Indie developer Sandman Team has revealed Mutate! Fight! Purr!, a new roguelike deckbuilder featuring a satanic cat protagonist. Players mutate their cat character and command minions in battles against supernatural foes. A free demo is available on Steam, though no release date has been set.
Sandman Team, an indie game developer and publisher, recently unveiled Mutate! Fight! Purr!, a dark roguelike deckbuilder set in a near-biblical world. The game centers on a satanic cat protagonist who gains mutation powers to evolve into larger monstrosities during runs. Players explore mysterious realms filled with rituals, supernatural encounters, and shifting paths that present new challenges each time.
Core gameplay involves strategic deckbuilding, where cards emphasize synergies rather than individual strength. Users combine cards with passive mutations to create evolving strategies, unlocking forbidden abilities and commanding summoned minions. These companions assist in combat by attacking, defending, and triggering effects that interact with the deck.
Battles pit the player against angels, prophets, and horrors warped by scripture in tactical, tense encounters. Ritual mutations reshape the cat's build, encouraging risky choices that alter playstyles mid-run. The mysterious exploration includes rooms with battles, rituals, and events, allowing for dynamic progression.
Announced last week, the game offers a free demo on Steam for players to experience its mechanics. No specific release plans have been detailed yet, but the title highlights creative tactical chains and counterplay in its myth-inspired fights.
