Othercrown, a roguelite revealed on 11 November for PC, puts you on the villains’ side. Your army doesn’t live in a hand of cards, but on the reels of a slot machine you build yourself.
Every draft becomes a gamble on what the reels will throw up. According to Voidmaw, each card you pick becomes a symbol on your machine. The right combination is how you build a horde strong enough to take on the human kingdoms. The reveal trailer premiered on IGN on 11 November, alongside the Steam page, where you can wishlist the game.
Voidmaw is a one-person studio run by Eugene Maw, founded in 2024. Its first game, Katanaut, launched on Steam in September 2025 with Acclaim as publisher. Othercrown is the studio’s second game, swapping Katanaut’s sci-fi action for a mix of slot-machine mechanics, deckbuilding, and automated combat.
Once a battle starts, your monsters fight automatically while you keep the reels spinning. Matching creatures and spells across the reels earns bonuses. When a jackpot is one reel away, you can spend resources to slow time and aim for the symbol you need.
Mutations add another layer. Your creatures absorb them directly, gaining fire, frost, or poison attributes and new abilities. Between fights, you pick a route across a branching war map, with a boss closing every stage. Each run earns experience plus new creatures, mutations, and spells.
The story starts deep underground. You wake after a long burial with no memory of who put you there or why.
Annihilated, another roguelite deckbuilder, launched on the same day Othercrown was revealed.
Othercrown launches on PC in Q1 2027, but Voidmaw hasn’t given a price or an exact date, and PC is the only platform it has named. That window will also be busy: NOSTRA: Crystalbound is set for Steam in Q1 2027, so Othercrown’s slot-machine hook will have to stand out early.
