated at Tokyo Game Show 2026 in a playable demo at the 4Gamer booth. In that demo, players type any text string, and Adobe Firefly plus OpenAI's GPT-4o generate a monster card in real time with a name, appearance, stats, and skills. The prototype was first shown at TOKYO INDIE GAMES SUMMIT 2025 and took about a year and a half to complete.
The two reports agree on the core design: a deck-building roguelike with auto-battles where generative AI creates cards from text input. The August report describes the diamond grid and SPD-based turn order; the September report adds the specific tools, the real-time monster card generation, and the prototype timeline.
