Steam Deckbuilders Fest runs from May 4th to May 11th. Figured I'd put together some recommendations – mostly lesser-known games, since you've probably already heard of the big ones.

1. Ash of Gods: The Way

Turn-based deckbuilding puzzle game. Every fight is unique and your choices actually matter. Capture checkpoints, protect your commander, survive enemies, and deal with unexpected twists. Two decks, five factions, 32 endings.

1. Vault of the Void

Low-RNG deckbuilder that gives you a lot of control. Card rewards are shown upfront, and you can preview upcoming enemies before a battle. No random events – every path is clear. You can even swap cards between encounters to counter specific enemies. Very tactical.

1. Frosthaven

Inspired by the Gloomhaven universe. Lead your mercenaries through a harsh land where every decision counts. Dungeons, forests, caves – all full of monsters. Carve your way to rewards or die trying.

1. Looper Tactics

Strategy card RPG blending deckbuilding, classic card combat, and auto-chess elements. Explore a grid-based map, fight, find loot, and build your deck while uncovering the truth behind a strange world. (Weird translation aside – it's a solid hybrid.)

1. Warriors of the Nile 2

Fast-paced tactical deckbuilder with Egyptian gods and Roman invaders. Choose your route, position carefully, focus fire, and collect skill tablets to build unique skill sets for your squad. Super satisfying once it clicks.

1. Re:Night

Roguelite deckbuilder where you control three characters in each fight. Use tactical positioning – front/back row, flanking, terrain blocking, cover. Also has an elemental crit system: Fire > Grass > Water. Hit the right element for bonus damage. Demo is out now.

1. Shogun Showdown

Turn-based combat with roguelite and deckbuilding elements. Time your movement and attacks carefully, and upgrade your actions and cards as you go. Prepare to face the Shogun.

1. Paw Pop Breakout

Looks like a brick breaker, but it's actually a deckbuilder in the style of Luck be a Landlord / Balatro. Break bricks, collect shards, reach a point target within the time limit. Shop after each stage, whatever you buy goes into your backpack (your deck). Your deck directly determines which bricks, power-ups, obstacles, and enemies appear in the next stage.

That's it for this round. If you've got other deckbuilders to recommend, drop them in the comments.
