Hack and slash deck-building hybrid Book of Demons announced for Switch

Publishers 505 Games and SONKA, in collaboration with developer Thing Trunk, have announced that Book of Demons will be released on Switch. The hack and slash deck-building hybrid launches digitally on April 30.

Here’s an overview of Book of Demons, along with a trailer:

Book of Demons is a deck-building hybrid adventure game that is part tribute to hack and slash favourites and part parody, offering a spin on the classic tale of good and evil and saving the world from ultimate devilry. By wielding magic cards instead of weapons and slaying armies of darkness in procedurally generated dungeons below the Old Cathedral, the game encourages players to strategize and adapt their hand using items, spells and skills and a variation of diverse bonuses and upgrades.

Developed with the Flexiscope engine, Book of Demons gifts players with the power of time. Players can divide the game into sessions of any length with the engine learning player pace to anticipate time estimated to complete the next session.

Additional spellbinding features of Book of Demons include:

Three playable classes, each with different cards: Warrior, Rogue and Mage
40 cards with magical and legendary variants per character class
Three underground realms and epic Quest Boss battles
7 families of monsters with 70+ variations including custom traits and mechanics
Roguelike mode for fans seeking an extreme challenge
Four unlockable endgame difficulties in Freeplay mode after completing the campaign
Complete offering of cards ever released
Special grand finale surprise after defeating the insidious Archdemon

Book of Demons will cost $24.99 on the Switch eShop. By pre-ordering on the eShop, you can save 10 percent.
