Developer Voidmaw has announced their new title, Othercrown. This deck-building auto-battler roguelike, told from the villain's perspective, is scheduled to launch on Steam in Q1 2027.
Players must assemble a monster army to battle the human kingdoms on the surface. Before each battle, players can select cards from their draw to customize their slot machine reels. During combat, monsters fight automatically while players spin the reels, matching creature and spell symbols to trigger summons and additional effects.
The reels also feature wild and multiplier symbols. When close to hitting the jackpot, players can spend resources to slow down time and lock in desired patterns. Creatures can absorb mutations to gain attributes like fire, cold, or poison, as well as new abilities; stacking identical creature cards also increases their level.
After each battle, players choose their path on a branching march map, with bosses awaiting at the end of each stage. As challenge experience and character levels increase, new creature cards, mutations, and spells unlock in subsequent runs. The story begins with the protagonist awakening underground: having lost their memory after being buried for a long time, they must dig upward while uncovering the reason for their imprisonment. The Steam store page currently indicates Japanese language support.
