Release Date: June 24, 2025
A tactical RPG with additional card game and roguelike mechanics. Shuffle Tactics was inspired by titles such as Final Fantasy Tactics or Slay the Spire. We control a hero and his companions, participating in turn-based duels during their journey, featuring various types of cards.
Shuffle Tactics is a tactical RPG, enriched with mechanics borrowed from card games and the roguelike genre. The game was developed by the independent French studio Club Sandwich. The main sources of inspiration for its creators were primarily the games Final Fantasy Tactics and Slay the Spire.
In Shuffle Tactics the action is shown in an isometric view.
The main element of the gameplay are turn-based skirmishes with opponents. Battles take place in arenas covered with a grid of square fields. We lead heroes chosen by us and their assistants.
Each of the heroes has an individual set of skills and strong and weak points. The same applies to their companions, among whom we will find a scout, a necromancer, or an assassin. They are reflected in decks of cards associated with specific attacks and abilities that we play during combat. The key to success is therefore not only the proper positioning of units on the battlefield, but also composing such a set of cards, the individual elements of which will complement each other.
Additionally, the game allows us to make use of the power of Glimmer. It poses a risk, so it's worth thinking twice before deciding to take such a step.
As progress is made, the relationships between individual heroes and their companions are strengthened, which translates into the development of their skills, and consequently - their growing combat potential.
On the other hand, death in the game is permanent. When we fall on the battlefield, we can start a new playthrough (keeping the selected upgrades), not necessarily in the skin of the same hero.
Shuffle Tactics takes us to the fantasy Kingdom of Asteria, which is on the verge of collapse due to the so-called Glimmer Curse. During the game, we take on the roles of characters whose goal is to overthrow the evil king Ogma and avert the crisis before things go too far.
The graphic design of Shuffle Tactics was made in pixel art technique.

Game Ratings for Shuffle Tactics Video Game.
Gamer Escape: 5 / 10 by Eliot Lefebvre
I don’t think the game is truly atrocious, and I think if you’re in need of another roguelike game and you have played all of the offerings out there, this will… perform as advertised. But I can’t really recommend it to others.
CGMagazine: 8 / 10 by Lane Martin
Shuffle Tactics takes some well-worn mechanics, shines them up, and executes them in fun and interesting ways.
Gaming Furever: 2 / 5 by Joshua Wyld
Shuffle Tactics has some great bones and ideas. If anything, it feels like a great candidate for Early Access balancing and bug fixing. However, it is a full release and one that retails for $14.99. Because of this, it is taking a bit more scrutiny from me in its present state. I would love to be able to experience the rest of the bosses and levels, but with the level of difficulty being as it is, it’s hard for me to not want to “wait and see” for now before taking on the path to King Ogma again.
