The June 2026 Steam Next Fest is here!
We've just rolled out a major update completely reworking battle visuals, introduce Save functionality, and neat pack opening animations. You can try out all these changes NOW in the public demo!
Please continue to provide feedback either in the Steam Discussions or the official Decklings Discord. Every bit of feedback helps us make the game better!
Decklings breaking the frames!
Listening to a highly requested change from players, Decklings now come to life and appear outside of the cards in the battle scenes. We've also enhanced battle animations, and added smoother transitions
Save Functionality is here!
We hear you, Save functionality has been added to the demo, and is here to stay! Create up to 3 save files and play with your favorite starter.
Battle Balancing Total Overhaul
We've completely rebalanced the card skills, status effects, and creature build to create a more engaging and challenging battle.
Nerfed Reed, a.k.a. The Fisherman.

Replaced initial locations by Forest and Lake to better balance resource allocation
New recipes and materials
Packs everywhere!
Juicier and satisfactory pack opening animations for those who love the hobby.
