RiffRaff Games has announced Sleight of Hand, a deckbuilder-style third-person action and stealth game for Xbox Series and PC (Steam, Microsoft Store). In addition, it will be available through Xbox Game Pass. A release date has not yet been announced.
Game summary:
Infiltrate a rain-soaked, taboo-ridden city, where ritual magic and cursed artifacts distinguish those with power from those without. Sleight of Hand is a third-person stealth action game about taking down the coven you used to be with.
Key Features:
- A New Genre – Sleight of Hand is a deckbuilder-style stealth action game. Cards are Special Abilities – The special abilities you use are drawn from the cards in your deck. Cards allow you to explore, teleport, set traps, blind enemies, and interact with your environment so you can enter and exit each level without being seen… unless you prefer the noisy approach.
- Limited Set of Innate Actions – Approaching and customizing is risky, but quiet, and allows you to draw a free card.
- Powerful Equipment – Equip cursed amulets that have persistent passive effects that activate under special conditions.
- Stack the Deck – Upgrade your cards and stack your deck to suit specific environments and settle scores.
- Tactical Espionage Action – Power comes from efficiency. Which cards you carry with you is just as important as how many you will carry.
Sleight of Hand promises to offer a unique gaming experience by combining elements of stealth, action and deck building. Players will have the freedom to choose between stealth or more direct approaches as they fight the coven they once belonged to.
With its innovative mix of genres and its inclusion in Xbox Game Pass, Sleight of Hand is set to captivate stealth fans and card game lovers alike.
