Creature collector roguelike deckbuilder Montabi will launch for Switch 2 and Switch alongside its previously announced Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG) versions on August 6, publisher Akupara Games and developer Mankibo announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via Akupara Games:
About
On a quest to save the city, you’ll tame a roster of unique Montabi, each with their own abilities, in order to battle your way through unforgiving streets. You’ll strategize on a tactical three-by-three battlemap, evolve your Montabi into more powerful forms, and unlock new cards that keep your options fresh—no run ever plays the same way.
