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.

That's surprising - and absolutely lovely! ☺️
We did a artstyle exploration study in Uni for our new pixel art game. I made one in the style of #DeathHowl from @11bitstudios.bsky.social

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! 🤍

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.

‘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.
