Inti Creates has announced that its new roguelike deckbuilder Card-en-Ciel will launch digitally on the Switch October 24, 2024.
You play as Neon and must collect and battle over 300 cards in 10 unique dungeons, strengthening your deck with new abilities as you progress. Additionally, special ‘Muse’ cards can also be activated during battle, harnessing the power of over 50 vocal tracks included in the game.
Those familiar with Mega Man: Battle Network and its sequels will no doubt be delighted by the gameplay on display here, which looks remarkably similar to Capcom’s tactical RPG series.
Along with the Japanese physical release (with more info on the western release later) a spin-off title is included Divine Dynamo Flamefrit, which was created as an April Fool’s joke by Inti Creates, but is actually a real game inspired by the world of Card-en-Ciel. Phew!
Divine Dynamo Flamefrit 2D is an action title inspired by 90s robot anime. Its gameplay is primarily presented in a top-down isometric view, but then shifts to a first-person perspective when boss battles occur, during which you fight a robot companion Flamefrit.
Let’s look at some more information about Card-en-Ciel from Inti Creates:
Card-en-Ciel includes over 300 different space video game character cards, each with their own personality.
Each card is fully fleshed out, from the moment you first earn it to the moment you use their special abilities in battle. They’ll react even when you’re doing well or in trouble and will talk to their friends and enemies while they’re idle! The characters on your cards come to life thanks to the “Link Etude System” in Card-en-Ciel.
In addition to the game characters in the universe, INTI CREATES game characters are also on the cards!
We’ll be sure to share more information about Card-en-Ciel as we hear more in the coming weeks and months.
