11 NOVEMBER 2026 - Solo developer Eugene Maw (Voidmaw) reveals Othercrown, a deck-building auto-battler roguelite where you play from the perspective of the villains, build your own slot machine, and deploy monsters and spells against the human kingdoms.
Forget saving the kingdom. In Othercrown, you're here to tear it down.
Developed by the creator of Katanaut, this second outing from Voidmaw swaps sci-fi action for an unusual mix of slot machine mechanics, deckbuilding and automated combat. Every card you draft shapes your slot reels, and finding the right combination is how you build an army capable of taking down the kingdoms above.
The game's first trailer premiered today on IGN, alongside the launch of the Steam page, and is scheduled for a Q1 2027 PC release.

About the Game
In Othercrown, your army lives on your slot reels, and each card you draft becomes a symbol within your slot machine. Through it, you deploy spells and monsters during battles and work towards the craziest builds. Maximise the efficiency of your slots and deploy as many creatures & spells as you can during your fights against the human kingdoms.
Spin slot reels and deploy creatures who will fight battles on their own while you keep pumping out ever-increasing forces. Construct the most efficient slot machine possible to maximise the amount of jackpots that you can get.
The story starts deep underground, where you wake up after a long burial with no memory of who put you there or why. Along your quest to dig for more answers, you'll meet interesting characters who help you along your journey and face humans who just want to keep you below the surface.
Keep in mind that your enemies will attempt to counter your hordes and strategy, so adapting between runs will be a necessity. Draft more creatures and land powerful spells at the right moments, in order to burn through the kingdoms that have tried to keep you down for centuries.
- Build Your Reels - Everything comes down to how you draft and build your slot reels before each battle. Construct them in clever ways to maximise how many creatures & spells you have at your disposal each battle. Take advantage of wildcards and multipliers that change how reels react across various situations.
- Spin Into Battle - Once the battles start, your hordes will fight on their own while you keep the reels spinning and focus on matching. Matching creatures and spells across the reels will yield bonus benefits. When a jackpot is one reel away, spend resources to slow time and aim for the symbol you need!
- Mutate Your Army - Mutations are absorbed straight into your creatures, giving them fire, frost or poison attributes and new abilities to wield. Stack matching creature cards to level them up, improving their efficiency on the battlefield.
- Choose Your Road - Between battles, choose your path forward across a branching war map, with a boss waiting at the end of every stage. With every run, gain more experience to level up your character and earn new card creatures, mutations and spells for future runs.
