Villain Games is making Hero’s Hand for Nintendo Switch, the developer has announced. We’ll be seeing the title sometime in 2026.
Hero’s Hand features a mix of poker, RPGs, and roguelite gameplay – not to mention hand-drawn animation. As part of the journey, you’ll become the Knight of Spades and save the land of Cardunia.
Lots of information can be found in the following overview:
We mashed together poker, RPGs, and roguelites to make the wildest single-player adventure possible. Become the Knight of Spades and build up your reputation across the land of Carduia! Face off against maniacal monsters by moving around the board to pick up cards to form the best poker hands possible with the cards you are dealt.
Your strategies, fortunes, items, weapons, and armor come together to form a unique run experience each time, as you thwart larger and more over-the-top creatures in your efforts to face death and save the world!
Key Features
Poker-Based Combat – Choose your cards wisely! Form spirit weapons via different hand types to defeat a wide spectrum of monsters who wield their own powers.
Powerful Weapons and Armor to Find – Powerful items known as relics can be found throughout the Realm. The effects of these artifacts can enhance your build through powerful interactions. But don’t be hasty, obtaining a relic may cost you more than a smattering of gold.
