Today appears to be the day for interesting new deckbuilders. The latest announcement I’m happy to pass on is that of Rogue Skies, a new hybrid tactics game all about sky pirates.
Rogue Skies looks like an interesting fusion of ship-to-ship combat with giant cannons, and squad-based combat taking place between boarding parties.
During the action, you’ll be clutching a hand of cards, and switching between airship attacks and moving your units into combat. After that, you’ll be heading to floating cities to upgrade your crew and ship.
At this early stage it’s hard to say too much more, but the trailer embedded below does showcase a really sweet anime-inspired art style and some smooth animations.
All in all, Rogue Skies has made a positive first impression on me and I’m eager to see more, although there’s no word yet on when that’ll be.
The Rogue Skies Steam page is now up and running, so float over there to wishlist the game on PC (Win) if you also like the cut of its jib and you want to stay in the loop.
