In recent memory, Death Howl. One of my favourite games I've played in the last year. Truly excellent non-rogue turn based deckbuilder. Wonderful art direction. And you are literally a mom

It's the last day of Steam’s #Tacticon 2025! If you haven’t yet, take a look at #DeathHowl - a tactical deck-builder with grid-based combat and just the right touch of soulslike flavour.

I've started The Alters by @11bitstudios.bsky.social (This War of Mine, Frostpunk), and I already know I'm going to love it. I'm spoiled: I manage a base nestled in a giant wheel rolling on a distant and rugged planet where I must escape the sunrise. To help me while I'm the sole survivor, I...

It's kind of funny – we didn't realise at first that we were actually merging these two genres! We aimed for an open-world deck builder, but our focus testers actually pointed out the #SoulsLike elements! Thanks for a lovely preview, @pcgamer.com! 🤍 www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/i-...

I couldn't picture how Death Howl, a soulslike deckbuilder, could possibly marry the two genres—until I played its Steam Next Fest demo
Then my face got smashed, now I'm a believer.

What a lovely piece of coverage from VICE! 🔥 "(...) manages to squeeze in Soulslike elements and, surprisingly, makes them fit perfectly". "(...) can’t get enough of Death Howl, and I’ll be keeping a close eye on when I can jump back into its alluring world" www.vice.com/en/article/d...

‘Death Howl’ Is an Innovative Take On Deck Builders and I Simply Must Have More
Since playing the demo, 'Death Howl' has me hooked with its innovative approach to deck building, turn-based combat, and Soulslike elements.
