SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech is out now

The developers at Image & Form Games are switching things up again with the latest entry in the SteamWorld series. This time it's mashup of tradition of a tradition RPG and deck-building in SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech.

As always, the art is absolutely beautiful with it's hand drawn backgrounds and characters. The art really gives off the feeling of a card game come to life. And because of the turn-based nature of the gameplay you'll have plenty of time to admire everything.

The deck building aspect may be a bit more limited depending on your previous experience with card games. Each character can have a selection of 8 cards, for a 24 card deck total. However, there are a lot of different cards so there is still plenty of opportunity to create interesting decks.

The RPG plus card aspect reminds me a lot of the Mega Man Battle Network games. Collecting cards, instead of chips, and choosing a limited set with good synergies to use in combat.

SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech is available now on Steam.
