All in Abyss: Judge the Fake mixes Kakegurui with witches in a Steam Next Fest demo.
Anybody looking for something a bit more manga than card battler Balatro can try out a Steam Next Fest Demo for All in Abyss. Available to try out for no money down, the opening of an ingenious mix of manga fantasy and high stakes card matches stakes your life on your card skills.
Coming to PC sometime soon, this unusual pairing of poker and powered anime avatars is set in a neo punk city filled with illuminations and exciting nightlife. A wandering self-proclaimed genius gambler stumbles onto the “gambling district”, a special ward where gambling holds influence above all else. After being cheated by this group, Asuha Senahara sets out to get revenge, through cards. While there s plenty of traditional card action, this play on the card battle genre faces off in 1v1 Boss Battles. Take on the Witches, think, lean, and expose the witches’ cheating hands and heinous acts using a range of mechanics and moves.
I’ve not played a hand yet, so I can’t say whether this is just a nicely skinned bit of poker play or a wild mix of genres that will keep my attention. The only way to see is to roll the dice on this bright boss battler over on the Steam Next Fest site now.
