After debuting with the eccentric and inimitable Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical, developer Summerfall Studios finds itself in more familiar territory with Malys, billed on Steam as an unholy roguelike deckbuilder.
Malys is currently shooting for a 2025 launch on PC, regardless of how its Kickstarter ends up. Its promise of adaptive storytelling in a world of demon hunters and exorcisms, explored through a tried-and-true card game loop given a little twist, grabbed me immediately. It's more gameplay-heavy than Stray Gods, but still follows Summerfall's guiding star with a focus on characters, many of them already giving Hades' beautiful and beloved cast a run for their money.
