EMBARK ON A JOURNEY TO BECOME A MIGHTY MAHOKEN WHEN TACTICON AND GAMES MADE IN FRANCE EVENTS KICK OFF ON STEAM TOMORROW

Paris, France, September 21, 2022 — Publisher Iceberg Interactive and Developer Game Source Studio have announced that a free PC demo for Japan-inspired deck-building strategy game Mahokenshi will debut tomorrow as part of the TactiCon and Games Made in France digital events hosted on Steam. The former strategy game-focused event will be hosted and presented by indie game publishers Hooded Horse and Firesquid; the latter is coordinated by Capital Games and will celebrate French creativity through titles developed by more than 20 studios.

Mahokenshi’s free Steam demo will allow deckbuilding fans to experience the Celestial Islands from the perspective of the relentless Ayaka of House Ruby and the newly announced Kaito of House Sapphire, a powerful tactician whose playstyle is based on defense, area of effect, and provocation. The demo will also feature more enemies, a new tutorial, a new mission, a new leveling system, and a new Mahoken tree.


The full game will include two additional characters: stealth master Sota of House Jade and intelligent spellcaster Miskai of House Topaz. Players will be challenged to build their card decks, evolve their chosen character, and expertly strategize to protect the sanctity of the Celestial Islands from the corruption of a forbidden magic. Collect over 200 lovingly illustrated cards, defeat formidable foes, and discover treasure and remote locations. Execute gorgeous fully animated attacks on your journey to restore harmony.


Mahokenshi launches for PC via Steam in January 2023. A free demo is now available as part of the TactiCon and Games Made in France digital Steam events.
