Spider Nest Games has announced that its ambitious roguelike deck builder Vault of the Void is now in retail release. The v1.0 version of the game follows a little over two years of Steam early access, where it has earned a “Very Positive” rating from players. It combines Slay the Spire’s action with Hearthstone’s strategic gameplay for a unique single-player CCG experience.
Players begin the game by selecting one of four available classes to build their first deck around. These are considered archetypes, not set-in-stone classes. Each offers players unique and contrasting play styles and requires different routes through the game.
Vault of the Void features
- A deckbuilder that rewards skill, not randomness. Almost every piece of information the player needs to succeed in a run is available. From tile reward previews for planning your path to combat tips for each encounter. There are no surprises to ruin your run.
- Fluid and Fast Combat. Any card can be Purged into energy. Combine this with the changeable spells; the player is in complete control of every combat instance, allowing them to create limitless combos.
- A deckbuilder that focuses on deckbuilding. Your deck is limited to only 20 cards, which can be modified anytime. Every combat encounter requires a different strategy, so be prepared to chop and change your deck on the fly.
- Create your own cards. Slaying enemies will reward you with Void Stones, powerful gems you can socket into any card to unlock new synergies. With six different Void Stones to collect and 450+ cards, there are over 10,000 combinations you can create.
- Play your way. Three different game modes to play through. Create your own adventure into the void with challenge coins, slay your way through a combat run with a customizable difficulty system or take on unique daily challenges.
Over the two years of early access, solo indie developer Josh Bruce spoke about the changes made in response to community feedback.
